If you don't know or haven't seen/played or heard one...these Epiphone Embassy basses are amazing!Fun to play and the tone is to die for!! All mahogany construction and the same pickups/bridge/tail-piece/electronics as a T-Bird from the 60's. I think they started making these in 1963 and went until 1967 or 68...and ultimately they cost way less than a T-bird. I became aware of the Embassy bass in 1970 and still have that bass...would never sell it. One of my main go to basses. Records superbly and still plays beautifully to this day...good wood! Most of the Embassy's I've played have a slightly different shape neck from a T-Bird...extremely comfortable.The biggest downside is they can feel a tiny tad top heavy...you have to learn how to adjust to that but once you do it's no problem and away ya go.
Am I missing something here...you got a problem with my comments about Embassy Basses?If so...speak up!
I think they agree with your comments. Unless I'm missing something.
