...just wondering if anyone knows if the bridge arrangement on this lovely looking embassy bass is original ,...looks sorta weird , ..... its got the studs and posts of ebo/ 3 basses but different string anchor .
....not that i'm thinking of buying it , just curious , ....looks like an interesting way of improving the intonation on those old basses ...

The bridge is correct, same hardware as a Thunderbird of the same vintage. Love the white NR Thunderbird they have.

They are really high priced there, but the amount is in American Peso's

[godofthunder]

Your right John they are ! Fun to look though.

 At first I thought that was a white '76.........but after looking at the pics I think its PINK! Might even be the one that belonged to Evan Sheeley (owner of BassNW) when he played with TKO.......I shoulda been a Lawyer!

I thought it was a very bad pic of a natural one...

Nope, scroll the pics its a re-fin...........You should buy it for me as a wedding present......

I like that pink bird.  That one has been on their site a while.

I bought my EB-2D from them in 2002.  I think its current market value has almost reached what I paid for it back then.   

That's OK - no regrets.  Loved it then, love it now.

We should make a hole in it, so you can wear it as a ring:)

I wonder if he was one of the guys leaning over the hood of the dead truck backstage when they played Davenport, IA way back when.  We just missed them on a bill with AC/DC, UFO, Nazareth and Heart.  AC/DC was excellent!  I ended up chewing the fat with Bon Scott for about half an hour over a beer near the river.  He was very cool.

Holes in Thunderbirds and Mark is involved?!!!! Another thread that has plummeted into the dark abyss of anal sex phantasies ...

Hey.......Ze Hollander!   my estranged fiancee, he brought it up! 

I wish I had the spare $$$ for that Pinky 'Bird. I'm just a one trick pony for those things.........
