Blue JCS and Blue Allen Woody
« on: June 14, 2016, 11:38:43 AM »
if only the JCS had a white pickup.... Well I have a cream one somewhere. Am I right this is the first JCS with pickguard?

All JCS basses have a pickguard Chris.


Oh, and I like the fact that the Rumblekat does not have the fugly gold hardware.  ;)

People do remove the pickguards fairly often!

I quite like the blue JCS, but not with the black fittings.

Gibsonj/ Epi logic:  cream pickup on a black bass and the exact same pickup in black on a blue bass with otherwise white hardware.

I like it. Not crazy about the black pickup either though. It kinda sorta ties in with the headstock and knobs if you really use your imagination.  :rolleyes:

Are these really 34'' scale? Hard to trust Gibson website specs...

Made in China I assume?

The Casady has always been 34". Both were made in Korea for years, don't know if they still are.

Did Peerless make them for a while? I know they released their own JCS; identical with the exception of the headstock.

I think Epiphones aren't made in Korea for years anymore. I guess China or Indonesia?

My Epi JCS is from the Peerless factory. March 2003. Unit 0287

Still made in Korea as of 2015 (FWIW - does it even matter any more?) - and yes, the Blue Royale is lush and not anything like the stock photography.




Look how sparkly it is!  Last one taken with no flash - in reality it hovers between the two extremes.

I like blue sparkly a LOT.  Something about that color in general...

What means this word ending in "urple?" No referent. Sounds impolite. 😉

That blue looks much better than the promo shots I've seen from Epiphone. The promo shots make it look like a cheap solid finish.
