the Ultimate Travel BassThe Steinberger XT-2 Standard 4-string Electric Bass Outfit is the Ultimate Travel Bass and features the innovative Steinberger body design, patented DoubleBall™ Bass Bridge, Patented 40:1 Ratio Direct-Pull tuning system, powerful Steinberger HB pickups and comes with a deluxe gigbag. The XT-2 Standard Bass is part of Steinberger’s new Spirit Collection and is available in Black, Frost Blue, Hot Rod Red, Hot Rod Yellow, White, and Yin Yang Gloss finishes.
Ned Steinberger’s guitars and basses were completely unique when they were first introduced in 1979. With their lightweight and headless design, Steinberger basses are still bold, modern instruments that provides both a smooth tonal response with rock solid intonation at any position on the neck.
The XT-2 Standard Electric Bass Outfit features the revolutionary Steinberger Bass design with a Basswood body and 3-piece Hard Maple neck that together resonate as a single piece of wood. The XT-2 is the Ultimate Travel Bass™ for traveling musicians. With a scale length of 38.5” and weighing just 7.5lbs, its ergonomic design makes it easy to take anywhere including overhead airline compartments.
Thanks to its headless construction and 3-piece Hard Maple neck, the XT-2 isn’t as sensitive to temperature changes, which makes it virtually indestructible! The neck has a comfortable 1960's style SlimTaper™-D profile, 24 medium jumbo frets, a 34” scale length, and a 14” radius. A folding leg rest is also added and sits compactly on the lower bout of the body. A deluxe padded gigbag is included.

Patented DoubleBall Bass Bridge
Ultimate StabilityJust like Steinberger guitars, their basses are renowned for their exceptional tone and intonation at all positions. With no headstock, the XT-2 has a Zero Nut Fret with a width of 1.50” that moves up to 2.156” at the 12th fret as the neck subtly widens to 0.70” string spacing at the bridge. The Patented 40:1 Ratio Direct-Pull tuning system and Patented DoubleBall™ Bass Bridge with steel saddle offers incredible stability and sustain.
Without a headstock, the weight of the XT-2 feels more balanced than a typical electric bass. Fine tuning adjustments are made at the bridge and string changes are a quick task.
Revolutionary Steinberger Bass Design
Superb Steinberger PickupsThe sheer power of the Steinberger XT-2 Standard comes from the full tone HB-1 (bridge) and HB-2 (neck) humbucker pickups. Controls feature black Steinberger style knobs for Neck Pickup Volume, Bridge Pickup Volume, and Master Tone.
