NancyJohnson Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Look, I know it's not eBay, but these are pretty rare basses (under 50 made) and there's a bit of love here. I found a Gibson 20/20 online, Premier Guitars, Sydney. It's currently on sale for 1,200 AUD, which in Sterling is around £690, so for one of these basses it's a steal. I contacted the seller, sadly the insured shipping comes out at 424 AUD (£240) and you'd need to factor in import duties (<5%) and VAT on the bass and shipping (another £190). They said they can reduce the shipping if they discarded the hard case (non original), assuring me it could be 'packed it well in bubblewrap). At around £1,200, I just found the whole cost somewhat prohibitive and dropped out. It looks as though it may have been signed by Ned Steinberger too - if you right-click the image below and view the image in full-res, you'll see a signature. If you have deep pockets, check here: http://www.premierguitars.com.au/product/gibson-steinberger-2020-bass-usa-1987/ The contact at Premier is John Spence.

T-Bay Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Wow! How cool is that? Shame about the added costs. The carriage seems particularly high, I had a motorbike engine sent over a few years back for £80. I expected it to take an age but it arrived in about 10 days.

NancyJohnson Posted August 10, 2018 Author Share Posted August 10, 2018 I'd love this, but I'd prefer a first run Hamer Cruise Bass more. Sod's Law...I'd probably swing for this and a Cruise would come up in a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) Wow. This is left-field enough that I don't know whether I like it or not. (I own a Westone Rail I'll never sell, just for context.) Edited August 10, 2018 by alyctes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I want one of these as well as the very similar spector nsx...I will have a mullet and wear pastel Blazers with shoulder pads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
