So has anyone taken the p,unge yet on one of these fretless Jack Casady basses?

Not yet. Got a really busy 2025 house wise so I might have to hang fire…

 

I do really want one.

I had a go on one for about 10 mins in the Gibson garage the other day and really liked it. I'm no fretless aficionado and that 10mins playing probably doubled the amount of time I've spent playing a fretless, but it feels every bit as good a my fretted JC......but I sounded a lot worse 😂

 

If I were looking for a nice fretless then I'd definitely be looking at it. It seems to fill a nice gap when it comes to unlined fretless and that price point and you have the typical JC fell and quality.

Anyone else had a go on one of these? I'm seriously tempted.

Well, to answer my own question, I tried the 3 they had at Wunjo’s in Denmark St yesterday, and walked out with one. I was very impressed, sounded beautiful, and the weight, feel, sound and build quality were very consistent between the three.

 

Also a shout out to the excellent and patient service at Wunjo, even on a busy saturday. They currently have the Casady fretless at £649, which is cheaper than anywhere else I can see.

The people in Wunjo are brilliant - enjoy your new toy!!

I came very close to buying one a couple of weeks ago, but I was also looking to buy a van so held off. 

I got the van just over one fretless Jack Casady less than he was asking, so who knows... 

Maybe one will be on its way soon 😁

 

Enjoy yours, they look wonderful, and if my fretted one is anything to go by, they are wonderful.

I've got one, and it's tremendous!

It's no delicate flower, not  moodily melodic or owt like that. It's a bruiser, with an absolutely huge  tone, particularly when slightly overdriven.

I'm very sorely tempted but can't find one in Mexico and with the current *ahem* 'situation' I'm not going to try importing aything as duty could be mad.
