Well that's what he's calling it. I'm calling it a parts bass. There's no known Steiny body shape that matches this, and the neck and body have a funky mismatched bind (Looks like somebody just sawed the neck off one bass and added another), so other than the bridge and maybe the knobs NOT a Steiny.

There is just nothing attractive about that body... and for two-grand? Good luck on that....

Righthand wood neck with some type of fabricated/machined part to hold strings behind nut.
Set neck with trussrod cover at heel?
(The original Steinberger XM series had graphite necks bolted to body)
It's definitely a "kustom".

Wow.The bridge is an actual Steinberger bridge, rather than a licensed bridge. That is surprising.
