TAzMilitello Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) [NOW SOLD] this awesome Steinberger XQ-5, made in USA. Ash body, famous Graphite composite neck. The serial is TN-16069, model XQSTD5CB, cherry burst, dated June 2, 1996, before of Steinberger by "Music Yo" with Moses neck. Completely original except for the preamp which is a Sadowsky equivalent with the possibility of Active/Passive mode, purchased separately, and a screw at the top of the bolt-on which has been replaced and has a double battery compartment. This model with the Bartolini has a really good attack but a more balanced and softer sound than the brothers with Duncan or EMG. Perfectly working. Original soft case included. Built in the famous Tennessee plant, under the supervision of Gibson who had taken over the company and who continued to use the components of the previous Q5 models. Definitely more aesthetically pleasing (for this reason in fact Gibson had imposed a change of products line), and lighter as it has an ash body, with a very firm and balanced sound, with woods supplied directly by Gibson stocks, they are in fact even better balanced compared to the previous Q models that instead have a maple body.

Hi, yes my friend, in my opinion Bartolini PUs gives a softer and more balanced sound and touch than the EMGs one. 🍻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok! When I bought this Steinberger an Aguilar OBP-3 had been installed, but I give you the reason, the sound on the high was not great, I installed this Sadowsky preamp which I like best and it has the possibility of active/passive mode, on the frequencies it plays very well.

It's an awesome instrument and always very clean and dynamic in sound, unfortunately I already have 3 headless basses and 9 basses at home, unfortunately I am forced to "make space". If you need any information, don't hesitate to contact me... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassmayhem Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 What string spacing at the bridge does it have? I had an XL25 that was super super narrow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMG456 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 These are the proper 5 string neck and bridge/ pickups. The L2/5s were 5 strings on an already tight four string neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
