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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FinnDave 2,750 Posted December 12, 2020 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is closest to the real thing?Β I like the second version and would be mightily disappointed if it turned up looking more like the first. The answer is...it doesnβt look like either π Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndyTravis 6,887 Posted December 12, 2020 Iβve a couple of niggles with it. But itβs nothing Iβd send it back over. The E string nut slot isnβt 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)Β I used to sell 100βs of them so I know itβs not just this bass... Ah well. Good fun and that. Will do some recordings in a bit.

AndyTravis 6,887 Posted December 12, 2020 On the colour - itβs mental, itβs about 50 shades of green and blue. The walnut stain back and sides are a lovely contrast. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
