I think it's been over two years since one of these beauties have popped up. Any takers?

Do it! You know you want to!
Who could resist those graceful lines and tastefully applied graphics? :P
Great bass!
And certainly a head-turner.
I'll wait a couple of years for the reissue. hehehe.

They'll f*ck that up for sure.
It's a nice enough example. I'll be surprised if he gets much more than his starting bid, unless two or more Outposters get in a Christmas bidding war.
This Outposter already has two. It's time to spread the cheer to another open minded bassist!

Also - thankfully so - a real head-tuner.
But it's true what Rob says, I've never seen anyone in a band - even the most vintage obsessed guitarists that would never be caught with a guitar shaped like that - be dismissive of the looks of my 20/20. There are a lot of things right about it. It's a puristic, functional design, Ned put some thought into it. The only real surprise I get is when people ask incredulously:
"Oh, it's actually made of wood?" That always seems to defeat expectations, to a lot of people paddle = not wood, the first Steinbergers created a lasting perception.
As modernistic 80ies basses go, it's a classic like the Kubicki Factor.
And if you wear a cape with it, chances are that people think you are the keyboarder and you will get some girls too for once!

Keytar players get the girls? News to me. And what cape?

Believe or not yesterday evening I played my clone for the first time rehearsing with my band.It was very much appreciated.

With or without cape, Gregg got all the girls he wanted.

I have no idea who he is. And since he plays a keytar, why should I care?
I'm not sure what you're trying to say with that plethora of Greg Giuffria pictures, Uwe?
Is it the more you look like a girl, the more girls you get?
Or should he just have been a member of Stryper?
(https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tFmK6Z5SmVo/maxresdefault.jpg)
I was thinking he looked quite like Randy Rhodes in some of those shots...
But maybe... just maybe... nah... but... could be a subliminal thing... a Freudian slip... hmm...
Did Uwe just have a Terry Bozio/Punky meadows moment...? ;)

Meanwhile... zero bids on the 20/20...
Come on guys. You know you want one.
It seems like they are only showing up about once every two years lately. Another two years (2020) the reissue could be out, making the originals even more sought after. LOL. Hard to believe that this year marked the thirtieth anniversary of this unique model. Celebrate by owning a piece of history today!!!
I'm curious as to what Uwe's Google Search field looked like for that one.
"Giuffria moose knuckle", maybe?
Billy...! I'm shocked...! :vader:
Relisted at $1100 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gibson-Steinberger-20-20-Bass-Guitar-/322957315797?)
I would buy but I have my hybrid. Maybe if it was Ferrari red.
Now on auction. Wonder how much is the reserve price.

Reserve price auctions are so out of fashion, and eBay now charges a higher fee for them. If you want an auction sale, just list it for the minimum you'll take, with no reserve. This seller can't seem to decide what he wants.

I went to see Punky couple weeks back...
Gregg has gone from (not any more androgynous than other hair metallers and ANGEL kinda invented the look) male pin-up to credible Senate candidate.
What happened to Frankie Dimino's original classic wop curls?

That's a wig he wears these days, right? He should form a duo with Joe Lynn Turner.

You might be right. The wop curls have been known to disappear over time. Just ask this guy -

You mean Satriani once had hair? :o
Balding with the alien.
I actually like the guy (and not just because he saved Purple's ass after Blackmore's walk-out, giving them a new lease of life until Morse arrived). Unlike a lot of other virtuosos, he has a really warm personality.

...and he was Kirk Hammett's guitar teacher as youngster. So if you want to connect the dots between Hammet's UFO-obsessed leads and the metal songs that made him famous, Joe Satriani is that link.
When I was in my twenty I followed a lot Satriani. After that i forgot about him and realized that lost his hair only when I went to a G3 concert in Milan where Robert Fripp was playing with him and Steve Vai
More chromey than me... :mrgreen:

It must be one of the worst hair pieces in rock.
He looks like a parody.

Laugh at me, but in the realms of what Metallica does (and they do it well though I'm not a fan), Hammett's style is tasteful and surprisingly non-shreddy.
I only knew that Satriani was Vai's guitar teacher.

From our last rehearsals: southern 20/20
Very nice! Looks like you guys were having a good time. :toast:
Way cool!!
I was really surprised of how cool 20/20 looks
:mrgreen:
You could get away with it at a gun show. NRA signature bass. :mrgreen:
I have a somewhat old Guitar Synthesizer, A Roland GR-20. I never have used the bass voices because I have a bass or two on hand all the time. I just happened to look at the options the other day & was surprised at what I noticed. No P-Bass, No EB-0, No Ric....... But a 2020 Bass!

I wouldn't put it past Henry. He did put out the Government Series.
:mrgreen: Too true.
Sorry guys.. I am a truly no-firearm-and-any-other-item-intended-to-hurt person. My weapons are noisy but hurting your ears only if you are too close to loudspeaker.
And I am experiencing a ramping desire of a Ferrari red 20/20. Since I do not expect that anybody is going to offer one to me , at a reasonable price for my wife , maybe I will build one by myself
The red ones are more rare than the, uhum, gun-grey ones, but eventually one will show up.
