I'll take the 20/20 in a boat race any day. Just more surface area for a nice powerful stroke.

I wonder if it ever sold. Insane asking price.

Eastwood Guitars just re-issued their La Baye 2x4 bass version last month as part of their custom shop series.

$599 and it's a DEVO signature model. That's more like it, and it probably will be better built than the originals. Not long scale though.

I ran into an ad for that in the current VG issue, but I didn't find anything new on the Eastwood site.............

I'm still thinking of cutting the bodywings of my '76 Tbird and '78 Rick. Much more ergonomic, lighter, more personal.

Hell, just get a new one. The 2015 I played had wings that didn't seem that far from falling off on their own

devo link or not, the thing still looks like an eighth grade shop project.....600 bucks?

Bob nearly whacked me in the head with his 2X4 at Armadillo World Headquarters around 1980-ish.

That bass looks anorectic. In comparison, the 20/20 is Pamela Anderson.

With that analogy, I can't believe that they didn't sell like hotcakes................. Balanced extremely well................

exiledarchangel · July 15, 2015, 02:59:00 PM

I'd bet that model would lean forward all the time.
