Wow, for a new bass you either 1. played the crap out of it, or 2. have cheap paint on it. That must have been one heck of a show.

Hello my fellow Valentites!!!!

It's official, while I wait for my Callowhill Junk to be completed I have purchased a Valenti. I feel very lucky and honored to have the world famous #80 on it's way to me thanks to Ryan.L. Ryan is a great guy to deal with and very honest and upfront. I look toward to sharing a semi-pro photoshoot when she arrives.

Play these basses in good health

Don't know if this is the appropriate place for it, but I found a video on YouTube of me playing my Valenti with Boulder-based ensemble "The Motet" a couple weeks ago. Enjoy!

 

[Phillip Jordan]

Sounds great. Nice post.

 

[smakbass]

Great tone.

Yep, great tone and nice groove. I especially like all the percussion going on too.

Sounds great, great live mix! BTW, I love your band, I've had your 'Instrumental Dissent" album since it came out.

 

[LM Bass]

Sounds awesome, nice groove and fills, great tone. Thanks!

 

[Chef]

God bless a band with a smokin' horn section!

What's that bass loaded with?

 

[Phillip Jordan]

Yes we need specs.

Sweet! I wish I could take credit for the incredible bass playing on that, but that is Garrett Sayers on that album.

What's that bass loaded with?

Nordstrand NP5 in reverse P position(heard exclusively on this video)
Nordstrand NJ5S bridge PU
Sadowsky pre with VTC

This bass actually is routed for P,Reverse P, or Jazz in the neck position, though I have only briefly had it out of the Reverse P setup...

that sir, is what you call top notch service for a custom bass.

Ooh! I saw that on the Valenti site, he gae you three pickuard as well, IIRC.

Also looks just about big enough for a MM humbucker too...

 

[Phillip Jordan]

Nice. Would you have to re-solder or is do the pickups have a quick disconnect feature?

 

[pmcd]

Yes, it has a quick connect plug system for switching out the PU's. No soldering. You don't even have to take the strings all the way off to make the switch.

 

[Phillip Jordan]

great stuff. Did this fester from your mind or Nino's?
