In deed, they're so stiff and dense, so there's almost no resonance on body & neck w.s. there's a maximum energy from the strings onto the pups and once tuned, it stays in for years, except one change the strings monthly ... and yes, the XL5W is/was in perfect manner (for she's gone), the L2-5...

It was taking a few minutes to get used to the narrow spacing of the first Steinberger L-5 ... so what?

Not all, mine is 3.5kg/7.7lbs, best bass I ever had, a real beast in tone.

It make no sense to me to compare such high level bands; I like both as same ...

Steinbergers: L2/5: 3.6 kg, XL5W 3,8 kg. One will never get that punch on -4 kg

Steinberger L 2-5 = 3,4 kg of broad punch :cool: (The upper XL5W is gone) Fender P 60th Anniversary =4,8kg of a bad buy :rollno:

"Paint it black" but i don't know if Mick or Keef mentioned a P-Bass within ... ô_ô

Buy a Steinberger L and stop whining. :rollno:

Oops, seems i'm not the first to do so ... :D

If possible i fix my string with a Maltese knot ...
