There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.

I played Steve's 5 XL2 when he was over here from the UK post quake
The string spacing was too snug for me but yeah a nice bass. I've never really been sold on 34" scale 5's either but the B string on this was good.

Hiya, That's my Steinberger XL-2 in the Duke clip. Got it in late 84. Serial number in the early 2000s. Has the plug in leg rest and silk-screened logo. A friend has a an L2 (I think) - it had a sticker logo and the faceplate attaches from the front. The serial number is pre-800.

Two '70s Fenders and a XL2, nice.

If ya mates Steinberger is serial sub 800 that's an L2 (bolts in front) from the Newburgh shop in Brooklyn. 3 came into NZ one each to Auckland , Wellington, Chch. IIRC they retailed at above 3K. I have the 'Wellington' L2. I got it in 1990(?) third owner.

Fecking great basses.
