Celinder Custom 6

bassisten · #1 09-17-2011, 04:25 PM

Hi there!

I'm selling my custom built 6-string bass handmade by Christian Celinder in his workshop in Copenhagen (Denmark) in '97.

The neck is standard lenght (34"), 24 frets, bolt on, 5-piece neck (3 x maple + 2 x purpleheart). Fretboard is ebony. The body is Danish ash with a top of quilted maple. Pickups are Celinders own handspun C6DC's with ebony covers. The preamp is the Aguilar ODP-3 (18v) with vol, vol (pull/push active/passive), bass, mid (2-band switchable), treble. The control knobs are all ebony.

String spacing @ bridge: 17,5mm (center string to center string)
String spacing @ nut: 10,0mm (center string to center string)

Celinder isn't building his fantastic basses anymore. Back in the day you had to wait for 2 years or more to receive your instrument. I'm the 2nd owner. It's 99% mint condition, only cosmic wear. Absolutely NO deep scratches, nothing. Hiscox Lite Flite hardcase included.

Basses in the same league could be custom F Bass, Fodera and Alembic. This is a one-of-a-kind bass, there is no other Celinder bass with these specs. As far as I know this is the only Custom 6 with a 34" neck ever made, all others have 36" necks.

The pics don't justify the beauty of the instrument.

Price when bought from Celinder: 6.400$

Yours for: 3.500$

I'm not interested in trade. Shipping globally, sharing shipping costs 50/50. Questions? Send me a PM.

What a great offering. This is off the charts.

17.5mm string-spacing at the bridge?

Cheers.

Hi Kevin!

Just made the measurement of the string spacing... it is as follows:

String spacing @ bridge: 17,5mm (center string to center string)
String spacing @ nut: 10,0mm (center string to center string)

What a wonderful bass Bassisten!! This should go very quick, if it was a four string bye bye savings! I have a Update four string nothing out there like it! I hear conflicting reports about Christian,first i hear from a dealer he just moved into a new shop and is building . Then i hear from people on TB that he is no longer building . Wish i could find out what is really going on.

Hi Celinder72!

Thanks a lot for your kind words about the bass.

Regarding Celinder, he's like a myth, nobody knows for sure.

Cheers, Peter
