nick Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) [i][color=#0000ff]*SOLD - [/color][/i] [b]Dearmond ('by Guild') Starfire[/b] MIK 1997 from the renowned Peerless factory My bass cull continues, I'm reducing my collection down to a P-Bass ... Finished in a lovely transparent crimson red with a nice grain pattern showing through. In excellent condition, no dings or scratches etc. The medium scale (32") neck is good & straight, vintage style frets have virtually no wear. There is a slight repair by Overwater Guitars done between binding & fretboard at first fret - I've tried to show this in the photo. However, it's a good solid repair, hardly noticeable, cannot be felt & doesn't affect the playabilty of this fast neck. Electrics work fine. The stock USA made 'Gold Tone' pickups sound really sweet. The bass itself has quite a wide tonal range, surprising for a hollowbody - from a sixties thump to almost Jaco-esque burp from the bridge pickup. There's a centre block in the body which helps eliminate feedback at high volumes, also great for when using fuzz pedals! I've had the crap (IMO) stock tuners upgraded to decent Wilkinson ones. These hold their tuning well & are very smooth. They also fitted in the existing screw holes in the headstock. I will include the original tuners, should/if the new owner want them. A new hard case is included with sale. Hard cases for Starfires are virtually impossible to come by. However the Epiphone Jack Casady case fits the Starfire nicely (these are £99 from GAK) The bass is currently strung with a new set of Status flatwounds, but I will also include a nicely played in set of 32" scale D'addario Chromes, which are bit different sounding.
