This pic right here might just make me feel ok about a black one.

There was no other color available so I got this but you can't really go wrong with black anyway.
I had the 20th Anniversary red one and a black one, but had to sell one to fund other gear.... as pretty as the 20th was, the the BlackJack just played and sounded better, and is still with me 
.
The look of the white one is really growing on me... if I was in the position to get another, it would be white.

I know I’ve posted this elsewhere but it bears repeating: if I hit a lotto I’ll add a red (20th anniv) and a white to my current Chicago Blue Royale. There’d be rounds on one, flats on one and tapes on one ... until I change my mind. I’d love the full set so if it’s a big enough lotto I’ll be haunting the web for one of every color.
Well I done did it. $525 and a 4 hour road trip with the wife later and she’s home. This is gonna be fun!

Also traded my T-bird last night for an Allen Woody. Now the playing the Woody and the Casady back to back REALLY accentuates the size differences. Casady feels huge after playing the short scale Woody.
that's funny. Actually I'm much more comfortable on a thicker neck due to playing DB.
It's the width of the JC neck that's gonna take some getting used to.
I'm rotating another 2 basses with thinner necks so it is noticeable the thicker JCB. No problem though after 5 minutes of playing while the big body provides great arm support when playing pick style.
This is what my JCB looks like (minus the 2 nuts 
)...looks v cool "sans pickguard"
Shame it didn't come with a black pickup cover instead of the white

Been thinking about relocating the stap button to the horn to try to decrease the "belly roll" when picking, so i went back through the thread - does this epoxy trick really work for the long haul? seems it would be easier than shaping a wood block and fishing it in there.
All you need is one of these:
Then follow these steps:
Strap Button on ES Guitars
I did it to each of my Casady basses in about 10 min. The epoxy was less than $5, so I used an entire tube for each bass.
you could try running the strap from the endpin across the rear 3/4 of the JCB. Works on my T’Birds and totally reversible if you don’t like it.
What he means is run the strap over the body , not behind the body at the rear of the guitar .
And hide part of your Jack Casady? Blasphemy!
IMO, the best JCB is a naked JCB. And if you gotta use a pickguard, a multi-lam with white and black edges would be best.

That method would have saved me a whole lotta' time!
Anybody in the club notice the interview with Adam Clayton in Geddy’s Big Beautiful Book of Bass? On page 173 Adam says in an interview with Geddy, “That Jack Casady bass is a beast!” On page 175 is a photo of AC playing his gold top live.
