Celinder PJ5

jimc · #1 04-17-2010, 02:16 PM

I'm really in two minds about this, I literally spent 4 years stalking this bass before I got my grubby hands on it. It was my main player for a couple of years but the 10lb weight got too much for my old back on 4 hour gigs and now the taxman somehow believes I owe him money.

Celinder PJ5 in very good shape. I believe the finish is nitro which accounts for a couple pin-prick dings through the the undercoat. There are a couple of other dings that are not through the finish but overall it still looks very smart indeed (pics show details). It's currently sporting the tort pickguard but I also have a mint green pickguard that I'll included (couple pics of this in the link below).

Greengrove pre with the usual dip-switch options in the cavity. Controls are pickup vol (stacked pot) treble and bass. Through body stringing available. Incredible grain in the maple neck wood.

I'm not looking for trades on this (unless someone offers something with a butterfly on the headstock!). Asking $3000 shipped in the US.

Money sent, paid in full. Still looking for a Celinder J Update 5 if anyone is interested in selling, or a Celinder P 4.

I see this bass is up for sale on Austin Bass Traders now. Is it a 34 or 35 inch scale?

jimc · #13 08-03-2010, 11:12 PM

I believe 34" though I could be wrong. I was looking at the possibilities of buying this one back but I understand Glenn has found a buyer. I should probably close this thread as well I guess!

SCT1422 · #14 08-04-2010, 03:34 AM

It's 35"...

jimc · #15 08-04-2010, 10:54 AM

shows how easy that neck plays!

Had a tb'er over the other night playing my Celinder Update 5 and he thought it was a 34 at first, killer necks on Celinder 5's.

and Confirmation on the bass being sold out of Austin Bass Traders, I consigned the bass with them.
