Steinberger Spirit XT-2DB Standard Bass Black

The Steinberger XT-2DB Standard is the Ultimate Travel Bass™, designed with portability, performance, and precision in mind. Featuring Steinberger’s revolutionary headless design, the XT-2DB delivers rock-solid tuning stability, comfortable ergonomics, and a tone that remains consistent no matter where you play.

Equipped with the DB-Tuner™ system, this bass allows instant drop tuning of the low E-string down to D, while the 40:1 Direct Pull tuners and patented DoubleBall™ Bass Bridge ensure unmatched accuracy and intonation. The compact 38.5” length and light 7.5 lb weight make it airline-friendly and perfect for traveling musicians.

Powerful Steinberger HB-1 and HB-2 humbuckers provide full, punchy tone with clarity across the frequency spectrum. Controls include independent neck and bridge volume knobs plus a master tone control for flexible sound shaping. Built with a basswood body, 3-piece maple neck, and a 24-fret engineered hardwood fingerboard, the XT-2DB is both durable and highly playable.

Each instrument comes with a folding leg rest for seated playing and includes a deluxe padded gigbag. Optional hard case available.
