I think the logical choice is the Embassy.  Most of the others can be had/built one way or the other.  The Embassy, like the NR Bird, is something that nobody is doing right now.  And we should get them in Inverness Green!   :mrgreen:

Well with my vote the Embassy has almost 50% of the total, and with nineteen votes total we've almost got enough for an order...............................Ok you ten non Embassy voters, submit to the will of the masses!                                                Does 19 qualify as a mass?

Cheers!

Count me in on an Embassy bass.  BaCH would have to make some rings for those Artces, though.  It would look a little funny without them.

A long-scale Explorer would be cool, too. I don't have space/money for another bass EXCEPT for an Explorer..........

OK Gary, now in most things you hold a good deal of credibility but when it comes to unbiased comments about an Embassy...........  NOT!  :mrgreen:

The Embassy does seem the logical next step. I would love to see a Triumph bass but the logistics of that might be a bit far fetched.

I marvel how people volunteer for what is essentially the most unbalanced bass in the world!  :mrgreen:

I think the Thunderbird is at the front of the line for unbalanced.  The Embassy hangs a little better, but still has that neck dive reputation.

Until I relocated the front pin, the T-Bird pitched forward like an Olympic cliff diver.

I voted Embassy. that cherry gib red bird pics that were posted at the end of the Bach thread is a beauty. Inverness is cool too. In fact I bought some for the BaCH bird but the finish is better than I expected & I dont need another project :mrgreen:
