Unknown Gibbie pickup

Hey all!

Anyone recognises this puppy?

I do.

Voilà! Third bass from the top, the legendary/object of derision in this inane forum only 20/20, a Ned Steinberger design at the advent of Gibson taking over near bankrupt Steinberger Guitars in the late eighties.

Except for the gold lettering, the pup is very reminiscent of the pups of an RD Artist. A very hifi sound made for (and only loved in) the eighties. Both the RD Artist and the 20/20 were always in active mode. Great for getting that much missed Mark King "Lessons of Love" sound. Gaffa tape that thumb!

Like me, Bernard doesn't take someone serious who thinks guys in flip flops on stages are cool

[Basvarken]

You got that wrong: he takes people with unusual stage outfits very serious...

Flip flops (or sandals, for that matter) aren't cool ANYWHERE.

[Basvarken]

Yes they are

Man! That's Bernard Duur in a kimono? I would pay someone for not posting this...

About flip  flops. See another topic somewhere in the cafe or so.

Oh, Lord - we don't want to go there - I can go on for hours about this, since it's a pet peeve of mine. I used to play in a band where the guitarist used to go onstage in flip flops. One night, he broke his favorite pair, and I THOUGHT I was safe. The next day he shows up in a lovely blue terrycloth pair that had little sailboats on the sides - just to piss me off.
