Description
The Epiphone Jack Casady Fretless Bass lets you tap into the resonant, upright tone and slick playability that the legendary Jefferson Airplane bassist designed. With its carved maple body and mahogany neck, this bass produces an acoustic-like warmth and clarity. The fretless laurel fingerboard provides a smooth playing surface for executing slides and vibrato with precision. Casady's custom JCB humbucker dishes out a wide range of vintage tones from round and thumpy to sharp and punchy via the 3-way rotary impedance switch.
Carved Maple Body Resonates Like an Upright
The Epiphone Jack Casady Fretless Bass's carved maple body resonates like an upright bass, generating woody warmth and clarity. Its mahogany neck also provides ideal density and responsiveness for fretless playing. Together, these tonewoods produce acoustic-level resonance and projection so your tone cuts through the mix.
Fretless Laurel Fingerboard Enables Expressive Techniques
With the Epiphone Jack Casady Fretless Bass's laurel fingerboard, you can execute slides, vibrato and legato passages with precision. Laurel's hardness and smoothness allow your fingers to glide effortlessly along the neck. The lack of frets also provides more finger contact with the fingerboard so you have enhanced control and sensitivity for shaping notes expressively.
Custom JCB Humbucker Dials in Vintage Tone
Designed by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legend, Jack Casady himself, the custom JCB humbucker dishes out a wide range of vintage tones from thumpy to sharp and punchy. Switch between round, midrangey tones and more articulate highs using the 3-way VariTone impedance rotary switch. Volume and tone knobs provide further tonal customization on the fly so you can adapt your tone to any song or genre.
