Been a frequent patron of Zzounds for over half a decade but this is first semi-hollow body bass guitar and not only was it love at first sight but love at first tone and feel. I did not expect the smoothness of the neck profile, fretboard and sound. I play all genres of music but I did not expect to even be able to thump, pop and do funk licks on the Jack Casady as all the other semi-acoustic basses that I have ever encountered could not accept such cruelty from the punishment that us funk bass players pronounce upon our bass guitars and that pick up is like no other pickup quiet, smooth, fat and brilliant is exactly what you get. The feel of a premium electric bass but entry level price. Thanks again Zzounds.
