New Jack Casady ltd anniversary edition, cherry red flame maple top

[dannybuoy]

Always wanted to try one of these, so this is tempting! Specs look like it has a J-width nut this time too, even better.

That looks sweet!

[hookys6stringbass]

This is the colour I've been waiting for... beautiful!!
I'm not sure it is a J width...I think it's a mistake...

[dannybuoy]

Probably - the blurb says 1.6535" and the table below it says 1.5"! Doesn't look narrow in the pics.

[fftc]

All the others have been wider so can't see why they'd change now.
Still fancy one of these but the cherry isn't doing it for me.

[KiOgon]

Oh my!

Yes please, that's sweet & I don't even play these days

[Cat Burrito]

I thought it looked great. I like gold top finishes but I never went wild on the finish on the original JC bass. I wound up selling mine on. This is much more up my street, although because I have the Hofner verythin long scale bass in cherry, I wouldn't entertain buying one myself. A hit for me though.

edited for mistyping hit as bit!

I wonder how much these are going to be...???

[Root45]

I'd factor in the cost of a better bridge. No individual string height adjustment on the Epi Bass Bridge

Wish they would cut down those oversized headstocks.

I bought a JC after playing a Chowny at the LBGS - really liked the Chowny. The JC? Not so much...sold it on fairly quickly. There's a much bigger colour range with the Chownys too - the green burst is [i]luverly[/i]...

I am so tempted by this, but I if it really has a narrower nut, that MIGHT put me off. I pay Jazz basses, but prefer my Precisions and JCB. The chunky neck is an integral part of the character of these basses for me.

[neepheid]

I highly doubt that they've changed the neck specifications. It's made to Jack Casady's specifications for 20 years and suddenly he/they decide that the neck's too chunky? Seems unlikely considering how involved he was in the design and how he's been using them professionally ever since.

[neepheid]

This bass is so lovely to me that for a fleeting moment I considered selling up all my other basses so I could collect a JC Sig of every finish which has been made available.

Then I gave myself a slap. This one is neat looking though, I might be tempted to grab one just for the anniversary-ness of it all to sit next to my oh-so-sparkly blue royale one.

[FinnDave]

The chance of one of these red ones arriving here to keep the gold top company is pretty damn high!

[basskit_case]

The anniversary basses are now in the shops, Andertons and GAK have them at £599. Same price as the standard version, surprised at that considering the bits and pieces you get with it.

Anybody got one?

[FinnDave]

That does look good in red...but much as I love my gold Casady, it doesn't get played often, and I've bought too many basses already this year! But...red...hmmmm.

I'm pretty sure that's a 1.65" nut.
