It didn't start that way. It ended up with Valenti # 032 coming home with me.... as the door prize at the 2009 International GTG. I am soooo stoked. Bringing it along to my clubdate tonight. Did I mention I am soooo stoked? Sorry.
Gigged that sucker last night. Still needs some minor tweaks but its quite a bass. Considering its a Tele style, its got a lot of mids and highs. But it also has a very usable tone control to get vintage-y real quickly. It even slaps and pops.
That's awesome that you won that bass at the GTG. I wonder if we can get Pete Skjold to give away a bass at the next Ohio GTG.
What a great story and what a sweet bass - CONGRATULATIONS! That's a pretty rare shade of green for a bass, or is it just the pic? It really looks cool, I think. I won a bottle of shampoo and a sportsbag as a doorprize once . not quite the same...
And seeing there was only about 15 people there, the chances of me getting it is huge! And I plan to attend the International GTG next year, so maybe Ill be getting a Valenti! Beautiful bass, btw!
Karma. Just remember it is a wheel. Those who did not recieve a free Valenti will get retibution via the cosmos. Until then enjoy that beauty. You are one fortunate fella (for now)
