I've wanted a 'Steiny L2 for over 30 years but could never come up with the cash - I had only recently decided to pick up the cheap Gibson version ( Spirit by Steinberger ) until shipping delays and frustration led me to the B2ADB - The best thing that could have happened! I am SO glad I bought the Hohner - It is a close match to the original L-2 and has an active preamp that makes that Steinberger growl that I've dug for so long! It is totally comfortable to play and is perfectly balanced - You don't need a hook for this bass to hang correctly. The only complaint I have is the accessories - A page was included that covers tremolo adjustment only (huh?) and no user manual to explain the concentric pot or adjustment screw in the back access cover. The allen wrenches supplied don't fit the bridge set screws no bridge adjustment or string changing instructions - And no Gig bag included for a bass package priced at $729 seems wrong. Those criticisms aside, I absolutely LOVE this axe and I can't seem to put it down. I am subtracting a point only for the poor accessory package, not the playability, sound and vibe.
I must say that the sales support folks at MusiciansBuy (Zach and Mark) were VERY helpful and went out of their way to help me to plan for the delivery straight from the Hohner facility (It was not in stock). They called Hohner and called me right back (in less than 10 minutes!) to tell me that my bass was in setup and would be shipped that day. they called again to get me their FedEx tracking number and called me again within 10 minutes. Outstanding on-line merchant, A+ customer support. MusiciansBuy is my new Guitar Center !
I will be digging this little beauty for many years to come. This is the best licensed Steinberger on the market, don't settle for the other one out there!
