The neck repair... ew. It may well be perfectly sound, but it does not look pleasing.

I like it, in its way. I'm not sure about the bridge though - is it on straight?

Maybe that's why the bridge looks wonky?

I bought Frank's Slinger hip strap and I am a happy camper. I'd be happy to deal with Frank again. Thanks Frank!

That's what it looks like to me. But lots of people would call me paranoid. And I know who they are. All of them.

That does sound like fun

I was [font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]interested[/font] by this: "[font=georgia,serif]being a private seller my maximum selling price is limited " - [font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]surely if he was selling a car (say an Aston Martin) it could go for more than any likely bass? (Sad though it is )[/font][/font]

I presume the seller is relying on eBay not noticing the "sale".... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1980s-Steinberger-XL2-electric-bass-pics-/172118359025?hash=item28130dbbf1:g:BgAAAOSwzgRWvwZd "[font=georgia,serif]PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. This listing is about pictures of the Steinberger bass, not the bass itself, because being a private seller my maximum selling price is limited (if you are interested in the bass guitar, please don't bid). Pictured is an original Steinberger XL2 electric bass, unused except possibly for shop trials. It comes with its original strings, documentation, strap and soft case. No scratches and signs of wear. Some metal parts show slight opaqueness from 30+ years of age, but no signs of oxidation (please see pictures).[/font] [font=georgia,serif]Made in NY, USA (serial Number 6818). According to Steinberger's serial number database, this one belongs to the first series (please check it out here: http://www.steinbergerworld.com/serialdb.htm, second paragraph).[/font] [font=georgia,serif]A really rare opportunity.[/font] [font=georgia,serif]I am considering listing it soon, or accept the best offer. Can post in the UK. For more information or specific pictures please contact me. Inspection and direct collection are quite welcome.[/font]"

Original replaced with a bridge pup?
