    Installing TI Flats on a Jack Casady bass: any issues?

    I'm thinking of getting TI flats for my Epi JC.

    Jack Casady bass laminate version and feedback

    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...
