This is a Prototype Epiphone Casady SOLD
I showed Jack a pic of this bass - he told me that Epi made up several different bass configurations for him to try while he was designing the bass. He called them "rejects". So either I have a reject or a prototype - either way this bass stands on its own :-) It surfaced in Nashville. No signature on the headstock; different pickup; a six position varitone switch that is not connected to anything. Narrower nut width - more like a Jazz; smaller headstock. Original Hard Shell Case

Jack Casady Signature Goldtop SOLD
Epi Jorma Sig |
SOLD Alembicized Guild Starfire (1970 or so)

Rob Allen MB-2 Lined Fretless 4 String SOLD
2003 model. Upcharge optional Mahogany top & back !
"The wood is a curly mahogany top on a mahogany back. I've only made a couple like this so it's a rare bass in that sense."- email from RA Mint; no case.

Alembic Custom Small Body SOLD Built Dec. 2003 - Technically an Essence, according to the serial #, but I defy anyone to find any essence in it :-). Short Scale, side LEDs, custom narrow neck, neck pickup placed closer to neck; Europa Electronics, Vermillion top & core. Nut measurement is 1.5 inches and tapers up to a very thin 2 inches at the 12th fret. It plays like buttah, sounds like the God of Thundah!
