The one was a Ricky ChrIs Squier bass tobacco stained to fine patina. Unremioveable as both the seller and I found. Plus some issues that only the Mellow one might find interesting. The guys at Acadia studio took it off my hands.
These two are a dilemma. The Guilembric on the left just feels so perfect in my hand. The Steinie was an XP -2 when I bought it. It's now an XP-2a thanks to new pickups from Don at Headless USA. The "a" means active.
This is my third XP-2a and by far my favorite. I've bought and used five or six XL models as well. I've come to prefer the XP because it's a bolt on. The gent suggested a slight reset which further improved on my two day battle with the Steinberger tailpiece and claws.
Now I have two more basses where one or none would have sufficed. I am blessed
