2020 20/20 Reissue, Where are you????

[Grog]

A 20/20 for sale in Italy, same town where my Guild Starfire appeared few years ago. She looks clean and has still plastic sheet on the pickguard

Are you going to buy it? Being close to home and all....... Only the second NOS I recall seeing.

Pronto per favore!

No, I'm not going to buy her, at least not at that price. Cannot justify a new bass when I'm not playing since long time

[Grog]

The perfect bass always pops up at the worst possible time! I hesitated & ended up paying double (twice). Make the guy a reasonable offer & see if he bites..... That’s about $250 more than I paid for my Ferrari Red bass over ten years ago. By the time I bought the NOS neck & paid to have it finished & installed on the silver one, I must be just about there also.



On another note, mine doesn’t seem to have the cracks on the horn as talked about earlier. We have a term here, “Minnesota Mint” due to the extreme weather conditions here. Mine doesn’t get out much, but it was purchased from Ohio.....

You're the only person ON EARTH with two 20/20ies (or one 40/40 if you're a math guy), you know that right?

Well 2 20/20 makes 40/20 if I am not wrong . Actually have already two clones. My wife will not understand why I would buy a third ugly bass, and actually I am trying to save to buy a new green non-reverse when they will come out

If Gibson would have reissued it, I would have had to buy a third........ This is the only bass in my herd that my wife thinks is fugly. I wonder if Felix Pappalardi would have any advice as to how far to stretch ones wife’s patience........

If only Gail's issue with Felix was the number of basses he had...

Now don't give my wife any ideas!

Come to think of it, Felix' error in judgement was perhaps an over-application of the old saying "you can never really have enough basses" to interpersonal relationships? That really miffs some people. Hell hath no fury like a woman's scorn.

@tore00: Oh my, you have just shattered my algebra self-confidence for good! Talk about pulling the rug from underneath one ... Darn math professor.
