The Valenti Megathread Part III

[BuffaloBass]

What's the turnaoround time? Not that you want to rush anything!

 

[Gomeztool]

4 to 5 mos at present.

I guess this is a very common tale now but Nino's been great with the back and forths over speccing my order.

Gomez is spot on.

Mine will be 5-6 months..due to a few blocks and bindings.
I now have plenty of time to read and re-read the Valenti Megathread's. Thanks again Nino.

There are currently some niiice basses in stock, with no wait.

#46 isn't one of them, that's mine

I played #023 at church and got a lot of good feedback from the congregation. I usually get 1 or 2 complimets but tonight I got several. Last week I played with my Fender American and they liked the way it looked but they loved the looks and especially the tone of Valenti #023. I thought about parting from it but once in the live situation... really voiced out some sweet tones
I am in love with that bass once again
Thanks Nino

blocks.. wow!! they are worth the wait.. I got blocks on #018, #023 and #096 and love them
my only Valenti without blocks is gone these guys sound way better and cover that one's tones really well.

 

[grayta]

Blocks rule!

 

[Nino Valenti]

It looks great with the tort p/g.

 

[P. Bass]

Hey guys,

I just unpacked the bass, and this thing is awesome! Of course all I have right now is a cell phone pic, but my roommate has a nice camera so I'll have him snap a couple shots when he gets home. I'll also throw some sound clips together once I figure out how to play on roundwounds again!

Kudos to Nino and to the seller, Snaxster.

Hey,
Just wondering how you're makin' out w/the new to you '50's P5. Would love to see & hear it as you PROMISED.
Thanks bro.

Ditto.

Damn that featured bass on Nino's page #104, OMG that is gorgeous, my next one from NINO will be a FIVER for sure....No more fours for me, although my Vintage #101 sounds killer, even my bass teacher fell in love with it after playing it...by the way Nino he told me to tell you that you now have another fan.

 

[Mendry37]

Blocks rule!

Tort AND Blocks rule! Killer bass Tim.
Thanks for helping me out as well.

Here are the specs.

VMJ 5 1/4" edge radius
Lightweight ash body. Black finish. Black Pickguard.
Maple Neck, Maple fingerboard. No face dots. 34" scale. 1-7/8" string nut width. 19mm string spacing.

I am stoked about having a jazz bass in the arsenal again. Kinda wanted to get most stripped down and simple bass possible to contrast my custom CB's.

dude!! I have thought about selling this bass due to finances but every time I am saying goodbye to it and I play it at church "for the last time" and I am on the 4th or 5th of thiose... the tone is awesome and because of the P/J configuration is super versatile!!

Thanks Chef for changing the Preamp for the Nordy with VTC...
I have babied this and my other Valentis and have not added any more nicks or dents to it.
