Steinberger Xl2-5a Wide Neck ! One Of The 65


Recommended Posts

Posted

La perle de chez Steinberger, seulement 65 produites entre 94 et 98, manche large WIDE NECK et non l'étroit comme souvent chez NS (4 cordes sur lequel on a placé 5 cordes "narrow neck").

Dans un état irréprochable, un véritable graal de la basse

4.4kg

idéal pour tout style

Avec coffre Thoncase

Je préfère le cash mais ouvert à des propositions de même niveau (Alembic par exemple ...)

from Steinbergerworld:

The records I have from Gibson show 63 Wide 5 XL's were invoiced between 1994 and 1998. Breakdown is as follows:

50 black fretted

2 black lefty fretted

4 black unlined fretless

6 white fretted

1 white unlined fretless

Additionally, the log doesn't list the two custom color orders as 5W's

- they list as XLCS (XL custom). One was Mustang yellow, the other

Mustang purple. Have never seen nor heard talk of the purple one.

So official paperwork indicates 65 wide 5 XL's produced total. I do think there are probably a few others out there, as this serial # list isn't complete. I've run across a few instruments that don't show up in them and there are some noticeable gaps. These logs were digital - exported from an old accounting system a few weeks before they decommissioned the server and the data lost for good.
