Steinberger XM-25A
5 string narrow (low B) - active electronics
Black with white binding
Delivered in January of 1989
If you're unfamiliar with the Steinberger variants, this is a traditional double cutaway wooden body with a headless bolt-on composite neck. Steinberger's original 5 strings were made with the same neck as their four strings so the spacing is narrow. There was a wide model later but this isn't it.
I'm the original owner - ordered new from Steinberger in late 1988. Never gigged, non-smoking home. Two blemishes detailed in the pictures - a small scratch on the side of the neck around the third fret and a very small indentation about the size of a Bic pen point on the lower bout just below the cutaway. FWIW, the camera flash makes the scratch look worse than it does in person.
This bass comes with all the papers from the factory and the top part of the warranty card which I sent in in '89. (Sorry, I put the Steinberger decal that came with it on my VW Bus and that car is long gone.) It will be shipped in the Steinberger gig bag that it came in and in the original shipping box.
I'm relatively new to TalkBass and not much of a poster but you can check my eBay feedback both buying and selling (I'm corsa1 there - corsa was taken). Also you can PM me for my full contact info and particulars if you like.
SOLD $2000.00
Looking for cash but may consider trade for a vintage Jazz or modern Jazz style bass of similar value.
