Wrote the following about Guild Newark St. Collection Starfire I Bass Vintage Walnut Semi-Acoustic Bass Guitar

Was op zoek naar budgetvriendelijk maar degelijk mooi basje. Dit instrument is voor mij ideaal. Speelt heel vlot en klinkt heel leuk, zowel als ik met plectrum speel als zonder. Bij het akoestisch project waar ik bij speel past deze bas heel goed qua sound. De levering was alweer mega snel.
