The Valenti Megathread (Mk. II)

[Nino Valenti]

Nino,
is a 5-string thunderbird or 5-string explorer possible?

-Bazz-

Unfortunately, that is not an option.

The color is called Coral.

Red is notorious for fading no matter if its on a tshirt, or paint, or how many times do you see old coca-cola bottles on the street faded to a orangish color.

This is what Coral was to represent, what Fiesta Red looks like after its faded...

There is no pink about this bass Nino its more of a orange color..

thanks!

Since it's not an option for Nino, if you can afford a bit more check out Bud Lecompte: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Happy Birthday Nino. I sense a bandwagon

Sorry, I am just using some shameless self promotion of my Valenti bass to bump this topic back up towards the top

This bass really stands out when it's dark outside

I get a LOT of people asking me what this bass is at my shows so hopefully they start getting on the Valenti craze

Did I mention that I love this bass

Your drummers kick drum kills me

The girls usually like the flapping tongue for some reason

as i cant afford a sadowsky, how does a valenti compare? can i get the same vibe? anyone have both basses here?
cheers

 

[ibanezcollector]

I love that seafoam, and the guitarist into to shabby either, unless of course its your girlfriend or wife, then I meant to say I like the kickdrum too

I want a Valenti, but I need to find out what kind of taxes I pay for bringing it over the border. Does anybody have any idea what kind of percentage I'd be paying to bring a bass over the US/Canada border?

Your safe, she is just a fellow band member......but she does make it fun to play

im like a kid about to explode.. I want to show the little Valenti secret Nino and I have worked on but neither of us want this to seem like spam so your just going to have to wait.. hahahahaha unless Nino says otherwise..

I'm in the middle of finalizing specs on another Valenti right now. Hopefully in the next week or two we'll get everything figured out. At this point, I'm being kind of a pain in the butt and throwing out ideas of changing pickups/configuration around.

What I do know for sure, though, is that it'll have a spalted/flamed maple top, a swamp ash body, birdseye maple neck and board, black hardware, and an Aguilar OBP-1.

Ryan, you suck (but only because you have VERY similar tastes to myself... in both the Valentis you have ).

Sounds like a great bass. Can't wait to see it dude.

I ain't been teased like that since that time in middle school some chick told me..... n/m.

Unless you black out those white lines on the knobs, that really could be none more black.
