Jack Casady Signature Bass great in the studio

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 great 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.

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 Bella flatwounds on mine and it just kills! A recording monster, too.

Great bass at a great price

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 - .050). 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.

Fantastic Bass

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 shines 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!
