Steinberger basses

I would love to own a lefty original but I'll watch this instead.



Watch them all.

I had one Steve, several years ago.
Purchased used here in the UK for only £500 but i could not get on with it, the way it hung and pretty heavy I found.
It ended up in Scotland.

I remember doing a repair to a righty and being amazed at the weight.

I bought a Steinberger L2 in 1983. I waited 6 months for it, as they were so popular. I recently sold it and bought a Fender 1979 Jazz. Great bass, but it was just gathering dust.

In remember that documentary first time.

I watched that documentary a little while ago, very good stuff. Those Steinbergers are amazing basses, I only wish they were still being made, in the original 80's guise of all carbon graphite design. I'd buy one!

If you like Steinberger tone, check out this video at 01:47 seconds, in the little section starting there before the solo.

It may only be a wooden "Spirit" one, but my Steinberger is great!

An excellent find Sir. Fascinating from both a musical and business perspective. I started watching it at work, but got funny looks, even though it was my lunch break. Will watch the rest tonight.

P.S. I used to find Steinbergers ugly and pointless. I now want one.
