stingrayfan Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 (edited) You've got GAS. Only a bass-related purchase will cure it. Edit: if you like that sort of semi-acoustic thing, there's also the [url="http://www.imuso.co.uk/ProductDetail.asp?StockCode=EG01450"]Hofner Club Bass[/url] or the much cheaper [url="http://www.bass-soup.com/prod-show.asp?id=39&prod=Ibanez-Ibanez-AGB140-semi-acoustic-bass"]Ibanez version.[/url] Edited September 25, 2007 by stingrayfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodl2005 Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 U got it!!!!! I do like the Ibanez version...........buit it's hard to go past THAT look re the Epi JC bass!!!! Does sound & feel nice too!!! Sounded a bit more 'vintage' than the Ibanez IIRC. The Hofner-well 1. there's hardly any Hofners out here & 950 UKlbs is like $2500AUS + the govt double up duty the Aus Govt. put on ALL imported guitars - so that make that bass-Lovely tho it looks- WAY outta my reach at about $6900000.00 AUD!! Thanx for the reply anyway... Contacted the shop again today(which is in Sydney-I'm in Hobart..... Freight-$30) & they are gonna chuck in a HS case-Hard to find ones to fit as it's a WIDE body shape- for a li'l extra cash.....so................ Gas not solved even if I DO grab this ...as I tried the Fender Jaguar out today-TOTALLY different kettle of fish but..... Whoo hooo LIKE IT!!!!! Active/passive, series/parralel.......etc.... NICE bass!!!!! ;-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal Mail standard parcels would have cost £9.35.[/quote] I was really interested in these but I watched a preview of his tutor video and was left unimpressed with the tone.

rodl2005 Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share Posted September 28, 2007 I tried a few of them. Wasn't impressed w/ 3 or so but grabbed one @ a city store & it felt AND sounded GREAT!!!! Damnit!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaker Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Here is my perspective on the JC. I wanted a ‘non-Fender’ style bass as a counterpoint in looks and tone to my other stuff, and looked at a Guild B301, an Ovation Magnum and a Gibson Ripper. I ended up choosing the Jack Casady. This may be the sexiest bass ever…it just looks so cool. It plays great as well after I set it up properly. There is something about the gold top, half 335/half Les Paul body shape and the ‘varitone’ that I find really appealing. Tonally, it is a cross between a ‘pumped up’ Precision and a Rickenbacker…full, but clanky(in a good way!), and remarkably flexible. Enjoy!

farmer61 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Got a black one with flats on it. I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basskit_case Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Took delivery of a Goldtop version yesterday, managed to get a deal on it as well £463 delivered. Not had much time to get to grips with it, but it looks a knock out. Think I need a longer strap, due to the position of the strap button.
