Guild’s Starfire bass, with the classic ’60s sound we know from Jefferson Airplane and the Byrds. It offers a warm, resonant tone that is unique to semi-hollowbody basses. A flamed maple body and mahogany neck with an ebony fingerboard ensure excellent resonance and playability. BS-1 BiSonic pickups deliver an iconic sound. The shorter scale length enriches the overtones and improves playability, especially for beginners and smaller hands, while the ebony bridge supports a warm, organic tone.

Withdrawal termsDescription
The classic 60s bass sound we know from bands like Jefferson Airplane and The Byrds is largely defined by Guild's Starfire electric bass. This bass gives you the fat, warm tones that are difficult, if not impossible, to achieve with a solid-body electric bass. Its thin semi-hollow body is comfortable to play and gives you the organic, resonant sound and rich overtones that only a bass with a resonant chamber can produce. The Starfire II has a flamed maple top, bottom, and sides to give it a first-class, resonant tone. A vintage-style soft U-shaped mahogany neck with an ebony fretboard provides exceptional playability and responsiveness. In addition, a pair of Guild's BS-1 BiSonic 1 pickups delivers the iconic bass sound you have heard on countless tracks.
The shorter 30.75" scale length on the Starfire bass naturally makes it easier to navigate the fretboard and is perfect for beginners and bassists with smaller hands. The overtones your bass guitar generates are distributed along the strings based on their length—shorter strings therefore mean that the overtones are packed more closely together, giving the bass more overtone richness than an electric bass with a 34" scale length. This effect is further enhanced by the Guild Starfire Bass II bridge with ebony saddles, which ensures that the strings' vibrations are transferred to the body in a way that keeps the tone organic and warm.
