With continual creativity and finesse Acoustic Hot Tuna sets out touring across the United States July, August and September. Masters in their field, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady’s joy in playing unfiltered riffs, swapping notes and smiles, has delighted them and thrilled their audiences for seven decades!
Hot Tuna has brought a wealth of emotions to their music through deep perceptions and tremendous talent. Members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Grammy recipients, they are always injecting fresh energy into their sound with constant improvisation taking their musical horizons further. Every note is a unique expression of that very moment.
Hot Tuna performs with a well-honed and solid power – always in the groove from their years of experience and friendship. Jorma enthuses, “Focus on the things you love, listen with an open heart, and the music will speak for itself!” Jack adds, “Playing thrills me now more than ever.”
Epiphone is proud to continue its longest signature artist partnership with the legendary bass player, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee, and founding member of Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna, Jack Casady. For over 150 years, Epiphone has been a leading innovator in instrument design. By leveraging its iconic past and leaning into the future, Epiphone has set the stage for the next era of sound for present and future generations.
The new Epiphone Jack Casady Fretless Bass was and is the culmination of years of experimentation by Casady to find an instrument with superior electric tone and the response of an acoustic bass. It features the Casady-designed JCB-1 Low-Impedance Humbucker, and a three-position rotary impedance control for a wide range of tonal versatility. Now, for the first time in a Fretless version, the bass comes with a premium gig bag.
Designed by Jack Casady and Epiphone, the new Jack Casady Fretless Bass is available worldwide now at authorized Epiphone dealers and here.
