1987 Gibson 20/20
This bass sports a Ferrari Red finish; far more unusual than the Luna Silver seen on most 20/20s

Maple body, bolt-on maple neck. Two active Gibson humbuckers, 34 1/2 inch scale.

The 20/20 was available in Luna Silver and Ferrari Red finish, as seen here.

All hardware on the 20/20 is black: painted metal bridge, control knobs, and tuning keys, and black plastic pickup covers The pickups on the 20/20 are marked with the word GIBSON in gold lettering. These pickups were not used on any other Gibson bass guitar Body detail - bridge and battery cover 1987 Gibson 20/20 bass. Body detail The hinged arm on the underside of the body allows easy playing whilst seated.
1987 Gibson 20/20 bass. Body detail 1987 Gibson 20/20 bass. Body detail 1987 Gibson 20/20 bass. Bridge detail, in this case the newly designed 3 point bridge The serial number and  "MADE IN USA" are stamped on the underside of the headstock Rear headstock detail. The 20/20 had 4 tuning keys in a row, made by Sperzel

The Gibson 20/20 was only available from late 1987 and 1988. The serial number dates this one to November 1987, manufactured at the Gibson Nashville plant. On such a short production run there is not too much room for variance, but there is some. The 24th fret on many 20/20s has double fret marker dots, but that fret is just plain on this bass.

Hardware is not typical for Gibson. The pickups are similar to seventies RD Artist pickups, but they are not the same. These were only used in the 20/20. The Sperzel tuning keys are another unique 20/20 feature, as is the height adjustable nut. The Schaller adustable bridge is one feature that is a little more familiar.
