Here is your opportunity to own a super-rare, USA-built, purple Steinberger Q5 wide-neck bass. This bass has the later version #2 body, which is much lighter and better balanced than the earlier version. Although we have seen a few of these Q5 basses in the past, this is the only purple one that we've ever had in our inventory. Definitely a rare-bird. This bass was just restored and set-up by Jeff Babicz, who was the former head of production at the Steinberger Sound factory in Newburgh, N.Y. Jeff dressed and polished the frets, disassembled, cleaned and lubricated the bridge, and serviced the electronics. This bass is not a Music-Yo bass with Moses neck. It has a one-piece carbon fiber neck which needs no truss-rod. It is all-original except for an added master volume control. This bass performs amazingly, and is one of the finest playing 5-string basses that we've seen in years. Jeff's abilities in Steinberger restoration are always breathtaking. Now that this restoration work has been completed, this incredible bass should need no further attention for the next 25 years.A perfect playing bass that's been serviced by the world's top Steinberger tech, it now plays and performs as well as (or probably better than) the day that it first left the factory. This purple Steinberger Q5 bass will ship in its original black gig-bag with a new black cotton strap and a copy of Jeff's work-order. Purchasing your Steinberger from a trusted source is imperative when dealing with these advanced technology instruments. Shipping is $75.00 within the USA's lower 48 states.
