SOLD FS Celinder Update 5

String spacing?

 

Interesting configuration with the BA bridge and the OB-1... very 'Marcus' oriented.

Bump for what looks like a very nice one at a good price.

PS While I never have seen the spacing posted, and I don't have a good way to measure mine, it feels like the typical .75"/.19 spacing.

 

Yep, and as you can see, it's also fairly compact at the nut, so it's also comfy for fingerstyle.

Man, this is sad!!

Just as a side note, these are not "swamp ash", which is a slang term for very very light weight ash. If it were "swamp ash", the bass would probably weigh more like 9 pounds.

FWIW, Chris is VERY particular about staying true to the original 70's J bass wood formula to get that sound, and part of that sound is a nice dense piece of danish ash for the body.

He also makes INCREDIBLY stable necks. Currently, I think my CU5 is the only bass I own that I haven't had to adjust the truss rod on this spring.

That said, 11 pounds is pretty much "median" for a CU5, so this bass is dead on perfect in that respect.

Folks, the replacement cost on this bass is currently OVER $4000 (no, that's not "MSRP", that's what you'll actually have to pay), and that's IF you can find one. Typically, wait times on these is anywhere from 6-12 months, and maybe even more, depending on what you want.

This is a GOOD DEAL.

 

This is my old bass, it is very Marcusish.

 

PM sent.. Whats the string spacing at the nut... I use to own one that was custom made with a tighter string spacing at the nut which I did not like.. Who put the Aguilar preamp in and whose the original owner.. Just wondering if it's the one I use to own..

 

Son-of-a. . . let me know if it falls through.............

 

I knew this wouldn't take long!

...and to the new owner, congrats! If you've never played one before, prepare to be VERY VERY happy.

 

Nutz!! I've been thinking of getting another Celinder for abit.. After playing my Vintage 5 out on a gig Wednesday night, it made me realize how much I love these basses..
Whose the lucky buyer??

 

Buy my Koa Celinder 5, it's a perfect mix of your Vintages and the Updates.

 

So this one's gone for sure?

 

You mean as in "if it is, close the thread"?
