Bump

Think I've been a bit ambitious with the pricing on this. Now £4000, no offers

[quote name='BassBurns' timestamp='1377713932' post='2190778'] Thanks for the interest, but the originals are a bit too much like hard work for me! [/quote] Wimp

Would a set of Original Flexocors interest you for the Belcantos?

Cheers Geoff, hope all's well with you. Just got this back & Laurence has done a great job with it. It's had the front & back off, with every single crack patched up from the inside, a new brace on the back (one of the originals had split) & the neck join has been redone and strengthened. It's now in great structural condition & should be good for years to come. It sounds good too if a bit tight at the mo. There's a lot of new wood in there, I'll be blasting it as loud as I can for the coming weeks & the sound will open up again in no time. It's currently strung with Spiros but I might stick on a set of Evahs. That's definitely the string for that bass.

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]A typical German[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] Mittenwald shop bass from c1880. 7/8 size with a 105cm stop. It started life as a blockless but has since had a really nice blocked neck made by Mike Hart and retains the original scroll. It's a great chamber music and jazz bass, projects well and is very consistent string to string. I've owned it for about 4 years and it has seen regular professional use during that time. The bass has been with Laurence Dixon for the past few months undergoing a full restoration so will be in tip top condition when I get it back this week. Detailed pics will be up soon.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I'm based in Catford, SE London for viewing and the bass is priced at £4000. No trades unless you have a good modern bass of similar playing qualities. [/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] [/font][/color] [attachment=142373:IMGP2938.JPG]

Hey Greg, just curious, how's this compare to the Dyn-b?

Now withdrawn from sale. It's amazing what a new cab will do for your sound!

Back from hols bump

Go on Nick! I know you need another instrument to replace your Bryant

Last bump before I'm off on holiday for a couple of weeks

Clarky! Stop tempting me!

Cheers Jo, it'll definitely be missed

This is a great little bass. I'd buy it but unfortunately the taxman has taken all my money and then some

Hi Clarky, how does this sound with the Acoustic Image heads, upright & electric? Quite tempted...

[quote name='lowregisterhead' timestamp='1358617018' post='1942320'] Fantastic bass - I'm not given to hyperbole, but Chris Celinder makes amazing instruments. I've owned many 'high-end' basses over the years, Wal, Sadowsky, Sei, USA Lakland, Status, GB, Fender Custom Shop etc., but there's something indefinable about Celinders that sets them apart - if a bass can have a soul, these have one that is more alive than any other. Without exaggeration, the best jazz bass I've ever played. Suffice to say I own one of these. [/quote] Cheers Low, will be sad to see it go. It's definitely very alive sounding, really resonant. The preamp has a few boost switches inside & while engaged, it can do that classic Marcus Miller style active jazz sound. With the switches off & the passive tone rolled back a bit, it sounds like a good beefy vintage jazz. Awesome bass.

A real beast of a bass. I absolutely love playing it but I definitely feel more at home with a good precision bass instead. This one's been owned by a few basschatters before. I bought it from Fingerz about a year ago & before that it was owned by Flanker. Here's Jo's original sale thread with the pics [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/168508-celinder-j-update-5-string-sold/page__p__1557914__hl__fingerz%20celinder__fromsearch__1#entry1557914"]http://basschat.co.u..._1#entry1557914[/url] I wouldn't mind if this didn't go but for now a trade with a Celinder precision 5 would be ideal. I know it's a bit of a long shot but fingers crossed. Not really interested in anything thing else at this time. As a straight sale it's £2200 firm. Not keen on posting this bass but potential buyers are welcome to try it out at my home in London SE6. All the best, Chris

Interested in the E & A, but what size are they?
