1988 Steinberger XM2 Headless Electric Bass Black + OGB

Another quality Guitar from Lovies Guitars!

Lovies Guitars is excited to present this 1988 Steinberger XM2 Headless Electric Bass finished in Black. The Steinberger XM2 is an iconic instrument from one of the most innovative eras in bass design. Known for its compact, headless construction, incredible tuning stability, and effortless playability, the XM2 became a favorite among touring professionals for its reliability, balanced feel, and unmistakably modern aesthetic. Built during the golden age of Steinberger innovation, this bass continues to be highly sought after by players and collectors alike.

The XM2 delivers a focused, punchy tone with exceptional clarity and articulation across the entire frequency spectrum. Its active electronics provide a wide range of tonal flexibility, making it equally capable of tight, aggressive rock tones, articulate slap sounds, and warm fingerstyle response. The compact body and headless design eliminate neck dive while offering superb balance and comfort during long performances.

Finished in classic Black, the XM2 has the unmistakable futuristic styling that made Steinberger famous while remaining incredibly practical for modern musicians. Lightweight, roadworthy, and built for performance, this bass continues to stand as one of the most innovative electric bass designs ever produced.

This bass is all original (OG) and comes complete with its Original Gig Bag (OGB).

Condition: 8.5/10 - Very Good. Honest player wear throughout including buckle rash on the back, along with light cosmetic wear across the front and back of the bass. Overall, it remains structurally sound, plays exceptionally well, and retains the character expected of a well-maintained vintage Steinberger.
