Such a Great Bass!
This has come to be one of my favorite basses. It's lighter than most and just plays and sounds great! With round wound strings, it lively and bouncy. With the tone rolled off, it's warm and woody.
The only thing that was an issue are the stock tuning machines. Sadly mine came to me squeaking with one failing after a short time. Installed aftermarket tuners by Hipshot and the problem was solved. Reduced weight at the headstock as well.
Tuners aside, I would not consider letting this one go anytime soon. Hat's off to Epiphone for offering a Left-handed model!
Knobs don't work
I'll update this review once I decide whether or not I am keeping the bass, but I want to save my fellow lefties from being surprised by this disappointment.
Both the tone and volume knobs on this bass use logarithmic pots, but on the left handed model they have wired them as though they're reverse logarithmic pots. This means they basically function as on/off switches - the full spectrum of discernable change in both tone and volume happen between 0 and 1. Anywhere between 1 and 10, there is no audible difference.
This can be solved by either replacing the pots with reverse log, or by wiring them so that clockwise turns them up, thereby making 0 your max volume. Because the Jack Casady is a hollow body bass, that would require fishing all the electronics out through the f hole, making the change, and fishing them back into place.
I'll update my review later with more depth, but I wanted to put this out there.
I'm disappointed with Epiphone.
Sweetwater is great.
