Nice looking bass, but I find that a bit too steep. It will not sell at that price, there's bin loads of Celinder's either asking a crazy high price or buying Celinder for a fair price then trying to sell it for the double, the market price on a bass is what the basses are sold for and they go for very reasonable prices most of the Celinder*s that are actually sold. Do any one have any idea why this "gold mining" and secret buying prices is especially going on with Celinder basses ? Edited December 23, 2024 by potato bass Quote

Treb Posted December 23, 2024 Posted December 23, 2024 That's basic supply and demand at work. Currently supply is nil and likely to stay that way. I do know why that is, but let's not get into the sordid details. There's a snot green (beauty is in the eye of the beholder, eh) Celinder J over at the Bass Gallery in Camden with a similar asking price. I do know that Marcus tribute bass is probably not gonna sell at that price but I'm only prepared to fork out half of that. Besides my Marcus-tone quest has come to an end (for now) with the arrival of my Xotic XJ-1T in ash & maple... 2 Quote

I've always wondered about the status of whether or not there would be more Celinder basses made. Quote

There's still being Celinder's made, Cristian Celinder had a time moving he's workshop around, in that time no basses was produced but thats some years ago now, but to say if Celinder's ever again will be pumped out in a more steady manner as were in the past is hard to tell but, the man is active (all ways busy) so who knows ?
