An earlier thread got me GASsing for a Jack Casady and now I keep coming back to look at that Gretsch...

WHY MUST YOU POST SUCH NICE GEAR? (don't stop)

I had never even consider (semi-)hollow basses before ILF.

LOL!
I've played a Gretsch hollow body at guitar center YEARS ago and it was pretty fuck'n rad.

yes, my son, but it will cost your clan many, many sheep.

yeah for that money you can buy a Gretsch

Which at that point you have to ask: Do I want a modern electric bass that happens o be a hollow body or... a ol' school hollow body bass? Both have pros and cons depending on what type of sounds you actually want, what you like to play, and which one comes in orange.

I played the orange gretsch a while ago, it's aight. The neck dive is bad, not a deal breaker but bad. Have you looked at the epiphone Jack Cassidy bass?

Here is a link to a hollow body bass from a wholesale instrument warehouse in Wisconsin. I've never tried one of their instruments, I'm assuming the quality is squier or similar quality:

^^^ This ^^^ From what I hear, it's a great sounding bass, but that lower horn is a deal-breaker.
