  1. What is blackwood tek? I don't think it was ever rosewood even though some websites said so.
  2. Anyway, for what it's worth, I expect the original Thunderbirds and Embassies were factory fitted with flats.
  3. I've got GHS Precision Flats on an Epiphone Embassy PRO with T'bird pickups and it sounds great to me. I do use a VT Bass pedal with the mids boosted slightly.
  4. GAK, where I got mine , still have a black one showing at £329. But £349 would also be a good deal.
  5. The Embassy PRO is excellent value at £329 and sounds massive.
  6. I had Thomastik flats on a Squier Jazz ... very good.
  7. Fender Bass VI set for 30" scale Fender Bass VI but, due to tremolo/vibrato tailpiece on Bass VI, the winding length ball end to silk is 35". I doubt they would fit 34" scale bass.
  8. I've had flats of both higher and lower tenson on a Squier with no problem. I woudln't expect any problem.
  9. A non-Thunderbird but with Thunderbird pickups alternative ...
  10. Agreed, but also neck pickup only and play over the end of fretboard.
  11. I'm just a four string EADG bass guitarist so I am definitely a mere mortal but Bach is beautiful to listen to and I have always loved Red Mitchell. Enjoy the reading.

  13. Here's one ... https://www.talkbass.com/threads/the-real-james-jamerson-amp.854013/
  14. Only when he was pretending to be Carol Kaye on all those Beach Boys albums.
