eubassix Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) Celinder Custom 6 :- Mahogany Body Koa Top w/matching Headstock veneer, rear and trussrod covers. Maple + Purpleheart Neck with Ebony Board 36" scale (but very comfortable - also contributes to the crisp, clean tone and well-defined 'B'. Tone is described as a previous owner as 'somewhere between and Smith and an Alembic' .. which can't be bad) Nut: 2.125"; f24: 3.25" String-spacings: 9mm (nut); 16.5mm (f24); 19mm (bridge). Weighs 11lbs. Glockenklang 3 band preamp (The original Greengrove preamp was, apparently, damaged and replaced with Aguilar, then later by the current GlockenKlang). The G-Klang Circuit diagram is included: it's one aspect of the bass which, IMHO, could be improved. There is Vol., Pan, Mid(s) and stacked Bass/Treble .. But the circuit doesn't work as clearly as I would have expected [been playing it with Bass on max, a little treble and about 55% Mids - the mid section is very powerful. Finding that with the SC's switched-in the volume is quieter in the centre position, like the old SC circuits; with HB's switched-in, the volume is quietest in the centre and gradually boosts when a single pickup is selected] Celinder (Kent Armstrong) radiused dual coil pickups (coil tap with small Fodera coil tap switch) Black hardware - original Bridge Near mint (a small nick at the headstock and upper horn) / all original other than the EQ and Bridge. Excellent build quality (as always), exceptional playability and a pretty rare find - there don't seem to be many Celinder 6's about . This is not the 'Aura' model; it is a Custom 6. TKL hardcase. This came to me via a recent (International) trade and, as I'm not much of a 6-string player and don't have the time to dedicate in progressing with this bass, is now offered for sale. I do have more photos (PM with email if required).

Brusen Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Arh, again my old bass for sale All I can say is: HUGE bass and HUGE tone. I was the 2. owner of this bass. You're right, not many 6 string Celinders around. Chris told his most popular model is the J update 5. /R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpinalTap Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Great price! Don't forget that there are only a few hundred Celinders made. Very rare, especially if you compare these numbers with orther boutique builders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
