Anyone prefer the Jack Casady over the Lakland Hollowbody?

[MAJOR METAL]

Greetings & Salutations Hollowbody Fans,

I recall the question being posed in reverse of this one in the past, before Chi Sonics were introduced into the Lakland Hollowbody. Do any of you prefer the Epiphone Jack Casady over the Lakland Hollowbody? There was a time a number of years back where I was swayed in the comfort factor of how the Lakland sat on my lap but was ultimately discouraged with how narrow I found the neck. Also, I found the stock barts quite weak and inflexible. Today however, I have found the Jack Casady bass a far more responsive acoustic instrument compared to the Lakland Hollowbody. Please share your thoughts and experiences!

If I could only fit the Lakland bridge on the Epiphone, What a wonderful world it would be.

I only prefer the price of the JC. The lakland was a much better design overall,but then it should be,since it costs more.

Love the JC, never played the Lakeland

JC has a more diffuse, non punchy sound, the Lakland is much punchier and stouter, tone-wise. I have played lakland since 2001. the Lakland also balances better on a strap.

I like the JC over the Skyline semi, soundwise. For a semi-hollow my Lakie didn't sound at all "hollow". No woody tone whatsoever.

Despite being a Mike Tobias design, I thought the Bart pickups were maybe not the best match-up there. Also, I found blending the two pickups nearly impossible, and I've read other posts about the same blending issue. Dunno if the USA ones have the same problem?

My JC has its own (ergonomic) quirks but it does sound more like what I expect a semi to sound like..airy and W-I-D-E.

Tastes vary naturally, but for me the JC is the better sounding semi-hollow. Still, I would love to get my hands on a Lakie semi with Darkstars.
