The Starfire Bass II is a dual-pickup semi-hollow bass guitar that adds sonic options to one of Guild’s most iconic models, the Starfire Bass. The Starfire Bass II originally debuted in 1967, shortly after the single-pickup version, and quickly garnered a following that included Jack Casady (Jefferson Airplane) and Phil Lesh (Grateful Dead). The addition of the BiSonic BS-1 neck pickup on the Starfire Bass II gives bassists a warmer, smooth sound for added tonal flexibility. This double cutaway bass guitar features an arched laminate mahogany top and back, and mahogany sides, dual Guild BS-1 pickups (6.49k in neck and 6.49k bridge), individual volume, tone, and master volume knobs, and a pickup selector switch. The neck profile is a vintage "U" shape, measuring 0.85" at the 1st fret and 0.93 at the 12th. It has a 14" radius and nut width of 1.48". A clear, high gloss finish highlights this bass guitar’s natural cherry beauty. Altogether this thing's got killer vibe and tone weighing in at 8.3lbs. This big bottom beast is in excellent shape, and will ship next swiftly and safely the original hardshell case. If you have any questions about this or any bass in the shop give us a call!
