1985/6 Steinberger NYC (Newbury Original) XM2 ***Price Drop*** £1600

I think the time has come to sell my 1985/6 Steinberger XM2. Built in the original NYC Steinberger facility, it features a one piece graphite neck, maple body and the original EMG HBs, originally designed for this very bass I believe.

 

It's in good condition for its age, but has some swirling and minor scratches to the finish. When I got it, the bridge pickup preamp had died inside the casing and EMG couldn't/wouldn't try to repair it and I couldn't find anyone else wanting to do so, so I had replaced it with a new EMG HB. It's the exact same spec but is obviously unoriginal. Had a fret polish, new strings and a setup this evening and it feels and sounds incredible, the neck is super resonant and responsive. Comes with the original gigbag, which is a bit worn but still functional and even some old 80s packaging Steinberger strings which are past their best but a cool bit of memorabilia. Seen these listed for 2400 online but due to the changed pickup ( original broken one included) I'm listing it a bit cheaper.

5 string, mutter mutter. 

 

But that is a mighty fine looking instrument. 

Thanks! I love it, the sustain is bonkers but I've got too many basses at the moment and the van needs work unfortunately 😔
