Where have all of the 20/20's gone??

[Grog]

It's been almost two years since the JMJ 20/20 sold on Ebay, I haven't seen one since. One popped up & sold on Gbase when I wasn't looking, but that's about it.

They never popped up with much frequency before, but it's like they disappeared! Where have all the Fugly basses gone??

[Dave W]

Any idea how many were made?

[Grog]

The consensus on this board was probably less than 100. Walter Carter thought about 12, we figured that to be quite low.............

[planetgaffnet]

I'd play one of those.  No seriously, I would.

[Dave W]

There just about have to be more than 12. But if there were less than 100, then no surprise that you haven't seen any for a couple of years.

[planetgaffnet]

What would be a decent price for one of these,  I wonder?

[Highlander]

No idea on a price but I presume that these are all in the hands of collectors now...

Uwe and Jules have one each... is it Grog that has a brace...?

[Dave W]

Jules paid just under $500 for his, that was over four years ago. Grog paid much less than that for his first one but IIRC quite a bit more for his second.

Back in the closet where they belong

The 80's are making a come back really!

[Grog]

I paid too much for both of them. My Luna Silver one was for sale at Mike's Music for over a year at $1,000.00. I offered him $800.00. I ended up getting it for $900.00, including shipping and a modifiable hard shell case. I think I held the record for over paying for one when I bought the Ferrari Red bass, $1280.00 plus shipping, but it was super clean. The JMJ bass went for about $50.00 more, so I got out of that record! If I would have bought the JMJ bass before his road manager bought it, I think I could have had it for $350.00, they were asking $500.00.

[Aussie Mark]

I think I just found two of them ....

Aaargh! Cricket! My eyes!

I believe anybody buying a 20/20 these days is a committed case and will stick (no pun intended) with it without batting (pun intended) an eyelid. They are period pieces by now.
