From Our Research Team:

A Bass with Style and Sound to Spare

Jack Casady, bass player for groundbreaking rock bands Hot Tuna and the Jefferson Airplane, worked closely with Epiphone R&D to create this long scale (34"), semi-acoustic electric bass. The Jack Casady Signature Bass is a stunning instrument that is capable of producing a "natural" bass tone that cannot be achieved using normal high impedance and active pick ups. The Vari Tone knob ranges from low volume/maximum tone to high volume/narrow tone for a real bite. This bass not only delivers notes of amazing clarity, but is also capable of producing incredibly clear, articulate chords. The Jack Casady Signature Bass is a guitar for the bassist who isn't satisfied to plunk or pick away in the background, but wants to explore the sound of his or her instrument to its fullest and most extreme.

Jack Casady Signature Bass great in the studio

by Jack from CA USA
May 10, 2011
Music Background: Pro
I have one of the first JCB's made. It's a modern take on the Gibson Les Paul Sig Bass. The great Gibson design makes this new Epi version the best electric hollowbody bass available. A unique and gre... read more [+]at sounding bass that sounds incredible with the LaBella flatwounds 760fl set. Set the varitone switch on the lowest setting 50ohms, then roll the tone knob back about halfway for a sweet organic ballad tone. Advance the varitone for more aggressive, meatier tones. A killer studio bass. close [-]

Jack Casady bass is one of the best basses available

This is one of the best buys in the bass world. Priced for the masses, but sounds as good or better than any pro bass available. Has its own round, organic sound, but can do rock, too. I use 760FL La ... read more [+]Bella flatwounds on mine and it just kills! A recording monster, too. close [-]

Great bass at a great price

by Chris from Huntsville, AL
January 5, 2012
Music Background: Vox & Bass (Hobbyist)
First thing I had to do was to tighten everything! After that, it was good to go, although I did change the action, strings and intonation. I thought it sounded better with heavy strings (.105 - .05... read more [+]0). Has a great woody tone (I didn't really know what that meant before this bass!) Thumpy but not muddy. Perfect for the music I like: '60's, '70's and Country. close [-]

Fantastic Bass

by Darrell R Taylor from Birmingham, AL USA

Music Background: Lifelong Bass Guitarist
I love this bass. In a field full of solid bodies that sound very similar comes this unique guitar. The responsiveness to touch and technique is very intimate. Position of the plucking hand really s... read more [+]hines through on this one.Playing around with the varitone and tone control yields a number of useful tones: Don't let one pickup make you think it is a one trick pony.
The 34" scale keeps it from being muddy. There are not many full scale hollow body bass guitars around.
Build quality is very good. My only complaint is the large body. This does contribute to the great sound though. It is not heavy, at least.
The gold color is beautiful. You get noticed.
If you want to get out of the pack ( both sound and looks) this is your ticket! close [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
