BigRedX Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 The Ibanez isn't 34" scale. AFAIK the Warwick is the only 34" 5-string semi-hollow bass currently in production. I don't know how it compares with the JC because I've never played one. However I use one and it sounds great to me. One thing to watch if it's important to you is that the Rockbass version has a flat top and back as opposed to the arch-top of the Warwick version.

This one is a short scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahambythesea Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Spectorcore 5 has that single centrally situated pickup, but it is 35ins scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 There's more to the sound of a Jack Casady than where the pickup is - the body is almost completely hollow, the low-impedance pickup for starters. It's a difficult question the OP poses, one which I fear does not have a 100% satisfactory answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazed Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Would love an Atlansia, but all that design and individuality comes at a mighty price. Here's another not so common brand, I'd never seen or heard of it until I randomly saw it on The Bass Gallery site. Normandy Archtop Bass - Aluminium body. http://thebassgallery.com/index.php/bass/archtop-bass.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
