Jules Haffegee made and excellent video of the 20/20!

Nice job running it through different tone possibilities! Not many out there in Ferrari Red.

Very popular in The Netherlands and pretty much nowhere else.

I think there's exactly one person in The Netherlands who thinks they're awesome.

And maybe 5 or 6 more on the rest of the planet.

And now everybody knows how the 20/20 they might come across one day will sound on their Lab Series L2 amp

Seriously, I like this vid. Every Gibson bass needs a good non-shop-guy-focus presentation on a real amp.
That is Fly Jules, right?

Close to 50% of the local population then - like I said.

Could there be one on Mars? Ancient Alien Theorists say YES!

This is just part 1 - dealing with the 20/20 controls. Part 2 (to follow) demonstrates the AWESOME Lab L2 midrange frequency control.

I've been in the valve = good, SS = lame camp for years, but that is changing. The Lab series amps are incredible, and usually very affordable. Controls (like all late 70s Gibson stuff) need to be mastered in order to get the best, but these are INCREDIBLE amps.

My third 20/20 video (also to follow) demos it through a valve amp - a Marshall 2061X 20w lead/bass reissue. Again incredible amp!

Never heard a Lab, at least - not yet. I work with tube amps on a daily basis, but it's always fun when transistor amps of proper design comes in to the shop. And yes, prices are usually good too. Just a shame people still compare good ones to the first fender/marshall transistor efforts, or even more recent class d amps without hearing them.

As a sidenote, last week I got this Allsound Leslie (made in Germany) 'stack' in for tube change and general service. The owner, who plays in an outfit that was active in the late 70's, wanted it tip top as the band got a 70's record reissued, and they did some shows still. He was more than surprised when I told him that it was a transistor amp, but I must say - anything you plugged into this amp sounded really good..

He looks hyper concentrated. Not very relaxed.

He sounds Hyper Concentrated. Not a lot of content out there lately fo the 20/20 connoisseur.
