Minty 2017 Epiphone Jack Casady bass with hard case.
This is a much nicer version of this very popular bass. The 20th Anniversary edition has a flame maple top, ebony fingerboard, and this one comes with the $120 hard case. This was a one-year configuration, and they are hard to find.
I really...
I'm thinking of getting TI flats for my Epi JC. I love this bass but it's currently in a weird place, since my current bands either call for flats (currently on a Hoefner Club, TIs, or an Orange O-Bass, Pyramid flats) or very bright roundwound strings (steel Rotosounds on both a long scale Dano...
Hello There!
I got myself an Epiphone Jack Casady Bass and I'm hearing equal pros and cons for flats v. rounds on it. What do y'all recommend? Roundwound or Flatwound for this bass if I intend to play rock / country with her?
Hi All,
the new version of the EPI Jack Casady bass has gone from solid maple to laminate maple apparently to reduce feedback. This seems to be a common construction method to avoid feedback from amplified jazz guitars.
Could those of you who have a JC comment on the feedback "problem" and how...
No, I didn't murder Jack Casady, just used the common expression a lot of folks use when they change all the hardware to black.
I used to have the hardware powder-coated, but at least in my area powder coating has become more expensive than just replacing the parts with black hardware to begin...

Hi, i'm thinking about upgrading to one of these basses. I like the Jazz bass (i currently own a Squier jb vintage modified 70's) but i've been watching videos about the Jack Casady's signature Epiphone bass, and i love it's tones! but i wonder if the quality could match the Fender's, in fact...
Great condition bass. I believe I was the second owner. Currently have it strung with half wounds. No visual defects outside of some light scuffing on the top of the fretboard near the 17th fret. Price includes shipping. Won't come in a gig bag, but will have it super well packaged and insured...

Kinda interested in this bass! I play anchored on either pickup, and the pickup on the JC looks pretty low.. Is it possible to play it anchored, or should i look into a thumb rest?
Also, how’s the neck? Chunkier than a P?
Yep, I'm a DB player. Nope, I am not lost, wandering over here to the BG side. Yep, it has been several decades since I played BG more than once a year because DB is my thing.
Enter this attractive Epi JC 20th Anni model. It looks very sweet. It plays way easy (and fresh TI Flats are part of...
My daughter is getting married to a great guy and my wife and I couldn't be happier. This past weekend we held my daughter's wedding shower, and we had kind of an afterparty back at our house Saturday evening. The fiancé's sister was there. She had a banjo with her (all the kids play something...
I'm wanting to upgrade my Jack Casady pickup to something with a little more punch. Even with power slinky strings the tone is very round and muddy.
Anyone ever upgraded and/or have any suggestions?
Hi all,
I have bought a young JC signature bass, and love the sound, bit lately the output jack has come loose, and it seems I cannot tighten it anymore.
So I'd like to replace it, but cannot see how to reach it, since there is no opening in the back to get there.
Someone any tips on how to do...
So, I recorded my next single earlier this month. When the vocalist do his part, my Producer said that I need a hollow body bass to maximize my music (we play alternative rock). The only HB bass that available at my country right now is Epiphone Viola, Epiphone Woody Allen, Epiphone Jack Casady...
My gold top jack casady recently died. No output at all. I checked everything I know to check and couldn’t figure out the exact problem. My tech now has it and he said the transformer/inductor, whatever it is, has signal going in, but none coming out. It’s fully epoxied, so he can’t do anything...
Epiphone Jack Casady Signature Bass, gold top.
The bass is in like-new condition with absolutely no issues. Frets are in great shape, truss rod works fine, neck is solid and straight.
This bass has been loved - it has not left my house since I acquired it.
It weighs only 7.5 lbs. on the...

I've been searching for body dimensions of semi/ Hollow basses but have come out empty.
For example, How big is the body of a Gibson Eb-2? a Jack Casady? a Höfner Verythin? Guild? And so on
Anybody that can help?
So there is a local music store that I go to all the time in my area. I was in there yesterday and I was talking to the owner about doing a sort of project bass. He went to the back and pulled out an Epiphone Jack Casady signature model with no electronics what so ever. He said he’d sell it to...
Hi.
It's been a while so please forgive me if I'm in the wrong area of the forum but I was wondering if anyone can recommend the best strap locks for a Jack Casady that don't involve making the hole bigger. I've already returned a pair of Schaller S locks and also a pair of Loxx… I just want...
Traded a fella for this last night for an American Standard Jazz that I just never loved. Now my gold top Jack Casady has a sibling. Also, the first two pics are the ones the guy sent me. I believe it had chromes on it. But, he had it strung with TI's, which is perfect, because all of my basses...
So, I found this beauty on local market, sold for just about 200 US$. It's a steal deal, as it's not usually popped up here in Indonesia. The seller said all part original except the pickup. And, he said that there's no varitone knob. Is it a real deal? Because I found the Epiphone Jack Casidy...
Hey bass friends,
I'm quite interested in the Jack Casady Signature bass, but I am a bit concerned about the playability of the neck in comparison to short scale hollow bodies and regular long scale solid body instruments. Unfortunately, I haven't had the opportunity to play one, since none of...
I have an Epiphone Jack Casady Bass in Ebony. I love the cool look of the ebony bass and I want to make it completely black. I am changing the bridge to a black Hipshot Supertone unit and I have removed the cream scratch plate and changed the volume and tone knobs to black. I want to change the...
I picked up a sweet, used, alpine white Jack Casady bass this afternoon. I only played it seated in the store, and tonight, during a long rehearsal, I realized I can't play this thing standing up due to the drastic neck dive. After a couple of hours, I had to quit for the night due to the...
I see this bass referred to as semi-hollow, but I watched a video in which it was said that it was hollow with a post under the bridge. If anyone could answer whether it has a center block that runs the length of the body vs a post under the bridge, I would sincerely appreciate it. I'm asking...
Hey TBers,
Volume and tone pots for your Jack Casady basses can be ordered from Epiphone thru an authorized dealer like Guitar Center.
I just ordered two of each and it cost my $7.87.
Attached is a photo of the pot code to use. The pots are the same and they are both audio taper pots. Both...
I'm thinking of getting an access panel cut in my Casady bass so I can do some of my own repairs. Would a guitar tech be competent to do this or would this be a job for a luthier? What might be the down side? I'm not concerned with resale value because it's a (good quality) factory second and...
Jack Casady's name comes up here all the time. Not sure if everyone knows that he does bass workshops...
I first saw Casady in 1969 where he came on stage by himself and solo'd in front of thousands before the Airplane came out. Left a deep impression on myself and many other young bassist's...
OK, I couldn't help myself, and it's done! Pre-ordered the new Jack Casady 20th. Anniversary bass! zZounds has the four payment; no credit check; no interest; no tax; no shipping deal, and I couldn't stop myself! They say expected to arrive to them about July 20th., I'm in no rush. Now, all I...
For sale is a bass I recently put together but need some $$ for other projects. This started as a factory 2nd Epi Jack Casady. Condition-wise, it's been played but in is good shape. Slight finish cracks along fretboard but they're minor. I've added a TV Jones Thundertron and a hip shot...

I just saw a You Tube video on the new Jack Casady Sig. Ltd. Ed. 20th Anniversary bass, and it's on the Epiphone web page.....does anyone know if it is actually available in stores yet? When will it be?
