The Valenti Megathread Part IV

[IvanMike]

If you’re looking for virtuosity, keep scrolling, but even though I’m still getting the hang of my recording equipment, this gives a little bit of an idea of the nuances between them (there are 8 Valentis in the video, and yes I go to meetings)

Man what a beautiful collection.

Very cool. They are really different with the pick ups in the classic and modern positions aren’t they?

This one is specced perfectly. 35" scale, 19mm spacing, wider nut width (I forget exactly, 45mm or so?), 70's position Nordy Zenblades, Nordy 2b preamp, hipshot hardware. LOVE IT. Used it in a rehearsal the other weekend and it killed.

My Shoreline Gold Valenti (#245) is up for sale in the classifieds. If anyone has any questions, please reach out to me directly. Thanks!

Well, if you ever decide to do that, I happen to own a field… know what I mean jellybean?

Does anyone have any feedback or reviews for 33-inch-scale Valenti basses? If so, please drop me a private note... I'd love to swap notes with you. Thanks!

hi guys anyone knows the first owner of this Valenti #76 ?

 

[gruuv]

One of the TB OG's here, just recently getting back into the gigging game. Still have #100 - it was a custom order for someone else, and I was blessed by it not fitting his needs. This is exactly how'd have ordered one: alder body, maple board, Sadowsky pre, Nordstrand 70's wind pickups in 70's position... TONAL PERFECTION!

Now, if I could only find a fretless Valenti...

 

[SCT1422]

Great color..

 

[gruuv]

in! yay!
Played #46 today at a big outdoor show; love that bass!

Man I miss that one. Such a beautiful bass and with Nino’s attention to detail and quality. The color gets all the attention but the figuring on that fretboard is ridiculous.
Oh, and it plays and sounds amazing.
