The first Jack Cassady bass sent to me (September 2006) was bad. The neck had more buzz than a beehive in the summertime! I immediately looked up the Gibson-Epiphone authorized repair people in NYC and was lucky to find Paul at Peekamoose Guitars. Paul is a guitar builder who makes some outstanding guitars for outrageous prices. He is very meticulous and detail oriented. He helped me figure out what was wrong with the bass, get it shipped back, and made sure they knew what I expected in the new bass. I really appreciate his help and one day I will buy my brother one of his amazing guitars.
The second Jack Cassady bass I got was perfect! It is hollow bodied electric bass guitar styled after those 1960s Starfire basses and the Gibson EB2. It has a growl in its sound and has plenty of low end and bite. I have it stringed up with heavy .055 to .110 strings and it is a monster. It has a little bit of an acoustic sound, just enough to make it fun to play unplugged, but when you plug it in it will fill the room.
