An iconic shape at an affordable price, Guild's Starfire I Bass is a modern adaptation of the traditional Starfire Bass platform and embodies the qualities required of a modern hollowbody bass. With a slim 2.4" thick body, set-in neck, short 30" scale length and 1" wide nut width, the Starfire I Bass is a compact and accessible option for younger players or those who want more freedom on stage. Stable tuning and easy adjustability are assured by the Tune-o-matic bass bridge, and the harp tailpiece gives the bass a touch of Guild's classic aesthetic, reminiscent of its upright ancestors. Guild's proprietary BC-1 BiCoil pickups grace the bass, complete with hum-resistant nickel covers and Alnico 5 magnet construction. Combined with the woody character of the semi-hollowbody tone and the Volume and Tone controls, these pickups allow the player to dial in everything from modern, cutting bass tones to wooly, round vintage tones. Pull the volume control up to reveal the push-pull vintage switch - a feature that adds more presence with the low frequencies cut and reminiscent of the vintage hollow-body B� parallel pickup configuration eat reminded. Available with Vintage Walnut Maple top, back and sides and Cherry Red Mahogany top, back and sides. Left-hand version also available in Cherry Red. All in perfect glossy polyurethane finish.
