I'd offer to check this out for someone but I'll probably end up buying it so I'll stay away.

MAN, I'm stoked! I just got off the phone with the Queens, NY Guitar Center store that had the Alpine White Jack Casady, and they say this bass has a straight neck, plays great, has NO visible flaws, and has no "B" or "USED" stamp on the headstock. They're getting it ready to ship to me. I still cannot believe that they priced it at only $319.00 (it's gonna end up being $371.00 after shipping and sales tax). I've wanted a Jack Casady for years, but was never fond of the black or gold version. The silverburst was cool, but by the time I started seriously looking, they were hard to come by. When they came out with the Alpine White a few years ago, I knew I'd have to have one some day. Well, today was MY day! This "Hot Deals" thread is one of the BEST features in all of TalkBass!

It's entirely possible that it's as great as you're hoping it is, but be prepared for disappointment just in case. In most used Casadys I've seen in stores, the impedance switch turns freely with barely discernible clicks. It might be fine though. The price makes me skeptical but who knows.
 
I bought the Goldtop JC with the neck crack. Turns out that it was a minor finish crack in the heel laminate. In great shape otherwise. Put on a set of Chromes and its good to go. $299 with shipping and tax included.
