  3. Be interesting to see the response to this post, as you just don't see many Steinbergers these days. And I do think they will become very valuable in time but never fragile and always in tune I just love them all! Good old Ned

  6. Your spot on there, that is just so true!
  7. But isn't music the one domain where ageism is not a problem as long as you don't try to look 18 when your 80, even if your still 18 in your head

  14. Hi Ped Serial No is 173 yeah is brill i don't no what it is about them ugly yet beautiful! there so light well balanced I love it to bits, you can see why I do not want to do anything to it that's irreversible I think i will just swap thee electrics and leave the pup's alone.
  15. Hi Ped Some pics as requested this is how it looked when I first got it about three years ago I think. note the the way the strings are on the head-stock, but it is in such good condition with no paint missing [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/92446774@N04/8401928255/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/92446774@N04/8402996932/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/92446774@N04/8402996480/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/92446774@N04/8401907679/"][/url] [url="http://www.flickr.com/photos/92446774@N04/8402995986/"][/url]
  16. Cheers Ped Thanks for that
  17. Cheers For that Ped I have an East U-retro 4 knob deluxe in my Shuker Bass and if I fitted one of those it would be a direct fit leaving the small toggle switch hole redundant, they sound fantastic don't they! But quite Expensive. Or the Glock which would be a 5 pot version, I would just have to enlarge the small switch hole a little bit, so that would look good.they sound good apparently and about half the price of the east!! but i'm on a buy british trip at the moment http://www.thomann.de/gb/glockenklang_3band_electronic.htm What make are the Humbuckers on your fretted bass. I am looking to do only mods that don't require to much wood Bashing in other words Reversible! Once again Cheers ped
  18. Hi ped The bass looks great watched its progress over the years. What make are the rotary control knobs , they look great modern looking but at the same time look similar to the originals . I have a Vigier Passion its a vintage White one the same as the one in Bass-direct, I am planing to swap out the electrics they are getting noisy and are totally illogical in use, Those nobs on yours would look great. Was thinking of using a glockenklang 5 pot or a John East unit but that's for another post !

    Hi All

    Hi All Another newbie to you wonderful forum been playing for about 40 years on an off mostly off of late got my first proper bass in 1969 when I was 17 and it was a well used 64 precision bass which I refinished in natural and later sold it to Roy woods wizard’s bass player over the years I have had just about every make of old school bass guitars Gibson’s, Ricks etc through to more modern basses Like Warwick’s and at present Have a Steinberger XM2 the second I have owned this one I would never Sell I love it and My new love a Vigier passion Carbon is probably the best Bass I have ever owned I have a couple of 6 string basses as well although I don’t no why a Mania and a BTB Ibanez My rig is a Swr Super redhead and a Son of Beartha Cab have used Swr for for as long as I can remember maybe 18 years starting with sm 400 I think they are still the best any way that’s all I can remember about myself, your probably all bored stiff by now Once again Hi All
