Hi,
I am considering selling one of my great Celinder basses. This one is actually quite rare as it is one of just six ever made. It sounds great, and it is in a fine condition. Not mint, but definitely not abused neither. There are the usual dings here and there, but nothing unusual for a bass that have seen good use I am selling it because I also have a 5-string Celinder (J-Update), which gets most of my attention these days, so this one is just sitting in the corner... It needs to get played!!!
Essentially, it is a jazz bass with single coils in 60's position, but it has a nice and slighty more chunky Precision maple neck with reverse headstock. The idea is that the E-string can be straight for much longer than with a standard headstock, and that deifnitely gives the low notes an outstanding clarity and definition! So, I guess the perfect match would be someone who primarily plays P-basses, but would like to have the funky J-sound in the tonal arsenal as well, but without loosing the feeling of a nice and chunky P-neck!
The finish is white blonde (semi-transparent), and even though it is a passive bass, it has a huge punch and plays just as loud as any active bass I have ever owned!
It weighs 4860 g which equals 10.7 lbs. However, both the body and neck are pretty heavym, so the weight is actually very well balanced.
I don't have a sell/buy history in here, but I am active on ebay and TalkBass with 100% positive feedback (check my ebay username: [url="http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&userid=boombass76&ftab=AllFeedback"][color="#0000FF"]boombass76[/color][/url], and my [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/member.php?u=121187"][color="#0000FF"]TalkBass Profile[/color][/url]). Also, please feel free to visit my personal [url="http://mybass.dk/index_eng.htm"][color="#0000FF"]website[/color][/url] to learn more about me :-)
I am not sure exactly what to ask for this bass. The Bass Gallery has some used Celinders for £4-5000, which I think is just crazy... I think Celinder basses are great and probably worth somewhere around the £2300 mark, but I am open to offers, so please just take contact if you are interested. [b]£ 1,850 PLUS SHIPPING.[/b]
Well, sound probably describes it better, so I have tossed together a quick sound sample of this bass.

[b]ABOUT SHIPPING[/b]
I will ship from Denmark, and I'll throw in a Warwick hard shell case for protection during transit, but one of the latches has fallen off, so it is not a case that represents any real value when gigging, but it is sturdy, and I will wrap up the bass in bubble wrap inside the hard case, and then put the hard case inside a solid cardboard box. I have sent (and received) many basses packed this way, and it has always worked out beautifully In order to get an exact shipping quote, I will need a precise delivery address. A quick estimate is around £70 uninsured with the national postal service, and around £120 insured with UPS Standard.
And then a bunch of pics, of course
