The Castedosa JPC Short Scale Bass is the result of collaboration, experience, and a shared vision between Joel Peterson, Carlos Lopez, and Empire Music's Anthony Pecora. After spending time with the original prototype at NAMM 2026, Anthony worked directly with the Castedosa team to create a version that reflects the sounds and features he looks for in a great short-scale bass.

Built around the JPC platform, this Empire Exclusive model features the distinctive Conchers body shape, quartersawn maple neck, and comfortable "C" neck profile that have become hallmarks of the design. What separates the Empire version is its carefully chosen refinements, including a reverse-position Curtis Novak PB-90 Precision pickup, a favorite of Anthony's from one of his personal basses. The result is a voice that is punchy, articulate, and full of character, with a unique balance of warmth and clarity.

Additional touches like the matching headstock, non-painted neck, and optional rosewood fingerboard complete a bass that feels both familiar and refreshingly original.

At Empire Music, we love collaborating with builders to create instruments that don't exist anywhere else—and the JPC Short Scale Bass is a perfect example of that philosophy in action.

We are proud to include a full professional setup to factory spec before delivering your new Castedosa. Our world-class techs will dial in your instrument to make sure the playability is maximized!
