Okay, first off, this is pretty damn funny.... you have to watch it to understand why. but the steinberger in this video has two jazz pickups installed really closely together like a humbucker. it looks pretty good. I KNOW its not the actual bass i hear, but youll see why...


 
That's not a Steinberger - looks like a Kramer Duke Steinberger copy. They came out around the time the real 'Berger came out in the mid to late eighties.

No doubt about it, that IS a Kramer Duke. It was my first brand-new bass. I remember ordering it-man was I excited!
It was as close as I could get to an original Steiny while I was going to college and using most of my work-study $$ to buy beer!

It had an aluminum neck and dang!! Was that a cold neck to play. Obviously as stable as anything but I hated taking it anywhere during the winter in my unheated 73 Ford Maverick. :help:
I pretty much needed to put it under a heatlamp for about 20 minutes before it could be played without fear of my hand sticking to it!
