For Sale: Guild Starfire 1 Hollowbody Bass plus Gigbag - *SOLD* £450

[Old Horse Murphy]

For sale is a spotless condition Guild Starfire 1 Bass that was bought late last year. It comes a complete with a really decent padded gigbag that cost £74 and is strung with a brand new set of TI Flats. It's a fabulous bass that simply won't get gigged because of my other basses. 
 

It's in the vintage walnut finish, so has a maple body. It's 30.5" scale and is set up with a lovely low action. 
 

It weighs 6lb 15oz and with a decent leather strap there's no neck dive at all. 
 

These cost £499 new without the gigbag. I'm looking for £450 inc. postage, although I'd much rather this was handed over in person within an hour of Monmouth.

That’s lovely Nick!
3.5” too short (said the bishop to the ….🤡) otherwise I’d be in trouble.

Thanks John. I struggle with short scales too, although because the body is bigger it actually makes the neck feel as if it's in the right position (if that makes sense!)

This is a surprise! Didn’t think you’d be selling this so quickly, you waxed so lyrical about it.
