It is time to thin the herd. So up for sale is my Jack Casady Bass in Metallic Gold.

I bought this in October 2021 from Mark (Limelight) at Classic & Cool, a super gentleman to deal with btw.

I rehearsed with it a few times, but the project I bought it for never took off. It's been cased since about March 22. I have a few other semi acoustic basses, so I really should control my purchases, as I never really needed this.

Condition-wise, it's excellent, no scuffs or dings and it plays really well, has a super low action. It's strung with Fender flats and when combined with

the JCB low-impedance pickup it produces some really nice deep tones.

In the words of Mark... 'it has a bridge/tailpiece addition which has been done very well, it's a high quality part (Warwick) and does have a few advantages - you can use more types of strings as the wrap doesn't now come over the saddles, it increases the string break angle, and makes it more resonant.' It does provide an extra bit of resonance when compared to a friends JC with the stock bridge set up IMO.

The back of the neck has been flattened slightly so not as glossy as the rest of the back, but makes it nice to play. (Hardly noticeable. )The truss rod cover was missing, so currently sports a blank replacement, although there is there is also an aftermarket E cover included.

There is no pickguard, I actually think they look better without, but this is down to personal taste.

What is does have is the elusive Epiphone hard case which are over £100 if you can find one, supplies trickle in and out. This has seen some action, but is in good solid condition.

Not really looking to trade, but I am partial to anything in Sonic / Powder Blue (try me).

Postage will be at buyers expense. Rest assured it will be packed with care should it need to be shipped.

Any questions on this sale, just message and I'll comeback to you.
