Steinberger Club

Here's my 1991 XL2A-D

When in doubt, create a new club! That way, when the "original" Steinberger club guys get all in a huff, the "new" Steinberger club guys can rumble with them under the overpass, just like Sharks versus Jets.

If any of you have #0007 under your bed, it used to belong to me and was stolen in Asheville North Carolina. I would definitely like to get it back. I've owned many over the years but that one was the best one.

I'm building my own mastering studio and probably you know
what the rates are for mastering compressors eq converters
speakers etc....and also I have no time to play it anymore.
I'm fully involved to get a mastering engineer.
Then the first reason?money.

John Kahn, Jerry Garcia Band, played one exclusively during his last years with the band.

I had a 1985 ( I believe ) 5-string XL-2. It was stolen from me in the Philipines. I dont remember the serial # but I think it was something like 3365 or something. I bought it at Makin Music in Chicago. Anyone? I really really loved that bass...

If thats not bad enough, heres another sad Steinberger story;

I had a 1969 Fender P that was translucent blond with a fretless maple neck and tortise shell pickguard. It was in flawless condition. I was sooo broken up about loosing my XL2 that I traded it for an XM 2 Transtrem plus I had to give the store $600!!!! It was the most stupid thing I've ever done in my life by far. Not only do I hate the XM 2 because people make fun of me everytime I play it, but I hate it even more considering how/why I got it.

Please dis-allow me from ever joining your club.

Gotta represent for the XP-2 owners. Excuse the crappy photo:

Got this used in '93 - my first real serious axe. It was a backup for many years. I tried to dump it several times and could never find any takers. Now I play it out more and have become attached to it again. (Tough luck, store owners and eBayers - you had your shot! )

If the military needed bass guitars for use in combat zones, they might look and be built like these. I am always impressed by the quality and originality of the '80s Steinbergers.

I have the Steinberger Q Bass, and I love it. The tone is amazing, and the sustain is nutz. My only problem with it, is the E string, blaps alot. I can't play it hard at all, or it rattles off the frets. It's not as noticable on the amp (though if i play hard it does happen), but playing accoustically, it's very noticable. I'm just curious if anyone else experiences this, and/or is it a setting I can improve. I've had it to a guitar tech and he just said it will rattle accoustically, and just don't play it too hard. I understand that, and it acutally helped my playing in containing how hard i play, but it seems to be extra sensitive compared to other basses I play.

 

[BluesWalker]

Try raising the action of the E string.

To whom would be interested I lowered the rate to 1350euro.
