[quote name='pierreganseman' timestamp='1330618809' post='1560516'] Rainer has a SICK collection.... [/quote] How do I get a hold of Rainer? or maybe he has seen the thread already

[quote name='wombatboter' timestamp='1330618765' post='1560515'] There is a notorious bassplayer over there who has a great Fodera-collection :-) [/quote] Ahh, I see

[quote name='k-sad' timestamp='1330591121' post='1559740'] Man i saw this one yesterday in the "Newborns" and was like "hmmmmmmmmmm" even if i'd prefer a "more green/blue" kind of buckeye if u'd ask me Portraitoftracy is a well known Talkbass user, i guess if u want this kind of bass don't miss out on this one (my guess would be this bass is going straight to Germany ^^) [/quote] Why Germany?

Here is the deal, this bass is currently in route to me directly from Fodera, I receive the bass this Saturday. It is brand new just completed this month. Selling because I don't think I can afford to keep her and I don't even want to unpack the bass once I get it since I know I will fall in love with her. The only thing different than the pictures on Fodera's site is that I had them change the hardware to black to contrast the burl top. I can even provide tracking information and emails from Fodera to show that this bass is on it's way to me directly from the shop. The weight is 10.1 pounds, actually light compared to most Fodera's. Priced at about 1,000 euros less than it would cost new, and it is new. [url="http://www.fodera.com/Main/NewBornDetails.aspx?FeaturedItemID=347"]http://www.fodera.co...turedItemID=347[/url] $6995 euros plus shipping (roughly $150 euros) Yes, I am in the United States, yes I have sent basses to Europe before and can provide references.

[quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1329597235' post='1544798'] Is that Ari's old Celinder J? Looks amazing, I've have it in a heartbeat and probably sell my other two if I had the disposable. Good luck with the sale! [/quote] Not my old bass, never had a Celinder 5er in natural, I've probably had about 10 Celinders in my day, but not this one, might consider buying it though if it were a little cheaper.

not for sale

Bass is no longer for sale, I have decided to keep her.

[quote name='bubinga5' post='1114218' date='Feb 3 2011, 10:51 AM']i dont care about the fuss..this is an awsome bass[/quote] What fuss? Actually leaning towards keeping this bass, everytime I play her she is tough to put down.

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1048085' date='Dec 5 2010, 04:26 AM']Plus to the one in every respect.[/quote] Maybe this will help people move on Facts from the seller: I posted this bass for sale for more than I paid for it. Unfortunately my ad did not discuss condition, however the link to over 12 high resolution pictures show condition and of course my ad description would have been updated when reminded or asked The weight of the bass according to my digital scale is 10 pounds even, the talkbass ad had her at 10.2 I have over 50 possitive feedback on talkbass and ebay without one single negative mark I offer a 48 hour approval period on all my sale transactions minus shipping charges whenever I sale a bass, I don't stick buyers with basses I am a PhD student in music that has occasionally made a little money on selling a bass for more than I paid, but I have lost money on my bass addiction more than made out. I think if your forum doesn't want people to sell basses for more than what they paid for them you are going to hire a lot more policing staff, regardless of the time between purchase and sale. If I had bought a 66 P bass for $800 at a garage sale and posted it for $3000 here when you recommend that dude that missed it at the garage sale mention so in my thread. If my price was unfair no one would buy the bass, and if you didn't want to buy something someone had paid less for, well than a lot of you wouldn't have bought the house you live in. Regardless, I think my username has been beaten up enough on this thread where I am probably not wanted or can't be trusted. Sorry for the intrusion chaps. Peace and Happy Holidays, I wish I lived in Europe!

I am a legit seller who joined your forum many months ago and have made purchases from sellers in Europe. I posted the bass for a price where it would make me consider selling the instrument, that is all. If you look at my feedback on talkbass and ebay you will see. I am not a wheeler and dealer, I am a PhD. student in music who loves instruments, especially Celinders. Sorry you guys have got excited about my post, it seems to be more the case of someone getting upset that he didn't get the deal I got. My posted price was a fair price especially considering the recently sold Celinders are this site. Cheers and happy holidays. The Gold Celinder shipped yesterday to its new owner, I was able to trade her for my old Celinder four string I always regretted selling, luckily the owner wanted a five string.

[quote name='Ou7shined' post='1046795' date='Dec 3 2010, 01:44 PM']And no mention in your ad of the dings. Shame on you.[/quote] No worries boys, I'm keeping her anyhow. She is to sweet and I sold my other Celinder. If you can't see the dings in the high res photos you must be blind. Cheers

Word up!

Thanks for the kind words, I go back and forth on getting rid of this one. Really hoping to find the right Celinder 4 to replace her. I have TONS of feedback on talkbass and ebay, also plenty of references, even some in Europe for prospective buyers. The action on this bass is absolutely perfect, nice and low with no buzz what so ever. Truss rod works perfectly, which sometimes can be an issue with Celinders.

The third (middle pickup) comes in handy when using the bridge pickup soloed, kind of fattens up the tone and brings a little more bass. The middle pickup by itself has a great tone as well, tough to describe, maybe a little musicman like. The two outer pickups on is classic 70's Marcus funk like most updates. I would possibly entertain a trade for the right Celinder 4 string, I love this bass but really only play four strings.
