BASSISACE Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) For sale is my 1986 Steinberger XL2 complete original soft case and additional hard case. In GC for a 29 y/o bass, I've had to replace the pick up jaws - very common with XL2s The pick up screws shows signs of corrosion, bass has additional strap hooks in body Plays and sounds amazing, no issues The bass was bought from Basschat moderator Nick Smith several years ago, I've been told previous owners were JJ Burnel and Andy Pearsons from The Beat. Unfortunately I have no other documentation of JJ Burnel ownership. Free postage within the UK only Assuassurances of professional and honest sale throughout PM if interested Thanks for looking Andy Edited November 6, 2015 by BASSISACE
MattM Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 There's a legendary apocryphal tale about JJ trying out an XL2 in a music shop and the assistant bashes it several times off a wall to illustrate its indestructability. Obviously not this one as its in great nick, I have an 84 XL2 which this puts to shame. GLWTS
BASSISACE Posted October 29, 2015 Author Posted October 29, 2015 Hi Mellow No trade, I am downsizing I have another 4 basses, thank you Andy
ezbass Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I was only listening the Geddy Lee playing one of these on the Grace Under Pressure tour yesterday on youtube; amazing, huge tone. GLWTS.
HengistPod Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 If additional provenance is required, you could always get hold of JJ and ask him ... particularly if the bass has any distinguishing features (such as extra strap buttons as mentioned). I have a Custom Shop Thunderbird which I was told was built for Floyd London of the Almighty, which I'd always taken with a pinch of salt. However, I eventually thought I'd contact him and he confirmed that it was certainly originally his (replacement slightly wonky machine heads positively identified it) and even sent me a pic of himself playing it at Manchester Arena.
Cairobill Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Legendary basses. Just so fantastic in so many ways...
