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...

Ultima Ratio

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

I own a '93 Warwick Streamer 5 stringer, on that stands back on a Steinberger L-5. The Steini has 3.6 kg, the Warwick has 3.9 kg and sounds like hell, best 5er that i ever had. I dislike heavy gear, 4kg is the max I would buy; that hinders me to get a MM Sting Ray, also sounding like hell, but...

I had a TE 300W + 2 4X10" speaker, but with my very classy 1993 Warwick/5 i never got a desired tone ... Somewhat of a cold and sterile tone was all I've got, so I traded it for an Ampeg 100W + a 4X10' cab and got a marvelous tone then. '

A clear case for a Steinberger L or XL ... no Spirit XT, you would only be disappointed.

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 ...

Torino Red.❤️

You better give us what we really want: carottes ...!

I know how my bass sounds because i want it to sound as a hot knife in butter... i dislike bassist going for a dull muffed tone, i give it a tight attack on full low mids blow for clear audibility ; best to go for is a P or the L Steinberger to me.

3,6kg easy traveling: 1/2 ton of pita: (my badest P ever)

The P have the best push on lower mid frequencies, the essential part of a well balanced overall tone; except for the Steinberger's L i never had that on other basses: tone perfection. :thumbsup:

There's no honor in shabbing down gear with a grinder. :rollno:

When i want comfort i go to my sofa ... and even there i've never faced any lacking on the bass, too bad for you then.

Upper horn, cutaway, neck-dive ... ? i think Ned Steinberger solved that very well, even with 24 frets. :cool:

Really? i d'go for a double neck then: one with 23, the other with 24 frets, so everybody is happy then. Here's a lotta folk chasing problems more than hold on solutions ... remember Frank Z.'s statement! :rollno:

Legit or well done fake? Let the experts talk ...:p

A good luthier could bend/twist it back over a steam treatment, i had a Strat with the same issue that went back a superb guitar then. Otherwise i would favor the door-handle, what a statement entering in a music room ... :smug:

Steinberger L only, for it's the same pups config as a P (split-coil) and i get all desired sounds twice as punchy ... and half the haul fuss. :cool:

Not really, the P split-coil (a humbucker in fact) would have to be wired in series to connect as parallel to the J then; to me the P/J never made sense therefore.

... or asking for a shoeshine in Istanbul.

If only i had an opinion, but in fact it's about a life-turning thing ... so i'll get me a beer outta fridge and meditate over it.

... and by the International String Producer Association.:smug:

Great pic to explain my wife why one needs more than one bass, although i consider it a little exaggerated to own 6 nearly similar axes ... but probably i'm only bitta jealous of. Btw, the cat fits very well on them ... :D

Black or red or a '62 P in 3TSB.

There's plenty a tort or white or ... show up! :smug:

NO! For it's ugly and one can throw a 7'000$ outta window as well.

A golden rule to me: grab for cheapness got its price buying cheap is buying twice ... Of course beginners better pick cheaper instruments (specially during a spleen phase), but when coming in age, one choses quality levels that cheapos in general do not range in, and as in most of the cases...

No vintage tint on my Steinberger, glossy black since the day she was born ... but the '93 Warwick went wonderful:

I d'play for hours all day long, band mates appreciate ...
