Thunderbird Bodies to order

[Lightyear]

Yep, several of the Reranch folks are dealers and I order from them frequently.  When I retire, I'm going to join the dealer club!

Well, one of you need to get crackin' on this

Scott needs to pave the way, I still got 2 years or so of working for my current master!

Lol - I caution anybody dreaming of a long scale neck embassy to actually try out a real one. Reality will bite - those basses balance like hell even with a maho neck, I dare not imagine what a maple neck would do ...

True, but they balance better than the Thunderbird!  Ultra-lite tuners could help with that.

Better than a TBird? Certainly not better than a Rev one which hangs fine and whose neck heaviness is mild and not even bothersome if you anchor your palm on the bridge as pick players do. The Non Rev balances worse than the Epi sitting down and is similarly neck-heavy standing up, but still anchors better than an Embassy on the gut (though not really great either).
