[Limited Quantity Special Price]
A semi-acoustic base produced by a long-established American brand that also achieves cost performance.

``STARFIRE BASS'' was released in 1967 and was loved by many artists such as Jack Casady (Jefferson Airplane) and Phil Lesh (Grateful Dead). It is a semi-acoustic bass model that represents Guild and is highly popular among core vintage bass fans, and is hailed as a masterpiece. This model maintains the atmosphere of the traditional Starfire Bass, but takes a modern approach by improving specifications and functions, improving playability, and adding variations to the sound.

This model is made with a mahogany center block, mahogany set neck and rose fingerboard. This Pelham Blue finish model is made with an arch top and back maple body. In addition, the body thickness is 2.4 inches (approximately 61 mm), which is slimmer than the conventional Starfire base. By adopting a 1.5 inch (approximately 38 mm) nut width specification that is comparable to the general JB bass, a 30.75 inch short scale specification, and a 17th fret joint set that has been shifted closer to the body side than the previous model. It offers compact and easy-to-access playability. The Tune-o-matic bass bridge provides tuning stability and ease of adjustment, and the harp tailpiece has a thick and sturdy design that creates a classic feel. . It has a look that combines convenience without sacrificing the classic charm unique to Guild.

The pickup is equipped with Guild's original 'BC-1 BiCoil' hum canceling pickup. The nickel cover design prevents hum noise, and the Alnico 5 magnet specification firmly pushes out the mid-low range to reproduce woody semi-hollow tones with rich texture. In addition, the volume knob is equipped with a push/pull switch pot, and when pulled, the Vintage switch operates. By making full use of this feature, you can create a tone that asserts its presence with rolled-down low frequencies, reminiscent of the parallel pickup configuration of vintage hollow body basses. With this maple body, you can enjoy a surprisingly wide range of tones, from fat and firm deep tones to crisp and clear tones. The reproduction of touch nuances and the sound image with the airy feeling that is unique to the hollow structure are felt smoothly, and the user-friendliness of this unit, which also responds well to howling, is another attractive feature of this unit.

It's a fun bass to play, with solid usable functionality and playability, but with a bit of a Vizarre feel.
