Yes that is a Jack Casady model Epiphone. It is the same set up he used when I saw Hot Tuna this past February.

Sounding excellent as always, these gentlemen keep me focused on having musical fun! Jack was my first (and deepest) inspiration on bass.

What head is Jack using (is it an Aguilar like the cab)?  That was a great performance.  They've aged like fine wine (while I seem to age like a stinky cheese).

They were good together in 1965; the intervening 46 years have only helped.  I love watching players with a history together!

I love HOT TUNA; saw them twice a week ago in Colorado. It was the electric band with Abe Fogel sitting in on drums, and, of course, Barry Mitterhoff on various stringed things.
 
Jack is playing an Alessandro amp head in that clip.

I caught Hot Tuna with Barry when they were in Milwaukee - awe inspiring to be in the presence of two guys who's musical history is such as their's. Barry is no slouch either - I was certainly their to see Jack.  
 
It was odd that they did not play the Water Song that night.

When I saw them they had Charlie Musselwhite, Jim Lauderdale and EG Smith playing with them. It was interesting mix of folks to say the least.

I remember when I used to see Jack play Alembic 72-01 . The sound of HIM and Alembic 72-01  and his rig made a lasting impression on me. Back in the '' day  (early to mid 70's). I remember those Marx Meadows free concerts in the Golden Gate Park in San Francisco where I was standing right in front of the stage and checking out the sound and the gear. Good Times ! ROAR !!!!! and RUMBLE !

I saw Hot Tuna at the Hollywood Palladium around 1972 when they still had Papa John Creach in the band. They must have played 5 hours straight. What a show.

And after 14 weeks on the charts, Hot Tuna's Steady As She Goes is still there (at #30).
