I am reading this thread with my eyes closed….get thee behind me, Casady!

Don't forget to check that the output jack socket nut is done up properly, they are a bit of a sod to get back in place when the nut falls off.

I used to fix 3 or 4 ‘Dots’ Casinos and Sheratons every Saturday for 12 years...they’re awful for it 😂

I think it's the flexibility of the top, one of my band mates has a semi-acoustic guitar (d'Angelico, I think) and the socket disappeared inside the guitar - took him a while to get it out and fixed.

Just off upstairs to check the socket on my JCB gold top!

So the two "blue" ones are supposed to be the same colour? Which is closest to the real thing? I like the second version and would be mightily disappointed if it turned up looking more like the first.

The answer is...it doesn’t look like either 😂

Sultan, as a point is a top bloke. He’s here with alarming regularity...he chuckled and said “another one”.

He also does the collections for Eurosender when the basses are going the other way 😂

Mrs Travis “Andy you need to stop buying so many basses, look at our accounts/lack of space”

Andy “it’s ok we’ve just about enough, and we have to think of Sultan too - he needs us. I Once left it a couple of months and he was crying tears of happiness when I saw him next.”

Exactly the conversation we’ve just had...

I’ve a couple of niggles with it. But it’s nothing I’d send it back over. The E string nut slot isn’t sufficiently wide for the provided string, Its not fully sat in the slot. Will sort that shortly.

My last Casady also suffered with pickup screw wobble, and I know of a few others - I will sort that.

I think Epiphone have always come with odd characteristics (shonky QC) I used to sell 100’s of them so I know it’s not just this bass...

Ah well. Good fun and that.

Will do some recordings in a bit.
