The Musicyo Steinberger headless with body was the XZ series bass; I have an XZ5, and aside from the somewhat generic tone of the EMG select humbuckers (I'll get around to replacing someday), I love mine, very solid and balanced, easy to play. Assuming you set expectations accordingly for a Korean built Steinberger, it's FAR better than I had expected and I would recommend picking one up if you come across one reasonably priced and in very good condition.
I also have a Washburn Bantam- might appear to be a Steinberger clone but actually is an alder body with a maple set neck, rosewood board, and a proprietary bridge and nut design that uses normal strings. Excellent tone from the passive humbuckers- and the first bass I ever got with a very cool locking input jack.
The most rare headless lefty I ever had was a Kramer Voyager (essentially a bodied version of the Kramer Duke) that I sold several years back. You don't see those everyday but there's probably a few out there somewhere....BTW, that transparent blue is the original factory finish.
