Steinberger Hardware
Last but not least, the Spirit XT-25 Linksänder Bass from Steinberger offers the innovative attachments from our own house. The obligatory double ballend strings are hooked into the tailpiece at the front of the neck and from there they are guided over a zero fret towards the body. There they stop at the Steinberger Double Ball Bridge, whose Direct Pull tuners with 40:1 ratio guarantee a precise tuning. So that the Bass can also be played sitting down, a leg rest can be folded out on the underside of the body.
Of course we are a long way from the true Steinbergers made in the USA form the past, but the truth is that for the price you pay these are really great basses. They are light, have "the look" and if you're after headless bass guitar this is the way to go.

Nice lightweight guitar. Very playable, and easy on the eye. Packs away well. Dynamic sound, crisp, from top to bottom. Well worth the price. Only one thing. I had hoped for a short scale instrument, but no worries, I don't play very much at the nut end anyway. All in all, a very satisfactory purchase. Thank you. P.S. Nice action.

I must say I LOVE this bass! It required a set up from a luthier, but the resultant sound and feel is pure class. I feel privileged to play such a fine instrument for such moderate price. Anyway the first demo I made with it - got a deal from Sonymusic - so no complaints!

Even with Brexit and the extra hoops international purchasers find themselves facing I have to say I'm impressed. The purchase process was easy and emails arrived in short order. It took a few days extra for the Bass to wing it's way for Germany to me in the UK but again it was no hardship. Excellent company to do business with. When my time comes for an amp upgrade I will be hitting their site.
