£375
London

vincbt · June 21, 2021

I will probably come to regret this, but I am selling my Steinberger Spirit XZ-2 Bass. I owned one of these when I was a teenager, had a massive mid-life crisis a couple of years ago and I decided to track one down again. This bass comes from Italy and it's a really nice portable instrument, but unfortunately it doesn't get played at all and I have another Fender case on the way, so it's time to face reality and let someone else have it.

The previous owner swapped the Select by EMG pick-ups with some active EMG humbuckers, which it is a noticeable improvement. The original pick-ups are included in the sale if the new owner fancies swapping them back or using them for a new build. I can't date the bass as I can't find a serial number, but these have been discontinued for a few years and are increasingly difficult to find. It has a few nicks and scuffs, which I hopefully managed to capture in the photos.

This is a 34in scale and has a full body, not the classic Spirit broomstick shape, so a full size bass in guitar size. Weight is around 3.3kg according to the baby scale and it has a J neck profile (1.5in at the nut). It currently has some Elites DBE Series 40-100 Stainless Steel Double Ball End Bass Strings in decent shape.

Price is ~~£375~~ £350 , I priced it to reflect the pick-up upgrade but please do let me know if I'm off and I will listen to serious offers. It comes with a Spirit gig bag and I can include a Dunlop strap in the sale if needed.

Collection from London preferred, or I can ship at additional cost. Any questions, please let me know.
