  1. I have been offered a few trade options, so I should probably submit a 'possible trade list'. I would really prefer a sale, but I would consider the following trades. Celinder J-Update fretless (5-string) Vintage Fenders (ca. '76 or older) Rob Allen Deep 5 (35" scale) Alleva Coppolo LM-5 or RA-5 Cheers! :-)
  2. [quote name='jonthebass' post='719399' date='Jan 20 2010, 07:25 PM']Hi Kim, Thanks for straightening me out on that. Like I said, no offence intended. Good luck with the sale and if I had £2,000 I'd probably be on a plane tomorrow to look at it! Kind regards, Jon[/quote] Hi Jon, You would be most welcome :-) Cheers
  3. I have owned lots of 5-string basses, and my conclusion so far is that 35" is highly recommended over 34" whenever there is more than 4 strings. The only 34" 5-string basses that I have owned that really had a tight, focused B-string AND a good feeling are Musicman Stingray 5's. I have owned three different ones over the years, and they all had great sounding and feeling B-strigs. However, the tight string spacing caused me to sell them again... Regarding 35" basses, I have owned: Celinders (J-Updates), Lakland (55-02), Mørch (custom built), Traben Sun, and a MTD (635-24). They all had great B-strings... Apart from the Stingray 5's, I have owned a few 34" 5-stringers: Fender Marcus Miller V, Atelier Z, and I have tried out a few Sadowskys as well. I know I risk being unpopular, but here goes... I didn't like any of them - mostly because they all had floppy B-strings and/or a less focused sounding B-strings... Just MHO :-)
  4. [quote name='jonthebass' post='718712' date='Jan 20 2010, 09:32 AM']Very nice- if it exists? I say this as there is no "boombass76" on Talkbass, it's a newbie listing it and a foreign seller to boot?? No offence intended BTW. I hope I'm wrong and it's genuine, but you have to be sceptical in these scamming times... Cheers, Jon[/quote] Hi Jon (and everyone else), I am sorry for the confusion. As can be seen above (lowdown's post) my ebay username is indeed Boombass76. On TalkBass my user name is Kimb76 (as my name is Kim Bang, and I am from 76 :-). Check my [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/member.php?u=121187"][color="#0000FF"]TB Profile here...[/color][/url] Also, please feel free to check my [url="http://mybass.dk/index_eng.htm"][color="#0000FF"]website[/color][/url], and learn all about who I am. I can assure everyone that this is NOT a scam. Cheers Kim
  5. 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. [url="http://www.fileden.com/files/2007/7/30/1308720/CelinderRHsound.mp3"][color="#8B0000"][b]CLICK HERE TO LISTEN![/b][/color][/url] [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

  7. Hi, I am new to this forum, but I have been active on TalkBass for some time, and I see quite a few familiar names here :-) I am currently selling my rather rare Celinder Custom 5 string bass. Mainly because I have recently bought a Celinder Update (from Ari, who is also around in here) I am selling it for $4500 shipped to the US on TB for a short period before enlisting it on the UK eBay site. When I do that I will probably start bidding at £2400 + £60 shipping. But before I get to that I will also give you guys a chance to get ahold of this great bass. Since I can save the enlisting fee and PayPals exchange rate fee, I will offer any intereted UK bass players this bass for just £2200 shipped to the UK. Please get the details and see all pics at TB: [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=472493"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=472493[/url] Interested? Just shoot me a PM :-) Cheers to you all
