[quote name='MattM' timestamp='1505068088' post='3369283'] Re lefty XL2, its possibly an XL2A which are the latter active variants. Volume, pickup pan and bass treble boost/cut latter two of which have centre dentents. The bog standard XL2 would have no detents and a standard Jazz typ VVT. [/quote] Thanks for that. It is exactly as you describe so must indeed be an XL2A.

I keep coming back to look at this. Love the finish. Just superb.

I know. The price has been dropping for weeks. My dream bass.

Cool! My first bass was a Vantage, single pickup model. Brings back memories.

Very impressive. Now that it's fretless will this affect the type of strings that go on? For instance, flats or tapewounds?

I suppose the original Steinberger cases were like gun cases so no surprise it fits what you have. Feel free to upload a pic to illustrate the snug fit.

[quote name='mxm' timestamp='1505057417' post='3369178'] Nice Steinberger, rare to say the least. Did you manage to source a case (saw the wanted post) ?!! [/quote] Still looking. Doesn't have to be a Steinberger case. Will fit in any guitar size gigbag but trying to find a case that is both short in length and narrow like the bass itself.

My new arrival from the States. Steinberger XL2A Only problem I have, which was unforeseen, is that the string slots on the headpiece are different widths for each string which means Im unable to reverse the strings, as is the way I play bass. Not sure how to rectify this issue. Beautiful and rare instrument in fantastic condition.

Just acquired a lefty Steinberger XL2 from the USA. Could someone who has one explain how the controls are set up as are not, as I thought they would be, simply a V/V/T like a jazz bass. Also, an unforeseen problem for me is that the string slots on the headpiece are different widths and and I play with the strings in reverse order. This is currently not possible to do.

Def not a lefty if you zoom in to inspect the decal. Actually looks like a modern re-issue.

That was a good price

Good to have another on board!
