Then that dates the photo no earlier than '63, which was when the Embassy debuted according to my '22 VGPG. I'm guessing it switched from 4 inline to 2x2 tuners in '65, as the value drops in that year.

If my memory isn’t fried, my Embassy was a 67, which still had the humongous batwing 4-inline headstock.
There’s a distinct possibility I’m remembering that wrong, though. It was 20 some years ago….

Please join me in marking the anniversary of the passing of the amazing Bernard Edwards
October 31, 1952 to April 18, 1996 - 43 and gone too soon.

The man knew how to get them up and on the dance floor...and my Bass teacher told me early on that was our purpose as Bass players..

From Lollapalooza 1994: Billy Corgan, Kim Deal, and Mike D.

I saw this tour, it was a strong lineup. I'm not a big fan of the Pumpkins, who played last. But the Beasties and the Breeders were excellent, as were Tribe Called Quest, P Funk, L7, Nick Cave and the then-unknown opener Green Day.

I found a photo in the VGPG of a '66 with that long inline head. But the original Embassy was only made through '69, so ... the 2x2 appeared in the last 2 years of the run? Or only in later reissues?

What was the Embassy's scale length?

I just noticed something about my two pics of Casey's. In the early '60s w/ The Raiders, every kid is dancing. Some five years later and Moby Grape, not a single dancer. All we see are the backs of the kids' heads. It was no longer a dance hall but a concert venue, but not by management's design. It was the type of tunes being played by a SF band a year after the Summer Of Love.

I also note Skip Spence front and center, but not long for the band since his psycho axe episode in the studio also occurred in '68. Wow.

Don’t know the answer about the dates, but the US Embassy was a full 34” scale. I think the old 2+2 Embassy was a Japanese build. I also had one of the much more recent Embassy Pro Chinese models, a great bass for $400. This was it from the Sweetwater store.

In what town was that playout?

This was Anacortes Washington at the local Arts Festival in 1970. Every year it seems to get bigger and bigger.

I'd wager now that the original six-year run all had the inline headstock.
