From Jack Casady's Sound Lab to a Modern Icon
Designed with the legend from Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna, the Jack Casady Bass captures the spirit of historic semi-hollow basses while adding unique electronics. It holds a special place in the Epiphone lineup: a signature instrument designed for stage and studio, capable of covering both vintage and contemporary styles.
For Whom and Which Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to expert bassists seeking warmth, dynamics, and personality. Perfect for rock, blues, folk-rock, soul, pop, and roots music, it also fits well in modern jazz. Its quick response and natural projection make it a relevant choice for melodic lines and fingerstyle playing; slap is possible but not its primary focus.
The Sound
The JCB-1 low-impedance humbucker delivers a clear signal rich in harmonics. The 3-position impedance selector with a "chicken head" knob shapes the character: 50 for an open, airy sound; 250 for balance and versatility; 500 for more output, mids, and density. The laminated maple semi-hollow body provides "bloom" and great projection, while the 34" scale ensures tension, bass definition, and sustain.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
Long scale 34" string sets with gauges .050-.105 (nickel or flatwound depending on desired tone). Wide strap and standard-compatible strap locks for security. Quality 1/4" jack cable and clip-on tuner for precise stage tuning.
