A semi-hollow signature bass modeled on the custom instruments Jack Casady played with Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna, built around a single low-impedance pickup.
About the Epiphone Jack Casady Signature Bass
Casady, best known for his work with Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna, favored custom semi-hollow basses with a single low-impedance pickup and onboard active electronics rather than the passive P/J designs common on mainstream basses of his era. Epiphone's signature model reproduces that layout in a chambered mahogany body with a maple top, prioritizing warmth and resonance from the semi-hollow construction over the higher-output, more aggressive voicing typical of solidbody active basses.
The single low-impedance pickup, paired with an onboard preamp, gives a tonal character distinct from typical dual-pickup P/J or humbucker basses, aimed at players seeking Casady's specific warm, rounded low end rather than a general-purpose modern bass tone.

Sound character of the Epiphone Jack Casady Signature Bass
The single low-impedance pickup Casady favored has an extended, flatter frequency response than a typical passive magnetic pickup, trading some of the midrange growl of a P or J pickup for a smoother, cleaner voice, while the chambered mahogany/maple semi-hollow body adds warmth and air the solid-body basses of his era lacked.
