Beautiful and unique bass. I love way Celinder builds and designs. By the way, a 2017 bass - I am encouraged to see he is still producing instruments to some capacity.

Good luck with the sale.

I would consider offers if that helps, please get in touch. This is a solid 5 string, I'm sure whoever buys it will be really happy. Cheers.

Jo is such a killer player, you guys have no idea! Any bass he’s been playing is going to be quality, and well taken-care-of!

Your cheque's in the post...

I bought a really great Atelier Z bass from Pat. It was an overseas sale, something which I'm very wary to do with an instrument (to not try it first). Anyway, Pat's candid and knowledgeable nature allowed me to really feel sure that the bass was worth going for, he even sent recordings which were really well played/recorded and allowed me to hear all aspects of the bass. Postage and all the usual info was kept up to date as we went along, and the bass is FANTASTIC. A real pro player guy.

Highly recommend Pat to anyone looking to trade with him. 

Thanks again mate. Jo

PM's replied to. I'm sorry I really just need a straight sale, no trades on this one. Happy to respond to any email enquiries/questions.

Thanks!

I got myself one of these last year and I'm so pleased with it. I'm typically just a fender player, and was surprised how comfortable and familiar I found these basses to be. Good luck with the sale.

Thank you

Fantastic basses. Same pickups and preamp as the USA Laklands. Hanson/LH3. With probably the best 5 string necks ever. GLWTS. 

Thanks Bubinga5

I agree. My Celinder 5 had the best neck I've ever player on a 5 string, and this particular 5502 struck a chord. Action is so low it gets that 'zing' with no problems. Really versatile too, I used that MM pup on one song on a recent tour and it really growled in the mix although it's not my thing solo'd.

I'll withdraw if my new bass doesn't come up to the high standard this and previous basses have set. Thanks for the feedback, good to know I'm not alone!

Up for sale my fantastic Lakland Skyline 55-02 5 string.

I bought this bass as a limp-along whilst I sold my old Celinder 5er and looked for another 5 string when the time was right (I was playing mainly 4 string at the time). I stumbled across this and it allowed me to free up some equity, now it's time to move it on. This is simply the best 5 string I've ever owned, it's just not quite my sound, but it's been a joy to own and dead reliable. The previous owner played it a lot (probably why it's so nice), so the neck has some staining which should clean up. However, it's in great condition, and free from any issues. 

Fretwork is great, neck is great, action is slammed and plays perfectly. String to string balance is sublime, the notes are still really full up top, B and E string are taught and resonant. It has the Lakland Pre and pickups, with mid freq selector switches and a master gain inside the cavity, push/pull active/passive, 3 band EQ, Master Vol, Pickup Pan. The switch is for the MM pup and lets you choose humbucker, rear or front magnets. I always used it as a 70's style Jazz, with the rear single magnet, and it really does this well. The neck pickup really sounds like a P bass too.

Year: 2008

Manufactured: Korea

Body: Ash 3TS

Neck: Maple

Fingerboard: Maple

String spacing: 19mm

Nut width: 44mm

Preamp: Lakland 3 band, 9v

Pups: Lakland

Weight: 10.4lbs

Other: Dunlop strap buttons, strung with D'Addario Nickel 45-125

Happy to supply a basic gig bag if needed.

Ideally sell without posting but open to discussion if essential. I travel so I'm sure we could work something out for any UK buyers.

I'm NOT interested in trades, sorry. If you have any questions or anything I've missed, please just ask. Thanks!

Beautiful bass. You are an incredible player!

Looks quite J style, sounds very Fodera esque.

Good luck with the sale!

Is that Flanker's old bass?

Yes I believe it is. I'm pretty sure it's the only one like it, and also believe it was in Paul Turner's hands for a short while, if only for a loan... Birdy on here will know more about that. best of luck with the sale.

Nice - I've owned a few Celinder 5's. Looks like a beauty, unusual to have the face of the fingerboard unadorned (assume because it started life as a fretless).

If you were closer I'd check out this bass, it's rarer to see these in this format (Assume Alder body, Rosewood Board and 60's spacing), but I live on my trusty jazz bass again these days so probably for the best. Defo worth checking out if you're in the market for a great 5 string. Best of luck with the sale!

How are you players getting on with these basses over time? Do you find the 5 strings to retain the tone we all hear and love often on the four strings, and what are the necks like compared to say Celinder, or other builders who nail that 70's vibe ?

Now sold thanks for the interest 

Bump!

Looked like it was sold to an overseas buyer but that's fallen through, so a BUMP for still being available. Any questions welcome. Cheers!
