Epiphone Jack Casady Bass - An Awesome Semi-Hollow Bass Guitar! - Review & Demo!

Музыка

Dagan demoes the Epiphone Jack Casady Bass in the sleek, sexy Ebony finish! Deep, articulate tone and classic hollowbody style are the hallmarks of this bass. The maple body, mahogany block under the bridge, set maple neck, and rosewood fretboard conspire to create a sweet-playing bass you won't want to put down.
Inspired by the Les Paul Basses and ES hollowbodies of the early 1970s, Epiphone have created the Jack Casady Signature with a unique tonal palette.
This great bass comes equipped with a single low-impedance JCB-1 humbucker with VariTone control, as well as traditional volume and tone knobs. Pearloid trapezoid fingerboard inlays, body binding, and Jack's signature across the headstock set it apart from any other bass in the same price bracket.

8:10 Final Thoughts & Outro
Jack Casady, electric rock bass player extraordinaire, worked closely with Gibson and Epiphone to create this tasty signature model. It's a long-scale, hollowbody electric bass constructed loosely around his vintage 1972 Gibson Les Paul Signature bass, discovered in a New York instrument shop in the mid '80s.
Starting from there, Jack spent a lot of energy working with a pickup designer from Epiphone putting together a new humbucker to reside in his signature model. Together they nailed down a passive pickup and control section that delivered tone so pure and natural it'll give you goose bumps.

    Great vid, Dagan! The sound is awsum from the fingers vs a pick! I love how Epiphone left the bottom horn more of a Les Paul style and the top horn a 335 style!

    I still like my ebony JC epiphone. If It would have been available I would have gone for the special edition silverburst. This bass I choose mainly for off the grid sessions at night when I´m already too lazy to plug it in but wanna have a quick strum. my fav setting though is the impedance at 250 - kinda p bass sound - and tone rolled back to 4.

    I have the classic gold one - they started making cool colors right after I got mine. Great bass. This is probably the absolutely worst bridge ever designed, but the bass plays and feels great. It's not a speed machine nor is it super versatile, but the 3 main tones it has are the 3 you really need in your arsenal. It's also really cool to look at and interesting.

    There are a ton of videos of Jack Casady playing his signature bass that are worth watching too because....Jack Casady. It was cool hearing a different approach tho, good demo, Dagan. I own an Ebony JC bass. Love the tone, love the look of it, and the neck is comfortable. the neck dives like a mf, remedied with a wide strap. i've had a little trouble w the body of the bass pitching forward (different than neck dive), which makes it a little more difficult to balance and is the only thing i don't like about the bass.....but, if Jack and Dagan can overcome that, maybe i'll figure it out too. Also, strings... this bass sounds great with flat wounds, Jack plays with rounds and it sounds great too.

    It’s fun how most reviews pickup his bass was a les Paul shape and this isn’t. That’s not actually a bad thing. Les Paul basses are fine short scale, but full scale bass and it does what Gibson guitars turned into basses always do with a few extra inches of wood (😏); the nose dives for the floor every time you take your hand off the neck. Especially as Jack wanted a hollow body it would have been unplayable with a smaller body . These are far better scaled and balanced bodies., though as you can see from the way dagan can’t let go of it for a second, it’s still pretty nose heavy, it annoys me a bit, but it’s not too bad Really Jack wanted to improve the les Paul bass and I think he did it. Many people complain about 1 pickup but I don’t really see it as a limitation tbh. If you must have 2 get a jazz bass or one of the 10,000 PJ’s. This jack Cassidy does the classic rock bass tone so well it actually shames most Gibson basses tbh. So yeah, I don’t play mine a heap, but I absolutely love it when I do. Jack did what he set out to do ultimately; make a better Gibson bass. Only weakness is that terrible 3 point bridge, but then would it really be a Gibson style bass if it didn’t have the curse of the 3 point?

    Have wanted one of these for ages, but being a lefty I am limited to the gold top they catalogue. I'm just not that flash, or good enough player to rock that look. Why if they do a lefty, why do they limit the colours, I like the blue and the black.

    It is a bass that sounds amazing in person. Mine is very bright and vibrant, with a very strong signal and lots of low frequencies. Quite different than this demoed instrument (except that mid range thing when using a pick), but it seems these basses are quite varied in this regard. Or perhaps this bass is just this sensitive to individual touch... I have heard some that are very bassy and plush sounding too, so it may be the case of touch sensitivity. Also, a great and comfortable neck, with very low action.
