Just been informed this is a Celinder J Vintage 5. Difference between this and an Update is that this has a rosewood board and the pickups are in the 60s position though to my ear it totally got the 70s Fender Jazz sound, maybe the actives helped in that respect, either way it sounds great.
Hopefully the original owner will weigh in on this thread but he told me he had 7 Celinders in total and that this one was his favorite and I can see why.
I have played this bass a lot as had the original owner so I would class this bass as a player, there are a number of dings (3 through the finish), but overall it still looks great and it plays and sounds wonderful.
Hate to let it go but the wife says I have too many basses and she's probably right.
