L-2

Guitar & Bass by Steinberger

The Steinberger L-2 is a headless electric bass introduced in 1980, built from a one-piece moulded graphite and carbon fibre composite body and neck with no conventional headstock. Its dense synthetic construction gives it a notably even, resonant tone free of the dead spots common in wooden basses, and it requires purpose-made double-ball-end strings.
