{"product_id":"steinberger-l2-bass-usa-1982","title":"Steinberger L2 Bass - USA 1982","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHere is a Steinberger L2 headless bass, one of the most iconic and forward-thinking electric bass designs to emerge in the modern era. Created by Ned Steinberger, the L2 represented a radical departure from traditional bass construction, prioritising ergonomics, stability, and engineering precision over conventional wooden instrument design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe L2 was developed around a minimalist, headless format that eliminates the traditional headstock entirely, resulting in improved balance, reduced weight, and exceptional tuning stability. Its compact, travel-friendly form factor made it immediately distinctive, while also offering a highly practical solution for working musicians.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA defining feature of the instrument is its construction from graphite carbon composite material rather than traditional tonewoods. This ultra-stiff material eliminates many of the inconsistencies associated with wooden necks, including dead spots and uneven resonance. The rigidity of the design is such that the neck requires no truss rod, maintaining consistent stability across all playing environments.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTonally, the L2 delivers a clear, focused, and highly consistent response across the entire fretboard. Its articulate low end and even string response make it particularly effective for precision playing, studio recording, and modern performance contexts where reliability and consistency are essential.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis example is presented in excellent condition, with no significant marks or cosmetic wear. The frets remain in superb shape, the neck is perfectly straight, and all electronics function correctly. It remains a fully operational and well-preserved example of this landmark design.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSpecifications: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1982\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e: USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steinberger L2 Bass\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon graphite composite finish\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon graphite composite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck\u003c\/strong\u003e: Carbon graphite composite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard\u003c\/strong\u003e: Composite fingerboard with white dot inlays\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25.5\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickups\u003c\/strong\u003e: EMG active pickups (neck and bridge)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControls\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neck volume, bridge volume, master tone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel two-piece bridge with separate tuner assembly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuners\u003c\/strong\u003e: Integrated bridge tuners (original)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCase\u003c\/strong\u003e: Original hard-shell case\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reemes Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53839007842623,"sku":"RMC-MUS-G98809274","price":2997.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0990\/7535\/9039\/files\/Steinberger_L2_Bass_-_USA_1982.jpg?v=1782094946","url":"https:\/\/www.reemesmusic.com\/products\/steinberger-l2-bass-usa-1982","provider":"Reemes Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
