basstone Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) Epiphone Jack Casady bass in metalic gold, this is an early one from early 2000s. It's not seen much use so generally in great condition, just a couple of small dings on the top. Comes with the Epiphone fitted case and the "E" badge for the scratchplate is also there but not fitted. These are great looking and sounding basses with the low impedance pickup and matching transformer to give 3 distinct sounds. It's probably a long shot but I'd be open to a trade for an Ibanez SRF 700 / 705? Edited March 10, 2023 by basstone Bass now sold to a happy new owner 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJPJ Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 This is lovely. Has the pickup has been flipped upside down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not by me anyway, that's how it was when I bought it new. Never really thought about it either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJPJ Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Fair enough. I'm a bit OCD so spotted it immedaitely. I wonder if it has any influence on the actual sound - no idea how the coil is structured to answer that! I''m assuming it can be easily flipped back if wanted/needed anyway. I really love these basses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will as it happens - check out post #29 here. The pickup is asymmetrical, but a very easy job to flip it as you said.

I can't detect any string tone or volume variations between strings. It is a fairly unique bass with a distinct range of sounds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulThePlug Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) ... can the pup gubbins come out of the cover?... could just be the cover rotated... agreed, makes my teeth itch. Edited December 9, 2022 by PaulThePlug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahambythesea Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Great basses, presumably this will be one of those made by Peerless in Korea? The quality of their instruments is superb, my JC is one sold under their own name. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very well made though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very well made though I have one of these, love it lots and it's a keeper. As the label says from the Peerless factory. If I recall correctly they kept making them under their own nail after the production moved elsewhere so a bit later than you suspect? The build is superb and it comes with lighter tuners and a smaller headstock. I upgraded the bridge on mine Jack Cassidys are great basses, it will handle any genre of music from country to metal.

Grahambythesea Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 They are remarkably versatile for a single pickup bass, this is definitely worth buying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
