About Jack Casady

Jack Casady is an American bass guitarist, best known as a member of Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna. Casady, along with the other members of Jefferson Airplane, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. When Epiphone and Jack Casady first released Jack's signature bass in 1997, it was the culmination of years of experimentation by the innovative bassist to create an instrument that had superb electric tone but also had the response of an acoustic bass. It has since become a favourite for pros around the world.
