Epiphone JC...smooth!

[jd56hawk]

“The culmination of years of experimentation by the Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna bassist to find an instrument with superior electric tone”: Epiphone honours long-serving signature artist Jack Casady with fretless bass

From its semi-hollow build to its JCB-1 humbucker and impedance switch, here's a bass with mojo for an artist who is all mojo, and it's available for the first time as a fretless model

They are amazing basses. Tone is plucked straight from Woodstock.

Super cool

Beautiful finish !!! I'd love to hear one in action .

 

[H K]

Oh boy! I hope they launch it in a natural/walnut or mahogany too

 

[Old Blastard]

Great. I don't need another fretless, but ....

 

[jasper383]

Love the look. Not crazy about it being unlined, but if it were lined, it wouldn't look as cool.

 

[Jeff K]

Love that! Love the unlined board, too. I had a 1998 Casady in the Vintage Sunburst that I wish I had never sold. It's about time they brought back another Burst!

EDIT: I went ahead and pre-ordered one. No telling when it'll come but I'm in no big rush anyway. I guess I need to sell off a Jazz or a Precision to make some room. (Sigh...)

Epiphone is doing an astounding job of guessing what I want and making it...and I LOVE them for it~

 

[sylvanbass]

Damn it... I don't even play fretless, but guess I'm about to own one and learn!!

 

[Mastermold]

I suspect they will sell a lot of these. Great choice for a fretless.

 

[Danny C]

Beautiful looking bass. Are they making this color fretted also? That I would jump on but I'm not afraid of this either.

 

[Killing Floor]

That looks like I need it.

 

[Old Blastard]

I have three fretless basses, two unlined and one lined, and I prefer the unlined ones. Can't explain why and it makes no sense. I seldom make sense, though. Ask my ex-wives.

 

[Lefty Joe]

well well well, the bass I've been eyeballing is now going to be available fretless! Once you go fretless, it's hard to go back ... oh wait! no lefty version, of course. Still, must be nice for everyone else.

 

[Jeff Scott]

When did Jack start playing fretless?

 

[jd56hawk]

Has anyone seen one of these hanging up in a store?

 

[BQFS]

I got mine a few days ago. I posted a mini-review on a couple of the other, larger JCS-related threads....

 

[KPJ]

Has anyone seen one of these hanging up in a store?

No, but I've seen one hanging on my wall.

No, but I've seen one hanging on my wall.

I'm betting it looks even better in real life.
