First time I ever saw a Thunderbird was in a pop band....1965!
-
Not a big fan of Greyburst but I'll try one out as soon as they start showing up.
-
My favorite...Fender should have used this headstock on the Meteora basses.
-
I like the headstock.

-
I like the slots cut into the pickguard!
-
Does the Embassy have rolled fret edges?

Sorry, I should've simply stated that they're high tension instead of asking it.

Aren't they high tension flatwounds with a very stiff feel?

Too bad there isn't a Squier version.

Just delivery. That’s on top of the picks.
Still worth it to me.

$10 here but I'd pay $20 if I had to.

I'd like to try those. But their own website shows they are sold out and I can't find a UK dealer.
I'm guessing you've tried Amazon and Ebay.

I can get far more aggressive with this than with my fingers.

One level below a Classic Vibe.

Pup looks like a Retrovibe or Warman jobbie for a Ric...

When Jack Casady suggested to Gibson that they reissue the Les Paul Signature Bass, they sent him to Epiphone who went to Peerless in Korea to make the basses for them. Then they took production to China so Peerless brought out their own version.
So here we have a Peerless Bassmaster Player, which apart from the headstock and tuners is pretty much identical to the Epi.
Really nicely built and sounds great, currently strung with rounds, should I try a set of flats which the seller sent me. Rounds / Flats???

Some people might disagree, but I think Fender simply doesn’t care.
I was excited when this bass came out until I noticed the typical truss-rod access bs, but that was only strike one, and let's face it, no chance of hitting it out of the park now with two strikes and the batter standing there with the bat on his shoulder and the next pitch halfway to the plate.

Never seen/heard that type of pick-up on a bass before, sounds nice (if very vintage-y) on that Empire Music video, I'm unsure what it would be like in a band situation though - let's see if anyone starts using them!
Certainly looks pretty cool though.Not sure if it would kick a P or (standard) J out of the arsenal but if you wanted something different to those two whilst still feeling familiar in the hands then I don't see why not!
Supro used them on their Huntington basses.

As for those "Jazz basses have two pickups" remarks, I can think of two of the top of my head with only one.
So...
-

If that doesn't work, I'm going to suggest an older Dean Exotica with the Aphex System electronics.
Dean Exoticas have very slim necks.
Really no different than my other electric basses.

Something new from Fender.
Available in 2-Color Sunburst, too, but it just doesn't work. Sorry Fender, you should've gone with Shell Pink.
Sweetwater...$1,299.99.
(Yes, a lot of money for an MIM, but...)

SPLIT BRICK
Strong lows and highs, open mids. Like a vintage P bass pickup but with more beef, yet retains clarity. 43 gauge wire, ceramic magnet, 8.5K ohms.THICK BRICK
Warm and thick with strong mids. Output and punch like an active, but more organic sounding. 42 gauge wire, ceramic magnet, 7K ohms.
Suggest a bass.. Let’s stick with the Pbass

Quite a few good basses, but you don't want good, you want great, right?
Dare to be different!
Reverend Thundergun, one of the best-kept secrets in the bass world...it's a super P bass.
