SumOne Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) Edit: Sold Steinberger Spirit XT-2DB with drop D tuner. £150. This is a decent sounding full scale (34") Bass that packs into a small gig bag. It also has drop D tuner but the end of the lever has snapped - the lever still works though (see photos) or can just be left pressed down for standard tuning. A couple of paint chips on corners. Everything else works well and it plays well. It's roughly 3.3kg. Pickup from Twickenham preferred or postage for £20. Text from Andertons (who are selling it for £349 new) Revolutionary versatile design The Steinberger is widely perceived as one of best travel guitar solutions on the market. Don’t be deceived by its sci-fi looks; this bass is designed to provide a crystal-clear sound that’s versatile enough for any application. A Basswood body and Maple neck provides a light playability and balanced, neutral tone. The tonewood combo is the perfect platform for the XT-2’s humbuckers. The HB-1 bridge pickup gives you clarity and bite, while the HB-2 neck pickup adds warmth and weight in equal measure. DB-Drop Tuner The headline feature of the XT-2DB is, as the name suggests, the DB-drop tuning system. This revolutionary design allows you to instantly tune the lower string from E to D, so you're in drop-D. This tuning is popular for everything from folk to thrash metal, so being able to change from that to standard and back again is immensely handy. Here’s what Steinberger say: Steinberger presents the XT-2DB Standard 4-string Electric Bass Outfit, the Ultimate Travel Bass featuring the revolutionary Steinberger body design, the DB-Tuner system for instant drop tuning (low E-string to D), 40:1 Direct Pull tuners, patented DoubleBall Bass Bridge, powerful Steinberger HB pickups, plus a deluxe gigbag. The XT-2DB Standard 4-string Bass Outfit is part of Steinberger’s new Spirit Collection and is available in a Black Gloss Finish.

Rich Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I have no idea. I used to travel a lot with my job, if I still was it'd be sat here next to me by now. Seems like a mad bargain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
