Blink Posted February 28, 2010 Posted February 28, 2010 (edited) I am selling my Steinberger Spirit 5 string fretted bass. I purchased the bass from new from the old MusicYO site many years ago and it has been well used. The bass has been upgraded by the addition of an Aguilar 2 band preamp running on 18v. The work was carried out by Mike Walsh. The controls are 2 x volume (one for each pickup) and stacked bass & treble. Things to note: There is a small dent on the back of the neck behind the 2nd fret. There is a screw hole on the neck joint where I experimented with a home made arm to hold the strap. The spindle on the treble control is slightly bent. None of the above affect the operation of the bass. The bass is otherwise as originally supplied by the manufacturer. I will sell the bass with the original gigbag, the "string thing" so the you can use single ball strings. A spare set of Double Ball strings. A strap with Schaller strap locks. I'm looking for £250 plus shipping. The Aguilar preamp is worth £70 alone. I live in north east Essex. I'm not interested in a trade. I'm selling the bass because I have recently purchased a Status Streamline. Pics attached[attachment=43780:SB1.jpg][attachment=43781:SB2.jpg][attachment=43782:SB3.jpg] Edited March 4, 2010 by Blink
Chezz55 Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Hmm onset of GAS here, and seriously interested in this bass. Where abouts in North Essex Blink? Could you do a couple of close-up pictures of the neck end string anchor please. Cheers. Chezz55
fireball_73 Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Great looking bass. I wouldn't mind one of those if I had the money.
wotnwhy Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 damn i want this bad! but i have nothing to sell or offer in trade..
dave_bass5 Posted March 1, 2010 Posted March 1, 2010 Ive had two of these in the past (from music YO) and there were the nicest sounding 5 strings ive ever played. Even the neck was miles better than a Squier 5 sting i swapped one for.
Blink Posted March 1, 2010 Author Posted March 1, 2010 Chezz55 I live between Colchester and Clacton. The neck string anchor that ia attached to the bass just has slots for double ball strings. The "string thing" is a small block with 5 holes and 5 grub screws and is held in place by string tension. N

Blink Posted March 2, 2010 Author Posted March 2, 2010 Supabock Routing was done to accomodate the 2 fliptop battery holders plus a channel for the battery wires. The preamp fitted into the existing control cavity. N
