Looks kinda cool, decent condition.  Fortunately not my thing.

I placed a bid 
But I got outbid pretty fast

I have it on my watch list. What do you figure is a good price for a 20/20?

I know many dislike the shape but I think they look awesome. Always have (well since the 1987 catalog anyway).

If it didn't violate my "no bolt-ons" policy I'd consider it

Isn't it generally thought that Gibson made about 100 of them?

[Grog]

Our consensus on this board was likely less than 100. When I emailed Walter Carter a number of years back, he said that he had only seen two and thought only 12 were produced. I've counted more than 12 that I've found on the web. It's still quite rare though.............
Since the JMJ 20/20, the only one that came & was sold, was this one on GBase........... http://www.gbase.com/gear/gibson-20-20-ned-steinberger-1987-silver-luna   At least until this one.

It seems like around $900.00 has been the going price for the last few years. I paid about that for my Luna Silver bass with a modifiable new hard shell case. Almost exactly 3 years ago, I paid $1,280 for a close to mint Ferrari Red one which is a bit more rare. Many thought I had lost my marbles............ but I haven't seen another. This one seems to be in great shape, the only thing I see as being missing is the "Leg Rest". That might be a standard Steinberger item that can still be found.......... Good Luck!!

Perhaps you need a third one? 

[Grog]

Perhaps you need a third one? 

That would set me up for an "Intervention"!

[Highlander]

Is that what we call "sectioned" over here...?

[Dave W]

I won't be surprised if this gets up to $900 or more.

The coincidental thing about the 20/20 for those of us who live in cricketing-playing parts of the world, given that the 20/20 is often jokingly called a cricket bat, is that 4 or 5 years ago a short format of cricket was developed using the name 20/20 (because each team bats for 20 overs).   It's a hugely popular format of the game now.

[Highlander]

Gibson... ahead of their time, yet again...

[Grog]

No other bass has so many other useful options that it can used for.................. How can you put a price tag on that!!

We could use another 20/20 Brother on the LBO.............
