That Luna Silver has yellowed to golden!
Golden showers.
Maybe it was used as a mash paddle for mixing beer.......
Also, the serial number is a quite a bit later than the two of mine. My two are only two numbers apart. Mine start with an 831*****.
If I recall correctly, Rob's, Uwe's & Jules basses were all pretty close to mine also.

That's nothing new here, Jake has a pee stain Triumph. He's Canadian and didn't think too much of it. With the winter temperatures they have there, you can't go outside of the log cabin for each and every leak. Besides, the urine keeps the bass from freezing, old

US Steinbergers have shot up in value the past few years, so this doesn't surprise me. Word must have gotten around.
It's a design classic, it really is.

Very Teutonic. All the straight lines give it a kinda Speer / Reichstag / Zeppelinfeld feel, especially in betongrau.
That's an insult to Ned Steinberger, the Nazis despised cubism, it was "entartete Kunst"!

Nazi design would have stuck pillars on the poor 20/20 - they were obsessed with those.

The color is kind of growing on me, (is there anybody here that collects for fins?). I wonder if it was hangin on the wall of a smoke shop for the last 25 years......... If it does sell for close to the asking price, Gibson lost out on a cash cow by not issuing the 2020 20/20 reissue..........
Price is dropping...... Down to $2,777.77.
Down to $2,500.......... Going once......
The guy is still hanging in there. He is allowing bidding with a mere "Buy It Now" price of $3,777.77. I don't imagine that the reserve will be met. This "Golden Gem" may end up being orphaned for a long time.........
