My first bass was a 1983 Japanese replica of the ash/maple/black blocks jazz bass variety under the Morris trade name. It was a shocking, shocking bass. Worse than your worst nightmares!

Yup - Jamiroquai...odd band. Saw them at their height in around 95/96 at the Notting Hill Carnival and there was a charisma bypass happening on stage. Weird, given that he's a crafty mover. It sounded like terrible pastiche to me.

Oooo, very nice indeed!

Very smooth transaction. Thanks Steve!

Indeed Kiwi - regarding rarity, load up the Steinberger database and search for XL25...doesn't occur much... http://www.steinbergerworld.com/serial-L.html -

Interesting bass. Do you find the thicker neck give this jazz a heavier sound? I love jazz basses but suspect that the thinner the neck, the weedier the tone? -
I wouldn't sell it

Indeed - these are so eye wateringly rare. One of the great bass designs and unlike it's peers - Jazzes, Ps, Rics, Stingrays etc - they will NEVER be made again. Gold dust, hen's teeth, finite resource etc

S'funny - I play a Rickenbacker and a Stingray and don't give a guff about people slagging either bass off as, um, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Also, the weak G string is present on most Stingrays I have tried. I had a '94 (now sold) that had a very weak G string. My Classic, on the other hand, is strong like bull Getting upset about people slagging off the model of your bass is a major warning that you need to get a sense of perspective. These brand specific websites are a fantastic source of information but the mildest criticism will nark off the passive aggressive obsessive compulsives that act as self-elected brand reps who see themselves as protector of Sterling Ball's honour etc etc (he can protect himself very adequately I'm sure).

Indeed. On a rarity/collectable scale an XL25A goes up to 11…funny how Steinbergers don't get snapped up immediately. They are such fantastic basses…
-
And a price drop to 1650 for this splendid bass! -
Good voice there…communicates the song well...
-
Yup - it's a beauty...
-
Price drop Monday Adamovic bump... Also open to jazz basses plus a grand!

They're very rare I think - a special one off order by GC in around 2010/11. Mine has a flame neck and a weight of 8.5 lbs - it's my dream bass.

Links tweaked…Maher went on to play with Scritti. I love this music. That's put me in the mood for some relentless music. Lo...Crow by Albini's Shellac... [media]http://youtu.be/gPQIMA6H6F8[/media]

[quote name='stingrayPete1977' timestamp='1415868778' post='2604559'] Not unless he has a time machine [/quote] Ah ...didn't realise he was using them before Edwards. Anyone with a geeky interest in Queen recordings know which tracks were Deacon using a 'Ray?
