The Valenti Megathread Part IV

[madbassplaya]

Eventually. I'm working on a few things and hats are one of them.

What about soccer jersey's? Or hockey. Haha

 

[lowendmafia]

Oh man... I should be joining this club soon!! Can't wait!

Congrats on all the new members and new soon-to-be members. I must say this, though. Ever since I got Valenti #085 back I have found the tone I've been looking for for a long time. Replacing the EMG 40J neck pickup with an EMG 40P pickup seems to have added a little more punch and aggressiveness to this bass. The slap tone is PERFECT and it really sets this bass on fire when it comes to cutting through the mix. This bass will never leave my hands again!

Back where she belongs...

Big thanks to:

Nino: for building such a fine bass!
Vintage Guy: for selling her back to me!
FedEx: for safely returning her.

 

[madbassplaya]

I will also say this; if you own a Valenti, you own something special.

 

[madbassplaya]

Thinking about ordering my 2nd Valenti...

Should I go with similar specs or something completely different?

Glad you got it back, it's made just for you.

 

[lowendmafia]

Wait... you sold it and then bought it back? You know how many times I wish I could have done that... haha, congrats dude. I love that bass.

Yes sir. Was lucky the buyer was willing to sell it back!

It sounds and plays great!

That sounds sexy! I always like when pick guards match the blocks.
