Steinberger Bass Jaws for USA-Built: L2, XL2, XM2, XP2 & Q: 4-String & 5-string

Description: FOR USA BUILT STEINBERGER BASSES ONLY! The metal bass jaws for original USA built vintage Steinberger basses are the most common broken parts that we see here at the HeadlessUSA Steinberger Guitar & Bass Restoration Center. Unfortunately, the metal used for the original string jaws was of low quality, so they invariably begin to fail and break over time. We have purchased, examined and studied many different examples of modern Steinberger bass replacement jaws over the years, and we've always found these modern jaws lacking in some important aspect. Either the metal work was not professionally machined, or the size specifications were not quite correct, and some were even the wrong color! So, once again, we "bit the bullet" and began to research and design our own jaws. We are in the extremely enviable position of having the former head of production at the original Newburgh Steinberger factory as the designer of these new parts, and the quality of these jaws is simply amazing. Jeff Babicz undertook the task of overseeing this project, and the results were well worth the wait. Plus, these jaws are made right here in the USA! Our jaws are made from solid billets of high-carbon steel for maximum strength and durability and will last the lifetime of your bass. Jeff has worked on hundreds of these bridges over the years and has determined that the best solution for smooth operation and minimum wear is by adding a combination of both metal and plastic washers. He has also found that these moving parts should be lubricated to ensure the best quality of operation, so we are including the washers and a container of professional lubricating grease with every order at no charge.You can purchase as many jaws as you'd like, depending on how many on your bridge need to be replaced. Since virtually every original jaw will eventually fail, we strongly recommend replacing them all at one time. Each jaw order contains: one bass jaw, one threaded rod, two metal thrust washers, and one nylon thrust washer, so, if you have a typical 4-string bass, and you'd like to replace all of your jaws, you'll need to order 4. We'll also include one free tube of lubricating grease with each order. Shipping is regardless of the quantity ordered. We are also happy to ship overseas. International shipping is regardless of the quantity ordered.Don't be misled by lesser quality "competitors" jaws. These are the ONLY Steinberger bass jaws offered by HeadlessUSA and designed by the former head of production at Steinberger, Jeff Babicz. * NOTE!!: These jaws are only intended for use in original USA-built Steinberger 4 & 5-string basses. These jaws will NOT fit on any of the Steinberger bass copies, such as the Steinberger Spirits, Hohner headless basses, or any other Asian-built wooden models. If your bass has a neck built of wood, these jaws will NOT work! Any questions? Please message us before ordering. Thank you for your business.
