The white looks great too, but I just can't stop looking at the E, reminds me of the Euro symbol.

I bought one of those..gold top version..when they first came out..at that time it was on sale at bass northwest for $550..I sold it a few years ago because I just couldnt get comfortable with the oversized body playing live standing up..but I must say..it had a really nice sound..plenty of low end and bell ringing highs..very straight and true neck that was easy to play..I just couldnt move it..or me..around on stage very well because of that big clunky body..even sitting around home and playing it sitting down..my right arm would always feel extra high on the instrument..and the non contoured body edge would dig into my leg..I guess I am so accustomed to playing a fender jazz for so long..nothing else feels as good for me..I do have a 1981 gibson victory artist bass which is basically shaped like a fender jazz only heavier which will always be my number 1..but because of the rarity..value..and love for that instrument..I dont take it out on the road..the fender jazz gets all the road work..its an american model but I have put seymour duncan quarter pound pickups and a babicz bridge on it..
Dang that is sweet. Gotta say I like the red better than the gold top. Epi JC is definitely on my wish list.
I can see where it would be uncomfortable to some people. I wear it a little higher than I would a P or J. But, it feels just right for me.
A couple of years ago, I took my wife to see The Producers (not the Mel Brooks play, but the Atlanta '80s band) whom I had met a few times. Kyle Henderson was rockin' the Jack Casady, and during the autograph line I asked him about it. He "waxed rhapsodic" over it (to almost an embarrassing degree, honestly) and said that holding and playing it convinced him it was HIS bass. I've considered one ever since. A HNBD to you!
I’ve a set of TIs laying around, I’ll have to string them up and give them a whirl.

Being a T-bird player is sorta' like being a cyclist or motorcyclist - you are one or you aren't -

Likes guitars that tune good and firm feelin women
Jelly attack. I’m waiting on the right Jack Casady to come along. I really want a 34” hollow body and these are at the top of my list.
The Cherry Red finish is and always will be my favorite! Also, as stated by others: Epiphone's quality control of late, has been kicking some serious butt!
Double Jacks! Congrats!
That is one of only a handful of production line basses that I'm very disappointed they don't offer left handed. I've wanted one ever since they first came out.

I agree on the quality. I have two newer Les Paul guitars also. They’re both great!
I have an "Emily The Strange" Epiphone SG, which I seriously love and play more than my other more expensive (vintage) six strings (except for the 1966 Cherry Red Guild Starfire V, which is also semi-hollowbody)!
God damnit—I was just looking at these online today! Now I have even more GAS!
It definitely helps with sustain especially with strings that have silks. Without this bar, the silk ends sit In the saddle.
