General
This green Guild Starfire Bass II is a reissue of the popular hollow-body bass guitar from the 1960s. The body is made of mahogany with a high-gloss polyurethane finish and it has a 3-piece mahogany/maple neck that together produce the familiar warm hollow-body sound with a light punch. There are 21 narrow jumbo frets (6105) and the 12-inch radius of the rosewood fretboard ensures optimal playing comfort. This bass is equipped with two Guild Bi-Sonic Bass humbucker pickups that deliver versatile tones. Each pickup has its own potentiometer for volume and tone and there's a 3-way pickup switch and a master volume control as well.
Guild Starfire Bass II: Newark St. Collection
Guild's Starfire instruments had their fair share of loyal followers back in the '60s and there are still fans around today who own an old Starfire III, IV or bass. The Newark St. Collection honours some of the classic models from the past that includes this Starfire model that was popular with well-known bassists like Jack Casady (Jefferson Airplane) and Phil Lesh (Grateful Dead). If you're looking for a special bass with vintage looks and sound combined with a modern feel, the Guild Starfire Bass II is an excellent choice.
