Mikkel-S Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) GONE. For various reasons I have now decided to put this very special Celinder J4 up for sale / trade. It is one of Christian Celinders finest specimens (IMO) and have been taking care of extremely well. The bass is in immaculate condition. The first 10 years of its life it was a part of a high end instrument collection and therefore have seen very little use. The bass sounds and plays absolutely phenomenal. Capable of super low action with loads of "mwah". The onboard two band green grove preamp offers plenty of tonal variation. Specs: Alder body Extremely figured birdseye maple neck Brazilian Rosewood board with epoxy coat. Celinder pickups (don't know if they we're Kent Armstrong or not.. i'll ask). Weight around 4kg. Price: 3150Euro / 2500GBP Shipped. Tradewise: F-bass, Celinder J-Update, Alleva, Fodera,.. etc.. Try me. I have what i need in Fender P's... Maybe an old Jazz or a good pre-EB Stingray? +/- cash accordingly. And the ONLY scratch on the bass: [url="https://www.dropbox.com/s/sqtwowhn8lbqwgw/IMG_4454.jpg"]https://www.dropbox....gw/IMG_4454.jpg[/url] [url="https://www.dropbox.com/s/t29jfgjd6wffxux/IMG_4456.jpg"]https://www.dropbox....ux/IMG_4456.jpg[/url] [url="https://www.dropbox.com/s/pxht1l98z1te76w/IMG_4461.jpg"]https://www.dropbox....6w/IMG_4461.jpg[/url] [url="https://www.dropbox.com/s/kffd14nrzffm6jl/IMG_4484.jpg"]https://www.dropbox....jl/IMG_4484.jpg[/url] Edited September 8, 2014 by Mikkel-S
Mikkel-S Posted July 25, 2014 Author Posted July 25, 2014 Thanks mate. Will supply pictures of The full bass and details. It has light weight tuning gears vintage style with aluminium pegs. How cool is that!
Mikkel-S Posted July 27, 2014 Author Posted July 27, 2014 Updated with better pictures.. Sorry if i missed anything. If you want a particular shot please let me know.
molan Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 Would it be possible to get an accurate weight please? I've never seen a Celinder much under 4.5KG and that extra .5KG can make quite a big difference on a strap
Mikkel-S Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 I will get it on the kitchen scale tomorrow.
johnbiffa Posted July 31, 2014 Posted July 31, 2014 That is a stunning Celinder, Good luck, if only I had need of a fretless !
Mikkel-S Posted August 1, 2014 Author Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Molan, my kitchen scale says 4.25kg's. And yeah John, I think so myself as well.. However its not getting the attention it deserves because of this one: Its very different compared to the Jazz but it fits my style of playing better. Edited August 1, 2014 by Mikkel-S
johnbiffa Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Nice................Celinder's are, in my opinion, the finest basses
johnbiffa Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Do I really need a fretless bump for a stunning bass
johnbiffa Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 I dont suppose you play guitar as week, I have an immaculate Gibson SG Standard tribute in Pelham Blue and some serious cash to add?
Mikkel-S Posted August 13, 2014 Author Posted August 13, 2014 I am afraid that I cannot find any use for a guitar ... Sorry mate.
johnbiffa Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Will look to sell my SG then ! Watch this space !!!! This bass should have been snapped up long ago
fingerz Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Stunning bass. If i wanted a fretless Jazz this would be it. BTW the pickups do indeed look like the Armstrong humbuckers, which work v well with the Celinder pre to get that single coil tone. Amazing. Good luck with the sale!
Mikkel-S Posted August 13, 2014 Author Posted August 13, 2014 Thanks man.. Its also with mixed feelings that it is for sale.. All my fretless stuff I got covered with the Piezo Celinder.. And when i need the Jazz sound I got this:
johnbiffa Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Very similar to mine with the traditional vol, vol tone passive controls, I hadn't seen one like mine before, what model is it classed as? Mine is more of a Lake Placid blue metallic, never had the neck off so not sure how old.
Mikkel-S Posted August 13, 2014 Author Posted August 13, 2014 Mine is a J Classic 4 from 2004. Amazing bass.
