SpinalTap Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) [b]Celinder J Vintage fretless 5. Very hard to find bass, in a fantastic conditio[/b]n. Bought this one early this year, and it is a stunning instrument. Sound and looks. But I just don't like 5 strings anymore (I knew this could be an issue, when I bought it), so I decided to let this go. Specs: * 5 string Celinder J Vintage fretles * like new! Only some normal wear in the coating of the fretboard * Original as it left Chris Celinders workshop in 2007 * Custom burgundy finish * maple neck, coated brazillian rosewood fretboard, Alder body * Normal weight for a Celinder Vintage. It's not as light as a Sadowsky, but also not as heavy as the Update model can be * Celinder custom pickups, Aguilar 3 band pre-amp, with passive/active push/pull * Comes with the original Hiscox case. A fair price for such a rare instrument in this condition. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Pickup and try-out from Amsterdam, meeting at the Dutch border, or worldwide shipping are no problem. I bought and sold a lot the last 10 years, without any problems. Thanks for looking!

SpinalTap Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Thanks Pierre! It is indeed very, very nice. If this was a 4 string, this would stay with me. As for now, this is On Hold until wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danj Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 It deserves to be. Definitely on my wish list - the AC5 snuck in first! Beauty of a bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinalTap Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 Thanks! The AC5 + cash is an option! The Celinder is available again. The buyer couldn't find the funds in the next couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkle Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Free bump for this bass and a great seller. I corresponded with Rory about buying it and he was kind enough to send me all the neck measurements etc. It was really helpful, as I now know that I would not get on with this neck - that's the only reason I'm now immune to its awesome colour and looks. This bass caused me a sleepless night, but I can now rest easy. Someone is going to love this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinalTap Posted May 8, 2014 Author Share Posted May 8, 2014 Thanks, Funkie! Could have been a great combo with your shoreline gold J Classic 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkle Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 [quote name='SpinalTap' timestamp='1399567645' post='2445463'] Thanks, Funkie! Could have been a great combo with your shoreline gold J Classic 4. [/quote] It definitely would have been. But the neck is just a bit too wide side-to-side for my tastes, and getting a luthier to shave down the neck would have been a desecration of the instrument.That plus 19mm spacing doesn't work for me on a 5er either, I have learned. Superb bass, though! I don't think it will stick around here for long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
