2020. . . anyone?

Post by bassduke49 »

My kingdom (Forest not included) for decent photos of a Rick 2020 Hamburg bass. I've got photos of the earlier 2030 Hamburg (and both the 2050 and 2060 El Dorado basses), but I don't recall ever seeing photos of a 2020. For those not in the know, it would look like the 2060 (below) but without binding or the gold hardware. Anyone?

Paul,

I have two tiny pics of a red one I can send you along with the other pics you requested a while ago. PM me your email and I'll get them to you.

Thanks. I'll post my e-mail address here for anyone who can contribute:

Man, these 2020s must be scarce if Erik doesn't have one!

It's the only one of the 2000 series I don't have!

There is something wrong with this bass. I only see 4 strings.

I guess Jeff hasn't done his "thing" to it yet...
:lol:
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

I didn't get the 'joke' untill I looked at his page. It looks like he has several of these 20xx guitars.

I'd love to get ahold of a 2000 series; that 2060 looks great.
