Clarky Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Not for me but interesting and you certainly don't see many of these [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Steinberger-Spirit-XZ-25-Fretless-5-String-Bass-Honey-/160537722620?pt=UK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV&hash=item2560cb3efc#ht_600wt_1141"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Steinberger-Spirit-X...c#ht_600wt_1141[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 (edited) Yeah..I've got the 4 string version of this.."powered" by EMG Select p/ups..same output as if it's not plugged in...I think they used to use these in the Hohner "cricket bats" in the 80s IIRC..I had one, didn't realise how s**t they were till I plugged in my Westone Thunder 1A again after a year of using the Hohner..needless to say it didn't get used much after that!! At over a £100 it seems expensive for firewood - but then again they are predicting snow again.. Edited January 29, 2011 by TheGreek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 Blimey, I sort of assumed that Steinberger were quite exclusive, rather than kindling!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreek Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 You've confused "Steinberger" for "Steinberger Spirit" - made in Japan I believe - sort of "entry" version. The Steinberger equivalent of Warwick Rockbass... I may be wrong but if so I invite offers for my 4 string.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, I'd take it off your hands for a tenner, quite like mine & it'd be nice to have a spare! Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
