tayste_2000 Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) I bought this about 2 weeks ago to improve my Dearmond starfire since this one has a big crack in the neck. So basically not to pussy foot about it's issues are. Crack in the neck between fretboard and neck, neck is stable and is perfectly playable Bridge is a bit tarnished on 2 of the saddles 2 dents in the body near the bridge Screw holes near the pickups where the darkstars were removed and the original dearmond pickups were put back in Bridge pickup is missing some of the gold foil on it, doesn't affect the sound at all it's just a cosmetic issue. Now the good stuff It has the master volume control ala Guild Starfire It plays and sounds superb It has schaller tuners Here are the old pics from when I bought it, it has incurred no extra damage and has been setup recently when I had all the work done on my other starfire Now bare in mind both me and the guy that use to own this have been quoted about £200 to fix the neck, now most starfires in good condition go for about £350-£400 and really if you have a bit of guitar building experience you can fix this for like £10 so you can grab a bargain, it's also a good starter bass for someone looking for a decent hollowbody, or just a great beater bass. Basically I'm after offers, I know how much I could part it out for and since it still sounds and plays beautifully I'm not giving it away. But I don't want much for it so hit me up with offers and trades and such. I will ship it, it won't come with a case but it will be well packed. I'd rather someone collected it so that they can see what they are getting before hand and get to really appreciate how great it still sounds and plays.

BigBeatNut Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 If you change your mind and decide to sell the parts can I have first dibs on the bridge ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted December 4, 2008 Author Share Posted December 4, 2008 I won't be parting it out if I don't get offered what I have in my mind as a fair price then I'll keep it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssentialTension Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 This used to be mine and I can confirm that despite the neck crack everything is stable and the bass does play very nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked the original owner about this and offered a low price and lost it to you. However, I wanted it for the Darkstars it had in it. BUMP though.

thisnameistaken Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 If you want to PM the price you've got in mind to me I'd be interested in hearing it. That repair looks like a pain in the arse to deal with but it's a cute bass - at the right price it might still be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssentialTension Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 And that's another happy ending I hope and another good home for a bass that, despite its issues, I was actually very attached to. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
