| STEINBERGER EARLY 1982 L-2 H/LESS BASS. |
| |
- CONDITION: Very Good.
- ALL GRAPHITE.
This is the third and earliest (almost prototype) Steinberger
L-2 Bass that we have offered for sale. It is serial number 207
and was made in the Sullivan Street, Brooklyn factory on 12th
April 1982 (bit of trivia, ser no# 430 is owned by Sting). It
has been well used but equally well looked after. The frets are
still good. There are small scratches here and there and a couple
of small chips, one on the body and another on the strap holder.
The pivot-plate strap button has worn a groove in the back, above
the locking depression. There are some string grooves in the EMG
pickup housing. It is missing it's plug in leg rest, but has it's
Steinberger padded gig bag. The silk screened Steinberger logo
is all intact (which is very rare on these early basses) apart
from the R at the end. All in all, the bass is in very good shape.
The electronics are also fine. This bass sounds and plays fantastic.
The sustain and tone of the L-2 basses are claimed to be more
desirable due partly in fact of the "knife-edge" type
bridge saddles in contrast to the roller-type saddles used on
the later XL-2 basses. Evidently, they only made up to around
1,300 of these L-2 types in variety of types, but this is the
standard type 4 string model. Other differences are that the access
screws are on the face vs. the back side, a plain bolt-down string
adapter on the nut in lieu of the later adapter on the XL-2's.
Neck and phenolic fret board in very good condition. One of the
best basses ever made. A future collectors classic.
- PRICE………..£1495. inc VAT.
