Epiphone Jack Casady Bass, Ebony Overview
"Don't you want somebody to love?" One of the most recognisable hits of Jack Casady from Jefferson Airplane. The Epiphone Jack Casady Signature Bass Guitar has been specially designed in collaboration with Epiphone and the man himself. For fans of Hot Tuna and Jefferson Airplane, the design of this guitar has been based on Casady's original, vintage 1972 Gibson Les Paul bass.
As well as vintage looks, Casady also worked hard to ensure this bass would deliver the perfect tone. The JBC Low-Impedance humbucker provides you with a pure, bass tone and a low impedance as the name suggests. This is matched with simple controls for volume and tone. And what about the construction? The Jack Casady Bass has been carefully created with a maple hollowbody, along with a mahogany centre-block for added sustain. Combined with a full host of vintage and modern appointments, fans can enjoy a pure bass tone with stylish looks.

Full Description
View Full DescriptionPure, resonant bass tone with reduced feedback
Jack Casady is renowned for his distinctive tone. The Jack Casady Signature bass features a JCB-1 low impedance, low output pickup and employs a three-position transformer to shape the frequency response. As the name suggests, this pickup produces a pure sound that active electronics cannot match.
The ultimate instrument for any touring bassists. The Epiphone Jack Casady Bass features a maple hollow-body, along with a mahogany centre-block. With a hollow construction and classic F-holes, the sound is much more resonant and warm when compared to a solid-body design. It's lighter too - allowing you to perform for much longer without that agonising shoulder strain!
Vintage looks
It's clear to see that this bass has taken inspiration from a Gibson Les Paul. Its metallic gold finish, cream scratch-plate, and control knobs all contribute towards that classic LP vibe. Turn heads for the right reasons with the Epiphone Jack Casady Bass.
