Nino Valenti

If shipping weren't so damned expensive, I'd buy it back at this price...

The bass can be modified to be used with a passive tone control. The bass and treble can be put on one stacked pot and a passive tone with a push/pull for preamp bypass can be added.

I remember this bass. Sadowsky Builder Rob LoPrinzi (dragonbass on TalkBass) bought it from (I believe) the original owner.

From what I remember it's a really nice playing bass.

[quote name='planethead' post='232749' date='Jul 4 2008, 10:29 AM']I posed the question a while back Sadowsky v Valenti - look I got to find out. The wooden floor is Nino Valenti's... the duvet's mine....[/quote]Nice pair you got there!!!!

Nice bass. I played a couple of these basses at a TalkBass Get Together and they're sweet.

The Big Singles are my favorite Nordstrand pickups. I've been meaning to change the EMG's out of the Black Valenti for a set of big Singles but I've been busy building basses for others.

I had them in this bass (man I regret selling this bass) and, IMO, it was everything a single coil J pickup is but more greatness.....

Nice bass. It's gonna look killer with the T-Blue Body.

The Tort p/g looks SOOO much better than the White p/g.

Nice couple you have there!!!!

People don't realize that these are available and pay more because they don't know any better.

[quote name='Crazykiwi' post='212829' date='Jun 4 2008, 06:08 PM']Ah Nino, welcome. What took you so long? [/quote]Taste_2000 told me about this place a while back and I looked around but never got a chance to sign up. Better late then never.

Wow. They are going to sell a ton of these basses!!!! They look nice but they should offer it in more colors than Black and Burst.

Hello my fellow bass playing brothers in the UK!!!!! I just completed a bass for fellow member, PlanetHead, so I figured I'll come over and see what's going on here. BTW, here is PlanetHead's bass:




Well, I play Valenti Basses (obviously ), Sadowsky basses, Fender Geddy Lee bass, Aguilar cabs with a Fender BassMan 400 head, Fender BassMan 400 Combo.
