Pete Academy Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I have a 1983 Steinberger L2 bass, purchased in that year. Serial number 610. It has the push-in knee rest. The logo is a sticker and not the one stamped into the body. I replaced the single tone pot with an EMG dual concentric bass/treble active one many years ago. Unfortunately, I don't have the original pot and knob. The battery plate is split but still intact. I also have a Steinberger gig bag, but it has worn at the top and the bass pokes through. For anyone that has Tony Bacon's Ultimate Guitar Book, this is the actual bass pictured in the book. I am open to offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGit Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Pictures and a ball park would help you sell it, I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xgsjx Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Oooh! So that's what happens if you get the A & the D strings mixed up when restringing & try tuning the A to D? Have another bump. I wanted one of these in the late 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a revelation when I first tried one in the Basscenter way back when. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JanSpeeltBas Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Let them laugh, this piece of plastic sounds better than most of the custom made exotic wood basses proudly owned by... Anyway, I sold mine last year for 1500 euro's and the guy who bought it felt it was a real good deal. For those interested: these L2's sound rather different than the later XL2 models, partly because of the different pickups. I find the sound of L2's more traditional P-bass like - XL's sound more modern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
