Sorry but it's sold.

What a shame! (Relieved).

That's the same one this thread is about unless there are any others on the site I can't see?

Yes, of course it's the same one.

But a different set of pictures because the thread has in part been about the difficulty of capturing the colour accurately.

Thinking about it, I don't like any blue guitars.

Or green.

They're just not guitar colours to me.

Edit: Sonic Blue...I'll give you Sonic Blue...but that's more white than blue, really

Jack's the man, pretty cool how he gigs the stock factory versions of these, shows they must be good!

Anybody have one?

Or it could mean they don't last very long.

[neepheid]

They play very well, sound great and are super light too - a big bonus for long gigs (or playing two gigs in one night with bruised ribs). I sold my first one a couple of years ago to free up some funds, regretted it, almost bought one of the white ones but when these blue ones came along (and I saw how they actually look versus the stock images), I could resist no longer.

[discreet]

Must admit a white one would go very well in my white bass collection.

I really want to pick one of these blue ones up, I was sent a picture by a mate who works at the shop I used to work at.

The only thing putting me off was the black pickup.

Don't know what I'd do to remedy that issue.

Looks pretty good in real life - it's shiny black, not the usual matt black casing.

I used to be in a band with a guitarist with five white Stratocasters - each tuned differently, mostly open tunings, and variant pickup arrangements.

[Casablancas]

And when are they going to make a shortscale run of these basses? It would be so cool ;_;

I doubt that this will ever happen unless Jack Casady lands on his head from a substantial height and forgets how his signature bass looks and feels

[spongebob]

The only bass I actually have GAS for is the JC sig bass. Love JC, love the bass!

[blue]

The Casady is nice. My problem is,it's not a traditional double cutaway body design,

It's why I went with the Gibson Custom Shop ES-335 bass.

I'm looking at a dealers website that says the white LTD Ed one has a mahogany body and top, and the gold signature
one has a maple body and top.
Anyone shed any light on this? And are the white ones old stock?

White one is maple body and top with mahogany neck according to Epiphone website.

Anybody have a JCB in blue they're looking to sell?

I hate blue as a bass colour for some reason. I do have a blue bass though, but only because there was a very cheap Sandberg Basic going in the classifieds and it sounds to good to sell!

I bright red one would look pretty decent though!

I’m the opposite. Love blue. The only red bass I really like is the Nate Mendel P.

Sonic blue & surf green. Fabulous.
