FS(No Trades): '88 Steinberger XL2A

tat2jim · #1 01-28-2010, 02:03 PM

This all graphite monster comes w/original gig bag and new D'Addario XL160 strings. And YES, it has the leg rest, battery cover and boomerang strap holder. Picture shows dings on the back. It currently is modded to 18V, can easily be put back to 9v. I would without hesitation, rate this bass 9/10. It was overhauled at Peekamoose in New York a handful of years ago(receipt included). I'll keep this open on TB for a week, then it's off to that Evil place. $1550.00 SHIPPED CONUS

That is a great price for one of these. I would be surprised if it here very long.

Owgod, I had never seen an opened Steinberger!
Kinda weird, I thought it had a solid graphite body, never thought It could be hollow inside!
Free bump for a great bass though!

I can't imagine how heavy this would be if it was a solid body.

They're not really hollow, per se. But they're not solid front-to-back either.

They are solid, but there is a hollow space underneath the plastic top. The body itself is solid, very dense, and around an inch thick under that space, so I don't think the term "hollow" quite captures it accurately. OTOH, there is a significant space under the top.

They're unique, and sound it. I'm gigging mine tonight. The band LOVES the Steinberger tone.

You're gonna love it, Rich!
