They apparently sound great, really good reproductions of classic basses but the feel of instrument is apparently very cheap and not too great. Playability isn't meant to be too great either...

I'm not going to save up for a Line 6 (which was an original idea) because of the lack of frets... Call me picky, but from now on, I need to be able to easily reach atleast the 21st.

Yea, I've played it, it's alright, it's got GREAT sounds, it's raelly amazing, it would be so much better if they felt just as good as they sounded.

I've heard they feel like a jazz. Nothing bad there.

Hey, has anyone else played Steinbergers?

Jaco Jr: I checked the site, and it seems you played an old Z series; the new ones are slimmer and lighter.

THe variaxes are brilliant! Ive played one for about 6 hours over the course of a week when I was working in a music shop.

They are soooo versatile and I can get so many tones out of it its amazing! And the neck is a really nice size and feels great. The only problem is there are hollow spots and theres a hollow spot under the strings and near the G string, which annoyed me when my fingers were hitting the hollow pickguard area when popping

Jame: If you stare at your avatar, it seems to be getting faster and faster every time...

his avatar makes meh feel sick... :upset:

I did it then, and it actually does. And who here actually plans on buying a Line 6 Variax bass? *raises hand*

So... No one has played a Steinberger :upset:?

I dont plan on buying one unless im really rich :thumb:


My avatar is the best in the world!

I can't say I've played a Steinberger.

[QUOTE=lemoley]i have i have , i played the headless one at sound control (manchester) on thursday it was wierd lol but had good tone :wave:[/QUOTE]

They are all headless.

So, it was good :)?

Hey DFIA. Hows it going?

[QUOTE=Radiobass81]They are all headless.

So, it was good :)?[/QUOTE]

oh i didnt know that :upset:

and yeah it had a really nice warm tone and was well worth the money (plus allie bar bar plays one ;) )

:)

I'll get one soon. I will, however, by the XZ-2, which do not look like brooms, so are nto as comfortable (seeing as the L series and the others are considered the most comfortable basses ever).

Not too bad...I discovered what you guys mean when you say country music is a crowd pleaser....i got a few solos at my mini gig and that was one of them and everyone was clapping(just did the verse-ish thing and the chorus)

[QUOTE=Radiobass81]How does it sound? What model? Was it worth it?[/QUOTE]

It is a Steinberger Spirit Pro (I think), good sound off of it but not a very natural tone. Good for metal and blues but not too great clean imo. Not a bad guitar though, worth the price at about £300.

good luck then radiobass hope you find one

Nice.

Another one of my friend's picked up an instrument; saxophone :).

Maybe he can join us (the band) in a year or so, hopefully sooner, as I now want to play some Spyro Gyra.

Thanks Katana and lemoley :).
