Hot or Not? Casino Gold Top

I am a Jack Cassidy fan and I really wanted to like that bass. I tried out a couple when I was bass shopping some years back. Killer looks but extremely neck heavy. It might have sounded good but I was so unhappy with the ballance that I didn't even bother plugging in.

Too bad it turned out that way.
People who own them love the wide variety of tone it makes. Maybe it just needs a good 3" strap to control the neck dive.
 
So happy with my 2003(ish) Casino. I think I scored a jem and a half. Beautiful burst, great fretwork, feels and sounds wonderful. I remember how surprised I was when I picked it up the first time, so light I thought it was a toy.
The Goldie is nice, but not for me.
