If it does not go, I will either keep it or sell it locally (in Paris). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm selling reluctantly this beautiful Celinder Marcus miller tribute 4 strings bass. (it's a first hand). I've been the only owner of this bass. It's real mint condition. I traded the stock Celinder preamp and pickups for Lindy Fralin overwound +5% plus John East U Retro Deluxe flat response (more neutral than the one we all know). But I've still got the Celinder pups and preamp. I will leave them to you with the bass. The stock Celinder pups will not be sold separately. Celinder Hardcase is included. Location of the bass is France, Paris. I'm not interested in any kind of trade, [u][b]CASH ONLY.[/b][/u] Feel free to contact me in case you would need more info. Peace.

funkle Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 Wow. And I say that as an owner of 2 Celinders.
molan Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 I have to ask the question that I always do when a lovely Celinder comes up for sale - how much does it weigh?
three Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 Don't know if op has seen my messages but is that a spalt maple top?
Looda Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 @Three Body : Ash Neck : Malple Fingerboard : Birdseye Maple Top : Spalted Maple Hope it helps Peace Looda
Looda Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 @molan : Sorry ! don't have no scale at home. Can't tell exactly but surely lighter than a Fender. Som' like less than 8 pounds. Looda Peace

I've owned about 5 and they've all been up around 10lbs. Is there any way you can weigh it properly. I'm only asking because I recently bought a bass that the owner insisted was just 8.5lbs and it turned out to be 9.6lbs which really is a significant difference.
three Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Thanks Looda - a beautiful bass - I'm not the biggest fan of spalt but the top and Birdseye are just lovely

[/quote] This is also my biggest concern. I owned 4 Celinders and loved them all but sold them because of their weight. Fenders in the late 70s could easily exceed the 12 lbs mark so even 11 lbs would be lighter but much too heavy for me. No chance to weigh it on a bathroom scale at a neighbour ?
Looda Posted February 10, 2015 Author Posted February 10, 2015 Hi All Weight is 4.6 kg. I don't know if Chris ever made much lighter instruments than that. Hope it helps though
johnbiffa Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I have 3 Celinders and none weigh anything like as heavy as my 77 Jazz, a good strap does the trick I find, GLWTS
