The Last Bass Outpost

True professionals, The Dreamers. To get involved in such an act, then there's gotta be some good money involved. They look, and they sound, ridiculous.
But what many do not know, is that they could rock. And heavy. The B-side to their first 45, the strange waltz If you gotta make a fool of somebody, was called Feel so blue. It's a rhythm'n'bluestainted tune in minor. Great guitar, driving bass, and strong force in the drums. But nowhere to be found on Youtube. I'm not surprised.

Now I've seen it. Really nice. Or, to be honest, what a beauty!

I wouldn't call them black and cherry. I'd rather say Dark cherry, and Light cherry.
Uwe, don't you even see a small photo? If you do, and if you have a Mac, do as Barkless says, or click on the small letters under the pic.
If you've got a PC, well you should be able to see them bigger just by clicking on the photo. I have PC at home, and Mac at work. I can see the pics of my basse any time I want. And when I get home, I can hold them, cherish them, lick the tuners. And so on.
p.s.
My wife don't understand me. What should I do?
d.s.

Good morning, World! Concerning those basses: I am no collector, not in any way. It's just that sometimes one must look for safety first. So is the case with the two Embassies. I first saw one on a photo on an album cover. No, not the Johnny Cash Live at San Quentin. Always thought that head belonged to a Burns Vista Sonic, until a few years ago. The record in question was one of Greg Kihns first. Anyway, when I found out what that bass was, and finally got one, I realised there had been only a little more than 500 made of them. What would happen if mine got stolen, or smashed? I had to get another one! Just in case... So I finally found one.
They are both players, no wallhangers, but it feels stupid right now to have two of them, when there's a world out there, crying for Embassies!!!
After that I got caught up with the thought of somehow getting a long scale Eb0. First I bought a worn out Gibson Ripper, with some essential stuff changed, namely the pickups and controls. A couple of the tuner keys were gone, too, whilst the bridge were in no good shape. I thought about letting my luthier change the whole body into Eb0- style, but fell in love with the sucker. No, not with my luthier, for f--ks sake! With the bass! The Ripper! So I gave her a modern T-bird pickup, and suddenly had myself a Ripperbird.
That was about the time when I saw the Lotus bass on Ebay. Got her, rebuilt her, stringed her up with the usual Roto Sounds 45-105, and got to work. Nice bass, soft sound with a little twist towards brutality.
The Fender P bass was my main bass from 1977, until I got the first Embassy. Then it was all over. But you know, you can't skip an old friend just because you find others. At least not until there's money on the table.
The Bach P-bass was given to me by my children, when I... well, you don't have to know every detail, right? That bass could be of some interest to all you awaiting news concerning the Bach T-bird. I'd say the quality is very good, no problem what so ever. Even the pickup is really good, the neck is smooth. I guess you'll all be satisfied the Czech work, when the man comes around.

Chromium, my friend. That hurt! Just when I thought I was getting the hang of things, and fully moving into the 21th century, you make that trick with making a picture available just by a small click on the message. Sob!
And to you, Dave, I say thank you for your advice! I guess it's back to school for me...
But before that, I must share a photo with you. I wouldn't say it's pornographic, but on the other hand, maybe...

Better?

Aw right, you guys! I called my older brother, the drummer. He's a teacher in a class where the pupils has different difficulities. He showed me, in a most grand way, how to do it. Then I sent him the picture. This should be, hrrrm, if it works, what I intended it to look like. (Cross my fingers)
