My original “twins” - Ash body, maple cap, ebony boards…21 frets (or 21 positions on fretless), Seymour Duncan classic stacks and VVTT controls. Epiphone Jack Casady basses - 20th Anniversary and Ltd Pelham.

Oh no - sorry, I meant the foil € Not the truss cover x

Well, I got a single one off eBay rather than a sheet of them off aliexpress… No idea what I’d do with 12 of the buggers

Thanks to @ezbass looks like the truss Rod cover is in hand. I know with it being a commemorative model, seems sacrilegious, but it’s just my brain. awaiting the 2025 gigs to recreate this…

Yeah - its wonderful. Like a Mos Eisley Cantina but with a heart of gold 😉 Congratulations on 10 years x

Took a better photo before, weird as it’s bright cherry in some lights…and dark wine red in others. Anyhow… I want one of these… As I don’t really like the “anniversary” stuff on the truss cover, looks a bit Mickey Mouse…

Yeah…I now have 4 songs in the set where fuzz is employed… Always the signature “bwooooooooo” just before I kick in playing I like it and try to make it musical 😂

Well. That’s that for now. At some point, probably for Christmas off Mrs T - A Babicz and a set of Grovers like my blue one… But, it looks great.

Ah mate - lovely gesture, absolute gutter to miss the gig. hope you’re feeling ok x

Looks like someone’s had the same idea… I’ve got a stick on E though, so it’ll look “proper”

So about a month ago - I decided to sell my Gibson Ripper to fund some house work for my little girl who needs a wet room… you have most likely seen the thread…no further comment…(love you guys). Ive been swapping between the Ripper and My Jack Casady… Both absolutely heroic in their own right. I’ve a potted history with Casady’s - I adore them and with a few minor tweaks, they’re ideal for me. So, resigned to the fact I’d be Gibson-less, I sold some bits and bobs I had in storage and a lovely little peavey bass to buy a gold Casady like my old one - to sit next to my blue one (one flats, one rounds…) But then I spotted an Anniversary model on a facebook marketplace listing which I’ve always loved (although I hated the white pickguard). The seller would not ship - and no matter how I wanted it…I agreed it was a stupid move in a gigbag. My loverboy @walshy stepped in and took the Casady under his wing. After a few weeks of trying to figure out when I could get to Hexham or he could get to Manchester. We managed it. By this point - the wonderful folk of BC had negated the sale of the Gibson by raising funds to help with the project for Iris. So I’ve now got 2 Casady’s and a ripper. Weirdly, the neck profiles are totally different - the blue one has a flatter profile, the Anniversary has a deeper shape. Needs a clean and a set up. The wonderful Earlpilanz on eBay has done me a black pickguard which is in the post. Actually really cheap (£20 all in, mental) At some point, I’ll have to sort some longer straps; the casady sits higher than I have the ripper even on the same straps because of the button position/body depth. but that’s me and gear done - for the next few years while we upgrade the house… Anyhow…fat bottomed girls…you make the rocking world go round…

This is mint! Take it easy, don’t undo all the good work so far! x
