Looks like the insanity for Ebay prices has started bleeding into the Epiphone world. $1995 for a Jack Casady?

We've seen this guy's handiwork before here. This the same self-described artist who
defaces
decorates guitars for a living and asks ridiculous prices for them as works of art. Look at his other items. Occasionally someone bites.

That bass has been up for ages. I'd pass unless it's a true Rothko, Picasso or Koons in which case 2.000 Dollars is probably a sensible investment even for an Epi. This particular artist isn't quite in the same league yet though.

Seems to me the last time we noticed that Epi it was priced at $2495. While I do like some of the artists work, this one has less appeal than an unmolested JC. I see he is doing vintage amps now and I find this one pretty cool.

What's that saying about putting lipstick on a pig? Not that an Epi is a pig, but no matter what, it's still a Korean made bass with a bunch of "artistic" crap all over it.

Most people understand that when you do this to an instruments (or amps), you reduce its value. I don't think he'll ever change that by selling them as art.
