All the electronics run through an onboard 18-volt preamp for exceptional headroom. The sonic range that the CR6 Fretless Bass can cover is virtually endless.
The latest Steinberger masterpiece
Ned Steinberger breathed new vision and life into stringed instruments when introducing the L2 bass at Summer NAMM in 1979. Innovatively designed without headstocks, the L2s astonished the music world. Prototypes were quickly sold to such esteemed players as John Entwistle of The Who, Tony Levin of King Crimson, and Andy West of The Dregs. Since then, Steinberger basses and guitars have continued to impress musicians and engineers across the world. Their cutting-edge Headless Tuning systems have introduced a stability that was previously considered impossible. Meanwhile, their Radius body shape, Fusion necks, and EMG humbucking pickup systems allow for an extensive range of tonal possibilities.
