I didn't know Steinbergers made basses like this!

Epic!

Steinberger can be tricky to ID correctly as they keep chopping off the bit with their name on. Clowns!

[KiOgon]

It's the MohAgony model

[JamesTun]

Damn son! Anything without a head could be classed as Steinberger!

[JapanAxe]

It's a bit like calling any vacuum cleaner a 'Hoover'.

I would like to move the land far under. Does anyone know a course I could take?

Clearly not a Steinberger, looks like a one-off projecty thing made with Hohner hardware & (possibly) neck. The seller's probably calling it a Steinberger because the Hohner tuner/bridge is licensed from Steinberger, & says Steinberger on it.

Shame there aren't more pics, I'd be interested to know how the neck's attached, since Hohner Jacks & B2s are through-neck. I think it's quite a cool little bass.

I asked the guy. As it shows in the description, he basically said that the bass player for their band went to Australia leaving his bass.

I am tempted to ask for more pictures.

For £125, you can't go wrong with most basses! Even Hohners.

Am I allowed to really like this?

[JamesTun]

This is probably the lightest looking bass I have ever seen.

[RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE]

Obviously nor a Berger . Looks like a nice backup bass tho'

[Happy Jack]

That looks a lot like a Status Streamline to my eyes.

I doubt it will go for £125 but, if it does, that would be a very low price IMHO.

[alyctes]

I'm pretty sure Playaway Guitars used to sell these. No idea if they're any good, but I'm considering finding out

[JamesTun]

The shape definitely is not a berg. But I do think it could potentially either a Status or a Hohner.

I messaged the seller to clarify what it was and they said it was a custom build. Pic of back showing through neck construction attached.

Status making ironing board covers - times must be hard

I reckon it's a Hohner B2A modified with body wings & a veneer on the front covering the original pickup routes. I quite like it.

I suppose it will all come out in the wash, as to what it is

Control cavity is wrong for a B2A but it could well be a B2 - the control cavity is at a slant to the neck-through, which is right for being parallel to the bottom edge of a B2 body. Looks a very neat job. If it had one more string, I'd be tempted.
