I love this man. Stays in the background. Beautiful soul. After all the years still relevant and unique...

Love this guy!

The Great Jack Cassady!

One of the best ever. I can't think of a rock bassist that came anywhere near the level of creativity he displayed when he was with the Airplane.

While I don't deny that these players were/are all idols of mine, I find it interesting that al of these type of lists tend to skip over the studio musicians. I feel that Leland Sklar is as talented and skilled as any of these folks (and possibly Carol Kaye as well), but because they chose to make their living working in the studio, they were often overlooked. Going further, I REALLY don't like and have little use for "the greatest" lists because musicians in general and studio musicians in particular have to be true to the song rather than shoot for the spotlight. It's not that one bassist is "better" than the other, it's more that one style of playing calls for a different technique or playing style than another.

Merci , c'est toujours un immense plaisir d'entendre Jack Casady (avec un seul "s") jouer (notamment avec l'Airplane et Jorma Kaukonen), son jeu est si mélodieux , tout en étant bien rythmé et varié . Thank you Jack !

i love you Jack. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for a life long of music., I saw you last at McCarter in Princeton, You are the best.

Tasty. Beautiful. I love all kinds of music, but came up in the days the great 60's and 70's bands. No arpeggios, no flurries at lightening speed, just beautiful taste, tone, and melody.

THE master of the rock electric bass.

IMO Jack Casady, Jack Bruce and Paul McCartney are the 3 best bassists of the '60s.

No question, the three of them, plus the bass player of the millenium, the untouchable John Entwistle, those were my major influences and inspiration for years. In the 70s, Bruce Thomas (of EC & The Attractions) did things no one else was doing. Interesting that with the exception of Jack Bruce, all were self-taught.

Thank you Jack

"All you need." (Pigpen, 1966.)

Sounds acoustic. Love this sound. Slappers take note

Beautiful.

Lovely, thanks. It would be too cool to hear what Mr. Casady would do with that balalaika in back.

Yes, Jack Casady is in my top 5 bass players ever, too but with everybody's list of other greats, doesn't anyone know who is missing? Oh well, I guess nobody has ever heard of PHIL LESH...

So much musical bass work! He is wonderful Thank you to notice the right name as "Casady"

Hey Jack, where can I get the tab for this? Just kidding. I have one of those sweet 20th anniversary Epiphone basses and I love it. You are an inspiration to a man grown old and getting older. Thank you, Jack.

Jack is about to convert me, a lifelong fingerpicker over to the electric bass. I want 1 Epiphone Casady bass stock, and I want another one with a Novak BSDS pickup. Such tone... Thank you, Jack Casady!

The Novak BSDS would really be awesome on the Epiphone. The Gibson I’d leave original.

nice to see him with the les paul bass again! anyway the right spelling is casady.. check it out

Amen

I just ordered this bass. I would REALLY like to know 1. what strings he was using here and 2. what rig/effects he was playing through. This is the sound that I'm after ... especially the 'fret drag' (the sound of fret to fret to fret steps when he drags his finger across the fingerboard). I am doubting that the stock bass does this without help.

I had the great opportunity to see Jack Cassidy perform live with Electric Hot Tuna - he was so Awesome to see in person - especially with Front Row Seats at the Westchester Premier Theater. Definitely one of the greatest R&R Bass players of all time! RIP Jack Cassidy - your legacy will live on forever!

Lessee...can anyone make out what that four note chord he plaays pretty often in this is?

Nice balalaika on backwards

Jack is not dead Bill! But his wife....

his music is the closest thing to God for me.

Loneliest thing in the world is to play bass alone

Correction: a non-bassist quickly becomes bored playing bass. An actual bassist can put himself in a trance.
