Revolutionary Headless Design: The Steinberger XT-25 features a headless design, offering a compact, ergonomic body that makes it easy to transport. This design also improves balance and reduces weight, making the bass more comfortable for long playing sessions. Its size (38.5” length and 8.2 lbs weight) ensures it fits into overhead compartments, making it the perfect travel bass.

High-Quality Body and Neck Construction: The bass features a Basswood body that provides a smooth tonal response and exceptional resonance. The 3-piece Hard Maple neck adds stability and durability, and its 1960’s SlimTaper™-D profile ensures a comfortable playing experience. The neck’s temperature-resistant construction makes the bass highly durable, performing well in varying environments.

Patented DoubleBall™ Bass Bridge: One of the standout features is the patented DoubleBall™ Bass Bridge, which provides outstanding sustain and tuning stability. The design eliminates the need for a traditional headstock, allowing for a more balanced feel, even with the addition of the 5th string. String changes are fast and easy, thanks to this innovative bridge system.

Steinberger HB Pickups: The XT-25 is equipped with Steinberger HB-1 (bridge) and HB-2 (neck) humbucker pickups. These pickups produce a powerful, full tone suitable for live performances and studio recording. The intuitive controls allow players to adjust neck and bridge pickup volumes as well as the master tone to shape their sound precisely.

Advanced Tuning System: The patented 40:1 Ratio Direct-Pull tuning system ensures highly accurate tuning adjustments. The Zero Nut Fret design allows for quicker string changes, making it user-friendly for both live performances and practice. This system guarantees a stable, pitch-perfect sound across all playing positions on the neck.

Deluxe Gig Bag and Travel-Friendly Features: The XT-25 includes a deluxe gig bag that ensures easy transport and protection. The bass’s design and construction also make it less sensitive to temperature changes, making it virtually indestructible during travel. An optional hard case is available for additional protection during long trips.
