RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Not a steinberger IMHO . Looks like a custom build. Doubt if it's worth as much as he says. Over to others on here, and see what they think ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Admiral Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Guts of a Steinberger transferred to a custom body? It could of course be a prototype and wiser heads will probably arrive shortly to advise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowieBass Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I thought all Steinbergers were graphite/composite necked? The body shape isn't particularly attractive IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Use google images it shows loads of photos of steinberger basses, none like that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Transplant IMHo Any "patent pending" or patent number plaques or marks ? Edited September 13, 2014 by Geek99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stance Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Thanks you all! I´ve checked the bass, and though it´s very well made, I couldn´t see any serial number or marking that made me think I was looking to a legit Steinberger. Have a nice weekend Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Undead Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Nice bass, but I'd pass. I doubt it's worth £900, but even if it was, you'd have a hard time selling it. Tell him you want the cash he owes you, not goods to the (possible) value of... EDIT: spelling.

Bassassin Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 This bass has Steinberger-licensed hardware, the same as used on Hohner B2, B2A & Jack basses. These were manufactured by Cort, who also used the same hardware on their own-brand basses. It seems most likely that this is either a custom build using Cort hardware, or was manufactured by Cort themselves. The guy's probably claiming it's a Steinberger because the hardware will have "Licensed By Steinberger" on it! It's a pretty cool-looking bass, but £200-£300, not £900. Jon.

UglyDog Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 If he reckons it's worth 900 sheets, tell him to list it on fleabay for that much and see if it sells. It won't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlungerModerno Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Tell them it's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. If you want you can make them an offer. £900 is a big claim - needs big evidence, e.g. evidence of plenty of comparable sales on or about that price. Without evidence to that effect . . . £100? £200??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
