Title: Reverb has yet another Gibson 20/20 Bass............

I haven't checked for a while, (I must be slipping!). I run across this one yesterday. Interesting that it seems to fit in a Gator HSC.I had to make an insert for a Chinese case for both of mine. With an extra hole in the pickguard, it must have had some modification at one time.

The one that Uwe owns has an extra hole (plus potentiometer) too. Except it's on the other side of the line of knobs.

That sounds so wrong, what is happening?

Not necessarily, so few of these were made that maybe any one or two exceptions can be called transitional.

Rob's phrasing was unfortunate and prone to cause misunderstandings, I don't penetrate my basses from behind!

As long as the knobs are on the front...
