Yes it does! It's a lot larger than I expected.

I hear that from women all the time.  :-X
We've taken too much for granted ... and all the time it had grown ...
From techno seeds we first planted ... evolved a mind of its own ...

Now I'm having trouble with my head...
Uwe... that's a silver (?) 20/20...
Did I see a red 20/20 in Chris' pics when he visited you, or am I going bananas...? not that you'd ever have more than one of a kind...  ;) and you have 3 RD's?

And what is that natural coloured Gibson semi in the foreground...?

... and for that matter, my ("Exiled") Greek comrade... RD = wierd...?  :o
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

I think that's the only 20/20 he owns.

The natural finish bass in the foreground is his EB-750.

That was (mostly) for the 20/20 and that strange curvy dark bass on the bottom. RDs are not wierd, not much wierder than a pee bass.
Music was better when ugly people were allowed to make it.

I've never seen a redish 20/20, only know it from the historic ad Dave has linked to.n Who knows whether they actually ever hit the market that way. Blue Book mentions only one color, but it is often inaccurate. The standard color was the gold/silver of mine.

The curvy strange bass is a an Epi Scroll bass from the late seventies. It was one of the first models with which they started making decent instruments again. Sounds Grabberish.

Nope, only the grey one was at my pictures, but I think you're confused by this one:



An add to buy this add was/is on eBay for a while and posted here.

It does look good in red, I have to admit. Not that it would have saved the model from having somewhat less than stellar sales!

Darth Vader:  "This is a horny red 20/20. Try it if you dare, young Skywalker".

And then the EB-1 says with a growly tone to the beaten 20/20: "I am your father!"
