PlungerModerno Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 [quote name='edpirie' timestamp='1434610542' post='2801097'] I asked Guild about the two pup version and it's due out July/August. [/quote] Now that could be cool. I'd probably try to get a chowny bass first, but that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edpirie Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I only asked about release date, and while I said UK it wouldn't surprise me if July/Aug is US with UK a bit later. I'd expect this to be a straight adaptation of the single pup with all else the same, but I guess colours might be varied to give more momentum to the relaunch. I'm not even sure if I'd go for the 2 pup as the single has a great core tone. Tried the 90's Starfire at The Gallery recently (2 humbuckers) and didn't much care for it, but that's a rather different animal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssentialTension Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 It's natural mahogany. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edpirie Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Is that going to be the only option? Would probably decide me on the single pup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Valdemar Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Forgive me if I've missed something but are they doing another run of the single pickup model? I really regret not getting one before when I had the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
