The one I've seen is a private sale from a friend. It's sunburst with white blocks on a beautiful birdseye maple board

Just a note- dropping Duncan Antiquities in my Update 4 made it sound even more like a Fender..they are not humcancelling and have exposed pole pieces.

Is this Archie?

Crazy, well you should meet Archie, he is in Toronto and has a collection of Fodera's and Celinder's, and vintage Fender's.

I feel this is one of those moments where I introduce two people I know to each other. . .

I have a feeling you are going to end up with that Lowend Celinder

You haven't seen the sunburst one with white blocks though Mitch

I keep going round in circles on what I'm really looking for but the two brands I've bought from you in the past are pretty much top of my pile again!

Hi.
Just in case someone here is dying to replace their broken or replaced celinder preamp:
www.dba.dk
Type Greengrove in the search field. There is a danish guy selling what appears to me as unused/new Greengrove units. PM me if you need help to translate. I have NO affiliation with the seller.
Roger.

Most importantly it is a live take with me playing my old Celinder Update! Gives you an idea of the tone recorded direct with no processing.

thanks for posting. a great recording speaks more than a dozen pictures. reminds me a little bit of that famous live recording from September '79 ...

interesting to hear what a subtle tone difference the 34" scale makes

I know that album by heart, I assume you are referring to my wife's voice?

[raal]

the mix of bass and female voice, the fact that both of you are master of your own craft and interact so beautifully

Thanks for the kind words. I am tempted to get that celinder back, wouldnt mind recording more with it.

Just received my new to me but minty Celinder Classic J, alder with Brazilian rosewood fretboard and Alleva Coppolo single coils. Absolutely gorgeous and nails the 60's Jazz Bass sound. Built brilliantly. I love it!

It came with two pickguards, so I've changed it to black. I also had an East J-Retro lying around that I dropped in and it sounds just fantastic.

Just trying to sort out how to load pics from the iPhone....

[Peter Weil]

Got it...

My old - special ordered - bass.
What a great instrument. Enjoy it!
