  1. Chris sold me a fantastic bass in amazing condition and the whole transaction was superb. Professionally packed, updated with pictures throughout the whole process and Chris is always very easy to communicate with. I will use his pictures he sent me of packing the bass as a reference on how to ship a bass from now on :) Vielen Dank!

  2. Up for sale is an amazing playing & sounding Yamaha Attitude LTD III 

     

    Here are some links with lots of information on specs etc.:

    This particular bass was signed by Billy Sheehan himself in 2016 (if this is bothersome to you, I am sure it can be removed).  

    I got this bass in a trade for a boutique 5 string because I wanted to try out a nice P Bass. In a way its far from what I usually play; bright candy looking colour, p-style  etc. but oh boy does this bass play and sound well!! It feels like a broken in bass, with no dead spots and a very powerful, warm sound. You can run this in stereo as well and explore countless possibilities (EQ the pick ups differently, put effects on them and pan them etc.) . It also records really well and has many more sounds than the typical Sheehan Sound (Distortion + Mid Boost on the P-Pick Up) The Bass is in almost new condition, only it has a three marks that I captured in the photos (top of the headstock, and two on the side of the bass). It comes with the original case. Please no trades at this point, because my financial situation forces me to sell this one again (otherwise I would be keeping it for recording). The Bass is located in Germany but I can ship throughout Europe. If you have any questions, please pm me, thanks.

  3. Reluctantly up for sale:

     

    JPBasses Lucii 6 String Chambered Fretless 

     

    This is an original JPBasses 6 String that was made by Jean-Philippe Ferreira and his colleague from Paris, France in the early 2000s. JP and his friend built unique high end custom basses and his designs influenced many other young builders. Pete Skjold obtained the rights to his designs and still occasionally builds them under the name “Denoncourt Series” today. JP Ferreira has since moved on to design wooden houses, bikes etc. These basses have become very rare and are hard to find, especially in this condition. 

     

    Some Specs: 

     

    - JPBasses Lucii 6 String Fretless

    - Chambered White Limba Body with figured Koa top and back

    - 34 inch scale Wenge Neck with double action truss rod

    - Stabilized Black Palm Fingerboard covering more than two octaves (side dots) 

    - Hipshot Ultralight Hardware in chrome and 19mm spacing 

    - Kent Armstrong custom JP Pick Ups

    - Graphtec Piezos

    - John East 9V Pre Amp (Vol-Magnetic, Balance, Vol-Piezos, Lows, Highs, Active/Passive, Bright-mode Switch)

    - wooden (Koa) knobs and backplate cover

    The bass in very good condition and sounds amazing. Asking Price is 2100 Euros. 

    Unfortunately I just dont play enough 6 string fretless and I feel someone who does will be able to treasure this bass accordingly. Its one of the most beautiful pieces of wood and instrument craftsmanship I have seen (of course this is subjective) built by a passionate luthier. The Bass is located in Germany but can be shipped throughout Europe in a sturdy hardcase.

    If you have any questions, please pm me thanks.

  5. Thanks for the comments guys. This one isnt easy to let go, but I try to let the rational win over the emotional...after all you can only play one bass at a time, right? 9_9..or wait....

  6. Bogart Sport 5 Headless Bass

     

    - Made in 2016

    - Top Condition

    - Graphite Neck & Blackstone Body

    - Trussrod for neck adjustment

    - Rosewood Fingerboard

    - 34 inch Scale

    - 18mm Spacing

    - John East Preamp: Volume, Balance, Push Pull Active/Passive, Tone, Bass & Treble, Concentric Mids

    - Bartolini Pick Ups

    - Weight is about 3.5 Kilogramm

    - Price: 1400 Euros or 1235 GBP

    This is the best balancing bass I ever played, its very light and does not neck dive, hence the model name “Sport”. To really make it a fast machine, I put on Rotosound Funkmaster Strings (120 - 90 - 70 - 50 - 30 no problem with tension on a graphite neck) and I think it really compliments the bass well, it still sounds fat and bassy. Trades I could consider would be for a graphite necked six string bass, ideally headless. Bass is located in Germany, shipping through Europe is no problem.

  7. You mentioned Celinder in your initial post...about a year ago, someone was selling a Celinder Update 4 in my town. As these basses sort of have a mythical reputation I was curious and went ahead to test it, but I wasnt really in search of a new bass. After playing the first few notes I was...it wasnt set up very well, and the amp was a little markbass practice amp, but I could tell right away that this bass was something special. Two days later I stopped by and picked it up. I have played some amazing jazz basses old and boutique, owned some great ones as well (Atelier Z, Sadowsky etc.) but this Celinder is something else. I dont know if thats the case with all Celinders or maybe this one is just a lucky coincidence. Its hard to describe, but every note is just super alive, no deadspots, the E String sounds so much fuller and punchier than on any other bass. The neck feels amazing and the sound is like a mastered studio recording. I still have an Atelier Z 5 String that I play a lot and its also an incdredible bass with a great sound and action as low as you want, perfect workmanship etc....but the Celinder is still a step above...and I really dont believe in mojo and magic fairy dust...tested some bad pre cbs j-basses in the past and well known boutique brands that were nice but not that special besides good fretwork, fit and finish. So does Chris Celinder have a special secret? I dont know...this bass is made out of ash and maple, has singecoils and a jazz bass design. Not too uncommon in the bass world ;-)
