I'm on my third. I've learned my lesson and stopped selling them. The Epiphone Jack Casady is probably my favourite bass of all time. It has attributes which technically should annoy me (brain dead bridge, only 20 frets), so for it to push itself to the front in spite of them should say something about how intangibly good I find them. Sounds great, nice neck, light, fun with feedback if you want to explore that.
I play mine at any gig. I don't pigeonhole basses into genres. It gets played at rock gigs, or with my originals band which is kinda ska-ish.
They're not for everyone. But you'll have to kill me to get my 20th Anniversary JC off me. If I won the lottery, I'd collect for fins. All the finishes. I'd have a JC room.
