    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

    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 :)

    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

    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 !
