Four-string semi-acoustic electric bass with one pickup, including case
The Guild Starfire Bass Black is a traditionally built semi-acoustic electric bass with a sonorous sound that provides the right bass foundation for every classical blues and rock band. Accordingly, the electric bass has a solid center block body with laminated mahogany back, top and sides. The glued neck is made in three parts of mahaogni and maple and lies comfortably in the hand with the "Vintage Soft U"-profile. On the amplifier, the Guild BS-1 BiSonic pickup in the bridge position provides a fat bass tone with cultivated sound development that can be adjusted via the volume and tone controls. The Guild Starfire Bass Black is completed by a bridge with rosewood strings and reliable Open Gear tuners.

This is as close to a dream come true for bassy yet versatile bass as one can imagine. The sound of it is just to die for and it is very comfy to play. Rounds could have been directly flats but that’s a problem easily solved. Set up was a bit too low from the case but I found it easy to adjust the bits needed. Superb instrument that’ll be a keeper for sure.
