So....here’s a “well, that was fast...”. I bought this on Friday, (deal thread: SOLD - Steinberger Spirit XT-25 5-String )
I had a chance to play it a looooonnnggg time during this weekend. The result? Although this bass is light (7lbs 12oz), I cannot do a 34” scale anymore, due to issues in my neck and shoulders. It was just too much. 30” is my sweet spot.
This is an incredibly well made bass, and in immaculate shape. It is set up low and plays great. Truss rod works, all wrenches and case candy is there. Adapter is included. @2cooltoolz really took care of it!
Price is for the bass. Actual shipping cost will be calculated/agreed to with the buyer. Package is 48” X 12” X 6” and weighs 14 lbs, shipped from 77381.
I’m reusing the pics from that listing here, as well.
Here’s some specs from Musicians Friend, which I am sure is from Steinberger/generic to all distributors:
Distinctive, award-winning body-shape bolstered with amazing features.
The Spirit XT-25 is a 5-string bass guitar featuring the same distinctive body-shape as the award-winning Steinberger XL Series and the trademark headless neck with the patented Double-Ball tuning system. Other features include the patented double-ball Steinberger bass bridge with direct-pull, 40:1 ratio machine heads, 2 (HB - HB) Steinberger bass pickups and folding leg rest for playing comfort while sitting. And the XT-2 is perhaps the world's most travel-friendly and convenient bass ever made. Being only 38.5" in length, the Steinberger Spirit XT-25 can fit in places where other basses can't. It also features a 3-piece hard maple neck and thru-neck solid wood construction. Also comes with a deluxe gig bag.
While this bass comes set up for a low B string, there is a Steinberger string set available to make it a high C instrument instead (see our SKU #100929).
