[center][size=5][b]Epiphone Jack Casady Bass in Metallic Gold for Sale[/b][/size][/center]

Guys, this should be marked as sold as a friend of mine purchased it shortly after the advert was put up.

PM'd. Thanks

Thanks guys. yes it was experience of the LPS I was really interested in as I love my Jack Casady (especially as its lightweight) but I had heard that the LPS is a level above but for £2.5-3K i guess it better be! I wish Gibson would just reissue it but that won't happen all the while the JC is selling well.

This is top of my wish list but I've never seen one in the flesh or had the chance to try out. I have an Epiphone Jack casady and wondered how close to the Les Paul these really are?
I know the LPS has a few extras but what about the neck size and playability, any one tried both???
Never seen one for sale in the UK so I'm betting they are mega rare here and if I import from the USA I'll have some hefty taxes to pay I'm sure.

My Gibsons. The ES335 is totally amazing and the Les Paul is a real tone monster that is massivley underated and has a powerful output for just about any style.
think they stopped making the ES335 after a year as Gibson tend to do. Hopefully they'll reissue the Les Paul Signatures soon!

I love this old fella. It's an all original (I think) 1974 (I think), Gibson Les Paul Signature bass. I spent ages looking for one, and vowed to sell the Epiphone Jack Cassidy when I got one.... but didn't!

It's a bonkers tone circuit, and, as it's a full scale length, it has a bit more twang than most of the shorter scale Gibson semi-acoustic basses.[attachment=196985:IMG_2820.JPG]
[/quote]Wow, some one in the UK that actually has a Gibson Les paul Signature Bass... a rare sight indeed! Any more pixs?

I've been more of a jazz bass player than a P bass player over the years.

My first, which I still have, was/is a 1972 black with black scratchplate, rosewood board. Its got a couple of scuff from being well played over the years but othewise its in mint condition & plays beautifully.

I've also got a 1975 maple neck Jazz - the body was originally sunburst but its been stripped & sanded. Its quite a bit heavier than the '72 & has a much hotter output.

My favourite bass & a relatively recent purchase is a '64 Custom Shop Jazz in British Racing Green, with matching headstock, with a mint green scratch plate.

That is gorgeous and my ideal Jazz bass. Love the colour and bet it sounds awesome! Can I ask if you got it in the UK or did you get it from overseas?

I had the good fortune of trying out their Gagliano bass and it was the highlight of the visit for me. Awesome bass and beautiful to look at... I instantly fell for it and would love to have in my collection but very pricey.
I chatted to George and he was a really nice guy and I hope the brand does well and takes off. Good to support a quality British brand!

Gibson [i]have[/i] made some pretty basses IMO. The Thunderbirds pictured earlier are a prime example, as is the Les Paul Signature bass which was the basis of the Epi Jack Casady;

Why will Gibson not reissue this bass? Probably the best bass they made although I have yet to see one up close.

From the guy that put a checkerboard pickguard on a LPB jazz bass. Dude. You have no place to comment on taste here.

For the record I believe that the prettiest bass that Gibson made was the more excitingly coloured Thunderbird II instruments in the '60s.

Thats one beautiful looking Thunderbird!

[b] Gibson The Switchblade Premium Guitar Strap[/b]

I received this as a gift earlier in the year and it is ideal for heavy guitars or those that suffer from back ache. I haven’t really put it to good use as I have another similar Gibson Montana strap too so its time to move it on.If you play heavy Les Pauls or similar this strap will be perfect for you and has an array for extras designed for comfort and ease of use. Its high quality with thick padding and made from leather.
Retails for around £70-80 new so pick up a bargain and save your back!


[b]This is what they say about it: [/b]
Quite possibly the most comfortable strap you will ever own, the Switchblade is full of modern innovation. Gibson Gear has pushed the envelope on design to produce a strap with a high-tech nylon buckle (with quick-release connect) and a brilliant elastic design for added comfort. Of course, the Switchblade also features half-inch thick memory foam padding covered by soft and thick, top-quality, full-grain top leather. The black strap includes a wide, thick and soft leather pad and soft garment leather backing and is detail stitched. You’ve never seen anything like it. Length adjustable between 47.5"-60".

Will post for £5 but prefer collection (Bromley, North Kent)

yeah it was a fender headstock but the chrome tuners needed a little filing work in order to lock together. I must of had a bad batch because the slightest stress and the cog crumbled... I have to say they don't look especially strong

Anyone had any experience fitting these?

I bought a set and had a hell of a time fitting them. Once I had manged to do this I began putting the strings on and the cogs on the D string tuner basically stiffened and then the teeth crumbled away!
I can't send them back because I had to do some minor sounding down on two of them (would not affect the cog area) so they would fit together on the head.

I'm shocked at the quality of a geuine fender part.... Think I'll stick to G&L in the future!!
