When I first went looking, I had a Thunderbird in mind. Back then, a good used one would cost you $1000. The Embassy was $650. There were 4 of them on the wall that day. Only one jumped out at my ears. It was one of Tom Petersson's old basses. Mark (fur85) will attest to how this bass sounds, since he had about 8 years with it. I have always suspected that Petersson had the pickups rewound. I came across a couple old band recordings. I may have to post them in our Dropbox for you.
