I once read that they were a limited run of a couple of hundred. Maybe people just keep them as they are good basses and the resale value was low up until very recently!!! The red ones are more rare though.

I missed a Luna Silver one a few months back. It was on Craigslist for $250.00.

The Ferrari Red 20/20 arrived today. It was extremely well packed & had no issues, (except my wife thought it was the ugliest bass I'd ever dragged home!). I mentioned earlier that my Luna Silver bass wanted to be re-united with it's Redneck brother. As it turns out, the serial numbers were only 2 numbers apart! The Luna Silver ended in 89 & The Ferrari Red ended in 91. All of the other numbers matched. Uwe & Jules, when you get a chance, check your serial no's & see how close they are to these.

Did she not see the silver one?

She did, but it was 3 to 4 years ago. I think she's lost track of my GAS problem. She was even less impressed when I showed her the silver one.

You must be - and no doubt will remanin - the only person on earth to own two of these beasts. Love it! I don't feel so weird now anymore.

A very nice pair!  Now you need to get these 2 Ned creations that I owned several years back.

In an odd way, I was drawn to these............ To keep my collection from getting way out of hand, I only collect Gibson stuff. The 20/20 kinda let me sneak off into Steinberger territory.

Thanks for checking! I checked the pictures you had posted and I could read all of the numbers but the last 2. These 3 basses are within sequence of 6 serial numbers.  If Uwe's is close also, it could lead some insight into how rare these dogs really are.  :thumbsup:

Congrats on your new 20/20!  They look much better than any of the other headless basses out there.

iirc, Uwe keeps his in pride-of-place...

iirc there was no Futura bass - something for our luthier buddies to take up... Shadow, you should take up the mantle for this lady... ;)
