Chopthebass Posted February 22 Posted February 22 I have a Steinberger fretless bass and I can’t find out the model. It’s been refinished and fitted with EMG electronics. I saw a XQSTD5 for sale and it looks very similar, except neck bolt arrangement is different. Any help is appreciated! 1 Quote
Franticsmurf Posted February 22 Posted February 22 Just found this website which might help. The body shape resembles my Spirit XQ2. Quote

Should be a nice bass. 1 Quote
Franticsmurf Posted Thursday at 16:12 Posted Thursday at 16:12 Cheers @EMG456 - I've never been sure of the official model designation and took the 'XQ' from the website I linked too, failing to pick up on the Graphite neck element. Mine has the wooden neck. It also came with the DB bridge, which I found very convenient over the years. As it is in semi retirement, I transplanted that bridge to my Hohner Jack headless which is currently a spare for gigs. 1 Quote
