After calling around to local guitar shops, I realized that my dream of
regaining a Steinberger XL2 bass was fading into the obscure. I had
resisted placing my faith in the Internet or online auction websites,
because finding such a rare instrument and in acceptable condition would
seem to demand in-hand verification---preferably prior to payment! But,
after reading the commentary on Guitarsend.com, I realized these instruments
had a strong following of devoted owners, and that the bass that I had once
loved so much might once again find its way back into my hands.
When the bass arrived, I was relieved and elated. The instrument was
exactly as described, but it sounded so great, and played so well, that
I felt I got more than I bargained for.
