FT: Celinder Custom Aura 6

[PeterChampagne]

I love this bass, but I'm a little intimidated by the 6 strings. I'd love to trade for a high-end Jazz style 5 (Alleva, Fodera, Sadowsky, Bottom Wave, etc.). From what I understand, this was Chris Celinder's personal bass. It's in very good condition with a small nick at the headstock and upper horn. Specs:
Mahogany Body
Ebony Board
Maple Neck w/ Purpleheart Stringers
Koa Top
36" scale (well-engineered. I don't notice the stretch much, and the fundamental of the E and B string are incredible)
Matching headstock, matching back plate, and truss rod cover
black hipshot hardware
flimsy (and light) bridge was replaced with a Hipshot A Style Brass bridge (I have the original)
Glockenklang 3 band preamp ( I have the Greengrove, but this is similar and more versatile)
Armstrong radiused dual coil Celinder pickups
coil tap with small Fodera coil tap switch
70s pickup spacing
Protec semi-hard case included
Ebony Knobs (the Glockenklang required a stacked knob, so the bass and treble have a black metal stacked knob. Many guys on-line can make stacked ebony knobs to match the others. I have the other single ebony knob if you go back to the greengrove)
Outright sale is $3200
Thanks for taking a look.

I was the 2. owner of this bass, my bass teacher was the 1.

It's called a Custom 6, it's not an Aura model. I shipped it with an Aguilar preamp inside, was it changed?

When I received the bass, I was told that it was Chris' personal bass, and Bass Exchange called it the Aura model. It also had the Greengrove when I received it. Are you sure this is the same bass? If so, what Aguilar was it in before? Thanks.

What are you looking for in trade?

[PeterChampagne]

Jazz style 5s mostly. Nothing too special. Thanks.

Bump for a great Seller and a great bass.

[PeterChampagne]

Bump $3200 shipped...Jazz 5s still ok

Brusen is right, this was considered the Custom. The Aura was a chambered bass with 22 frets. I played an Aura 5 string at Rudy's years ago and it's still one of the best sounding basses I've ever heard.

[Brusen]

Yes I'm sure. I know everything about this bass. It's the only one of it's kind.
It had the old CP preamp when I was the owner, I had Chris to change it. If it was changed later by Suzman, maybe.

It is NOT an AURA, the AURA model has the characteristic A and is chambered. There's a big difference in look and sound.

I know Chris personaly and live in CPH, 30min from his workshop, that's why I know these things
