Here we have a rare, USA-built, Newburgh-issued, silver Steinberger XL2 bass. This was a very limited run of basses built for the Guitar Center music store chain, and are the only fully composite Steinberger basses built that were painted. Rather than the usual process of using colored gel-coat, these were "regular" black basses that were painted in-house in metallic silver. According to the serial numbers, a total of only 30 of these basses were built and shipped. 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 refretted the neck and mirror polished the frets, disassembled, cleaned and lubricated the bridge, and serviced the electronics. Jeff''s restoration work is legendary, as he was the head of production at the Steinberger factory in Newburgh for many years, and his abilities in Steinberger restoration are breathtaking. This bass in now in beautiful condition. There are a few minor scratches (see photos) but overall, this bass is in gorgeous shape. Now that all of this work has been completed, this incredible bass should need no any further attention for the next 25 years. A perfect playing bass that's just been serviced by the world's top Steinberger tech, it plays and performs as well as (or probably better than) the day that it first left the factory. This Steinberger silver XL2 bass will ship in a new black HeadlessUSA gig-bag with a new black cotton strap and a copy of Jeff's work-order. Purchasing your Steinberger from a trusted source is critical when dealing with these advanced technology instruments. Shipping is $75.00 within the 48 lower USA states. Rates for Alaska and Hawaii will vary. We're also happy to ship overseas, so please contact us for an accurate shipping quote. If you have any questions, please e-mail us before ordering. Review our flawless feedback and order with confidence. Your complete satisfaction is our first priority. E-bayers with less than 10 feedbacks must contact us before ordering. We will only ship to a verified and confirmed PayPal address. We reserve the right to cancel this offering at any time. Thank you for your business!
