The Valenti Megathread

[Jay Terrien]

Do you think that you'll have maybe, ONE, 24 fret 5 string bass (34") at someone's booth at NAMM 2008, January? Fingers crossed......

What preamp do you want? Maybe I can get it.

 

[Nino Valenti]

Hey Jay. I don't think I'm going to have any basses at NAMM.

#008 and a couple of other 5 string basses I build using Warmoth parts had the 24 fret extension. It was only available on 5 string basses.

Currently, I'm working on a 24 fret 4 string and 5 string that has an extended cutaway for easier access to the upper frets. The 5 string will be available in 34" and 35" scale.

I can accept orders for a 24 fret 5 now.

Thanks, I'll shoot you a email.

Hey Nino! Just wondering if there are any new pics of basses that you're working on?

[Nino Valenti]

Nothing at the moment.

Hey Nino
you should really update the features/options page of your website...
Is there an upcharge if one goes for a 24 fret instrument?
Thanks

I emailed Nino with the same question and was told that the 24 fret model cost the same as an equivalent 21 fret.

Can anybody compare the necks on the newer valentis to the necks on the nordys. Anybody have expierence with both of these instruments?

 

[Willem]

a little bump and a question!
What kind of nut do you use?

No, no one can compare them because I have not yet completed any basses with my new neck/body supplier. I should have a bunch of customer basses banged out by the end of January.

Bone.

Bone.

His own, even!

That is correct.

 

[Vic]

Yeah, you did know that his middle name was Adam, right?

 

[Chef]

I heard he was using the bones of former drummers.

 

[Altitude]

I heard he was using the bones of former drummers.

Nah, he was only ribbing us when he said that.

Fingers crossed over here!

*groan!*

#42 is in the for sale pages. It was here in Buffalo. If it was a 35" ( which I've decided I prefer ergonomically ), I'd be on it like a cheap suit. Even though green aint my thing.

( well there is a green beret in mothballs in my closet!)
