The 20/20 in action

Looks like a weapon in your hands!

Basvarken · March 18, 2014, 12:04:38 PM

It is.
Lethal.

The sound engineer couldn't stop telling me how great it sounded in the mix.

That's pretty cool! Look forward to any audio if you happen to get some... Glad you found a great tonal fit in that thing.

I've always had a soft spot for some of those futuristic 80s designs - Factors, Spector NSX, the L2/XL2, Roland G-77, etc... I wanted the latter something fierce back then!

Nice to see you with an instrument for grown-ups, wretched hobbit-wielder!!! You went from this

to this

.

Way to go, assault and ... battery!!!

Such blissful satisfaction! I have corrupted a vintage shortscale basses player that once took out the battery of his Stingray into an ardent 20/20 modernistic paddle player. My influence here is nothing short of ...

Anything to confuse the conservative folks in the audience (read: bluesrock connaisseurs)

Holy Cow! That thing looks a lot larger than I thought they were. Having never seen a 20/20 in person I always assumed they were smallish.

Basvarken · March 18, 2014, 04:57:24 PM

Yeah, and they make you look like a mean MF.

Pilgrim · March 18, 2014, 05:15:42 PM

Yeah, that neck looks a mile long.

Grog · March 18, 2014, 06:19:39 PM

Maybe 20/20 was intended to be a caliber, not an axe for visionaries. It looks BADASS!!

No, not the bass - it's the cowboy shirt!

For some reason I do like the bass - though I've thought them beyond fugly for years.

Agreed! Glad that you are able to add this one to the mix. It does look much larger in the live shots than it appears in pics by itself.

To put things into perspective: The 20/20 measures longer than an LP Signature and almost as long as an Epihone Embassy. Since most paddle players play the bass much higher than our gunslinger Rob does, the size just isn't as apparent with them.

Or maybe Rob is just a midget, I really dunno.
