Epiphone Jack Casady Bass Faded Pelham Blue


Description
The Epiphone Jack Casady Bass delivers a wide range of amazing acoustic and electric bass tones. This signature model, designed with rock legend Jack Casady, features a stylish semi-acoustic laminate maple body and a special low-impedance, low-output humbucker that captures Casady's iconic full-bodied tone with excellent clarity and definition. The VariTone impedance shifting circuit provides a broad spectrum of high-quality bass sounds to suit any musical situation. The Epiphone Jack Casady Bass combines deep, articulate tone with classic semi-hollowbody style.
Semi-Hollow Maple Body Produces Natural, Woody Tone
The Epiphone Jack Casady Bass features a unique semi-hollow maple body construction that allows the top to vibrate freely, resulting in a warm, woody tone. A mahogany center block under the bridge adds sustain and helps prevent feedback. This innovative design provides the resonant qualities of a hollowbody with the stability of a solidbody.
Special Low-Impedance Humbucker Delivers Signature Sound
Designed in collaboration with Jack Casady, the bass's low-impedance JCB-1 humbucker produces a full, articulate tone that brings Casady's iconic sound to life. The pickup's broad frequency response captures rich lows, crisp highs, and a throaty midrange. Variable coil tapping allows switching between single-coil and humbucker modes for a range of classic Fender and Gibson styled tones.
VariTone Circuit Provides Tonal Versatility
The VariTone impedance selector offers three pickup settings—high, medium, and low—to suit any playing situation. High impedance mode produces a bright, clear tone with an acoustic vibe. Medium impedance delivers a balanced, all-purpose sound with piano-like clarity. Low impedance mode creates a deep, growling tone perfect for rock. Using the VariTone in combination with the volume and tone knobs provides a wide spectrum of bass sounds.
Playability and Style
The set maple neck and rosewood fretboard provide a comfortable playing feel. Stylish features include pearloid trapezoid inlays, body binding, and Jack Casady's signature on the headstock. With pro-quality components, construction and Jack Casady's influential design, the Epiphone Jack Casady Bass brings rock legend style and tone within reach of every bassist.

Quite surprized!
This is the first hollow body I've owned and it has some nice warm, clean tone. What surprized me was the bright high end. Very versatile! It took me awhile to get used to the deep, round neck profile, (also own old Jazz and Thunderbird) It felt a little too NEW. Once I played it for a couple days, I really like it! Intonation was right on out of the box and needed no adjustment.It does have a noisy tone pot. It has a clean sound with a very tight low end. I dont know that I will retire my Jazz but I will have this bass with me at all times. It also stays in tune. For what it costs, it is a must have.

Looks great, but...
This is a really pretty bass, but the quality issues were apparent right away. The tuning pegs were sloppy and, when I tried to tune the G string, the bridge pulled right out of the body.

I've been thinking about adding a hollow body bass to my collection, even though I really didn't need one. I saw this Jack Casady and was taken by its beautiful look, just gorgeous in shape and color. After playing it for a while I knew I had to buy it. Feels great, well constructed, sounds great. And Jason Hirsch the store manager was super cool to deal with. Very happy with this baby.
Great bass!

Never played a hollow body bass before, but the styling was so fantastic, I wanted to give it a try. Was amazed at the versatility it allows from blues to Metal which I didn't expect. Great sound and even better looks, get a lot of compliments on this instrument. #Sweepstakes
Best purchase I've made.

After playing a 1978 Fender P bass (boat anchor) for thirty years, I needed to lighten the load. Finding one of them at the Guitar Center helped me make the decision. Being able to plug it in and explore its wide variety of tones sold me. After getting it home and completing the setup, the action is perfect. I found two quality control issues with it. The tone knob was loose and fell off easily and the logo on the pickguard had come unglued and snagged, getting bent. Both I fixed. The only other issue I had with this was that Epiphone had zero cases for these in the USA. I bought a Guild case for mine, and it fits perfectly.
a nice looking piece .
