An Interesting Thread:

Playing a Steinberger L2 - Is it too 80s retro?

Also includes my recently unearthed 24 page Steinberger-Produced dealer handout.

They needed some persuading , back then.
It lists all models and suggested retail prices.

And that is just a Hint of what this bass had to put up with in the 80's....

Nice bass

Also considering trades for 5-string Steinberger-Style basses, and lots of cash.

Spirit, Synapse, or copies.

As this has been on the wall for near 30 years and I need to cover the light spot.

=D

I guess I could include a dealers display wall bracket made for Steinbergers, curved lucite /plexiglas sort of thing, keeps the bass handy....

peterkidd · #11 03-20-2011, 05:22 PM

Besides all the history that accompanies this, it sounds Great.

Umm, perhaps slightly due to the materials of which constructed ?

Awesome bass!
is that a datsun roadster in yer pic?
Also awesome...

Thanks, I like it, too.

Nope, not a 1600, but Darn close, It's a '65 Triumph Herald.

For 7k, I can throw it in w/ the Steinberger, hardly takes up any more room than a flight-case..

Nice, those two cars have a similar look, I was a 240z guy back in the day.
If this deal on both came up a few months ago(just got a new car)
I would have been all over it!
I miss having a steiney for playing dub...
someone is gonna be happy...

peterkidd · #15 03-21-2011, 05:30 PM

Well, I could ship it in the car, but that would be probably cost extra.

Thanks for the interest.

peterkidd · #16 03-23-2011, 05:23 PM

Or I could keep the display stand, if they are not your thing....

I owned S/N 808 that was stolen back in 1990 from Washington, DC. A great bass. I was seriously bummed for a long long time. L2's are awesome. Great Bass! good luck with the sale.
