The Valenti Megathread Part IV

[danclaro]

I like how that bass looks black in certain light, but once you really look you see that it sparkles! and it's green, of course.

This thread needs more pics, Chef!

Amazing top.

I've never had a reverse P; so, I dont know what that's about.
I think string spacing is 18?

I'm pretty sure this is 19mm. Looking at my original order form, it's not on there but the neck heel/pocket is 3", which i use with 19mm 5's. 2-7/8" heels/pockets get 18mm.

This bass is for bassist Brandon Rebold who recently had his original Valenti 5 string stolen.

That blows! I hope they catch they slime ball that stole it. I'll have to check the specs on that one when it gets posted to your site. Gotta have one!

One big bonus from buying a bass from a builder like Nino vs. Fender or other big name? The douchebag that stole the bass will likely find it impossible to move. Good luck not getting busted. Ha!

I'm starting to get antsy! Can't wait to get my bass!!

Sucked big time when my Valenti #149 got stolen last October! It's great to have another one in the arsenal! It's a beauty and plays/sounds incredible!! Thanks Nino!

Congrats, man! That is truly a sublime instrument!

Hey, that's sweet Brandon!

 

[BrandonBass86]

Thanks y'all! Incredible work of art like everything Nino creates. Loving it more and more every time I pick it up!

Beautiful bass! Nino: you outdid yourself!

VERY curious about the Aguilar pickups. Which ones are they ('60's wind, '70's wind, HC) and how do they sound?

Hoping to send Nino a deposit over the weekend or Monday. Looking forward to getting my weird whiteburst 5er going!

I have one on order now but already have a couple more I'd like to get.. One would be a 5 string version of the Fender 57 P reissue.

Identical except I'd want 5 strings and 35" scale.

The other is an exact copy of this bass:

Valenti #028. I got to review this bass years ago and wanted so badly to keep it.

 

[Baird6869]

The #28 looks great. Amazing top!

I sent Nino my deposit today and am really looking forward to getting a Valenti. I looked seriously at Nordy, Sadowsky, MBasses and a few others but Nino was able to accommodate my weird specs without any issues. I have owned enough basses over the years to know exactly what neck profile, spacing, scale, etc. I want and Nino was cool with every one of my requests. And at a price that was very reasonable.

Here is the likely final spec..... I think it will be a very unique and killer bass!
