Steinberger Spirit XT-2 Standard Left-Handed + 3 sets of strings £280 London

[mario_buoninfante]

Hi,

 

I'm selling my Steinberger Spirit XT-2 Left Handed bass, bought new in 2020, together with 3 new sets of double-ball end strings (2 x Steinberger SST-109, 1 x LaBella S100S - aside from the set of Elites that are already mounted on the bass - that roughly equate to £90-100), an Ernie Ball black strap and and its original gigbag.

The bass is in really good conditions and works perfectly.

It has a really good sound for its price range, with an incredible sustain and good definition.

All strings sound quite balanced, with a good low-end.

 

Worth noticing that I made a few changes to it:

• As soon as I bought it, I had a professional guitar/bass technician install a linear tone pot, as the one that came with the bass had a really weird response
• I sanded the neck a little bit, as it was really glossy and a bit sticky (see pictures)
• I installed an extension on its back (using 2 short brackets) to extend the strap button, so that when standing the bass sits similar to how a standard Fender/MusicMan/etc. bass sit. This required to drill a small hole on the bass back (see pictures) and left a few marks on its back next to where the original strap button is (see pictures). This would be really easy to remove with just a screwdriver.
• When first bought, the tuning machines where really stiff, so I opened them, got rid of the springs (that I still have and will provide with the bass - see pictures) and applied a lubricant to make them work well. They are now really smooth and hold the tuning really well
• Tuning machines have a few scratches (see pictures)
   

Happy to meet with anybody in the area to try the bass out.

Can ship if necessary (mainland UK). Shipment costs to be added.
