Did I read that right? This bass is 35.5 inches in scale length? This IS a rare bass.

Yes, 35.5 and extra half inch that you wouldn't know if I didn't tell you, regular strings fit no problem, the neck is like butter.

I've been asked by several people about international shipping, yes will do, original post modified.

raal · #11 01-31-2011, 04:28 PM

this is one hot looking and full featured Celinder!
$3K including shipping international is a bargain for European buyers. There was an Update 5 from Germany that sold for euro3K. Do the math with the exchange rate. Good luck with the sale Ari.

A good friend of mine has the same bass but in Metallic purple. Bump for a AMAZING instrument, if you were excepting trades this would be mine.

Will consider partial/trade for the right electric upright, azola, bsx, clevinger?

greenrositti · #14 02-02-2011, 07:12 AM

bump for the best seller around and undoubtedly the coolest bass on TB
