Tried to buy a 2nd 20/20!!
« on: November 09, 2010, 05:27:15 PM »
Surfing around the country on Craigslist, I came across a Gibson 20/20 in St Louis for $250.00. I tried contacting the owner & he never responded until after it sold.... He described it as "The perfect size for a petite female or a child, but if you're a big guy it'll probably look too small". It just wasn't meant to be! Maybe two 20/20's under one roof would have a negative effect on the world as we know it!?!  :o :o :o

That's just being plain greedy... ;)
The random mind of a Silver Surfer...
If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Having two 20/20s in the house would come in handy for a backyard game of cricket when any British or Australian friends come to visit.

Cheers

If there is one thing the 20/20 is not, then it is small. It's a long bass with a hunk of a neck, not petite at all. Fir a paddle bass, the body feels reasonably substantial.

It was "Luna Silver". Yours is still the only Ferrari Red one I've ever seen!

I never thought I'd see the day where Jules inquires about a 20/20 without derision. One of my great untold propaganda victories here. : - )

It took me about a year, to muster up the courage to buy the first one, but for $250.00, it was a no brainer. The back of the neck on mine is a little funky, if I could have landed this one, I might have swapped the necks.  :o
