Guild Starfire 1 Chris Hillman Signature Bass new pics £860 - *SOLD* £935 Clitheroe

[Duroc17]

Firm price final drop

 

I love this bass but why am i selling it - it's because i have sausage fingers and this has a narrow 16mm string spacing - still very playable but just prefer wider 

 

Apart from that it sounds superb and as a glassy neck that's the fastest i've ever had, effortless McCartney/Byrds tones - warm woody thump.

 

I took this and an MIA Pro P Bass to a studio session and used this on 7 out of 8 tunes - can here it here (Back out on the Run is the only P Bass track) https://greenhorses.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-milkshed

 

Blurb: Number 40 of only 75 made (or might be 70) comes with Chris Hillman signed certificate of ownership. Signed on the trust rod cover. Byrds logo inlay at 12 fret.. Awesome Bisonic pup, 8.5lbs but feels way lighter compared to my J bass which is 9.5lbs, for a short scale 30 3/4 inch with big body it feels more like a full scale bass at 46" in total length. Bone nut. cream binding, arched laminated maple in beautiful sunburst. Strung with D'addario flats and set up by my guitar tech pal so has a super low action with no fret buzz or dead spots.

 

Can be seen here 

 

 

 

It does not have the case but i have a padded gig bag that fits perfectly and sturdy box for UK shipping at £25 - or meet up in North West/ West Yorks - i'd be happier if you came and played it if you can.

Sale only please no trades

Outstanding basses….. crazy comfortable to play. I miss my Starfire very much. The Korean factory’s know what they’re doing.
