I need one that covers that territory between the pickup and the base of the neck. I need a small slab of plastic about a 1/2" thick x 4" long x 1 1/2" wide. I'll put it through a bandsaw, then sand/chisel the side that sits against the body. I'll mount it like the Zero Mod version, and double-sided tape the other end of it to the side of the neck. Maybe a thin strip of foam padding between it and the body.Zero modification thumb rest for the Casady…
Zero-Mod Jack Casady Bass JCLP1 Thumb Rest NO MODS, NO NEW HOLES | eBay
The JCLP1 gives you the range and reach of a classic Fender rest without drilling any new holes in your bass. Many of our models, including the JCLP1, got their start by players' requests! This is a custom thumb rest made for theEpiphone Jack Casady Bass.www.ebay.com
This'll take a minute. Meanwhile I'm getting along with it nicely.

Very nice!My mates and I are going to be featured tonight on the local NBC affiliate show Evening Magazine Evening | Seattle, WA | king5.com
I should have a Youtube link tomorrow.
This is one of my JCs with LaBella DTFs, MB200 into 210AV cab:
The Casady pickup is very deep. I'm not sure if it could go in a regular Tbird body. You would also need to find a place for the impedance matching transformer.
I thought about driving down to down to look at it. But I have other more immediate wants. They’re rare. I’m not sure if that’s a good price.
Contact the Zero Mod guy if you need a variation on one of his products. I had him make me one for my BC Rich based on an existing one. He was really great to work with.
Pass. I was just pointing out what looked to be a nice price for what appears to be a nice bass. I need another 7ender like I need a hole in my head.

Maybe I'll do that. Thanks Ken.

Having brokered Daves modded JC, I had it for a short period to study/play. I now have a few hollow-body's, short-scale, medium scale and full-scale. My '68 Custom Kraft is full scale so somewhat similar to the JC. Physically they are both long basses - as long as a T-bird and with big bodies. I can't recall what it weighed, but this one had the two Darkstars which add weight. My CK is 7lbs/8oz and the JC felt heavier than that. They feel big playing them and neck-dive is an issue. The big body helps here as one can anchor it with ones forearm while playing. I only played it briefly through my home amps while checking intonation/action etc so can't say how it sounds live. Irv uses his live so would have insights there. I've used the CK live and as with all hollow-body basses, if you stand too close to your amp it will want to howl if not muting the strings with your hands. Quality of the JC is good and it sounds good. All of my hollow-body basses have pu's in different locations and they all sound different from each other, so it's hard to compare to the JC. The impedance selector & centrally located pu seems ideal for a variety of tonal options.

No mute, no covers, dunno about a case. I would have assumed he would mention it if he had the original case or a reissue case. For that price, it ought to have all of those things. And be an exotic color from the factory. And fry me some bacon every morning.

If a Ric with a checkerboard binding showed up cheap enough, I might have some GAS. Not that I'm in the market for a Ric. The El Degas scratches that itch just fine. It didn't come out during the GTG. That may have been an unforgiveable oversight on my part.
Sounds quite nice all the way up the neck. And of course your impeccable playing doesn’t hurt a bit.
I'd rather have Chuck's Blue one. He did really well.
I'll knock off $10k for that price for my '64 because of the repair--and it has not one, but two pickups which makes it more rare.
(I don't think I would ever sell it, but if someone waved $20k in my face I would have to not dismiss it out of hand.)
If I had to buy one, this is certainly a better price--and been there a while.

Thanks George!
They are very nice basses for what they cost.
That black one is made in Korea (2017 IIRC) and has a maple neck. My newer Goldtop is made in China and has a mahogany neck. The body is also a bit larger.
I'll measure the depth of the pickup next time I have one apart.
Very nice playing! Sounds really good as well.
