Guild DeArmond Jetstar Bass Metallic Purple (1990s)
Description
Description
This second hand bass is in very good condition
Made in Korea 1990s reissue model. one light scratch in the lacquer on the back.
-
The JetStar began life in the 1960s under Guild as a solid body bass with a very distinctive, almost “melting” or Dali-esque, offset body.
-
In more recent decades, DeArmond (a brand / line related to Guild) produced reissues in Korea in the ’90s. These reissues preserve much of the styling of the originals, with some changes.
Body / Shape / Scale / Materials
-
The JetStar bass has a very unusual body shape: offset double cutaways, somewhat stylised, with a lot of character visually.
-
Scale length on the older originals was short: ~30½ inches.
-
Many of the reissues keep that short-scale design.
Hardware & Electronics
-
Pickups: often two single coils (or variants thereof) in reissue models.
-
Controls: generally simple but functional.
-
Nut / string spacing tends to be a bit narrow compared with e.g. classic Fender P-bass / Jazz spacing.
Tone & Sound
-
The pickups deliver a decent range. The bridge pickup gives a sharper bite, good attack, some single coil character; neck pickup is more mellow, darker, smoother. Combine both and you can get a blend with decent clarity and interest.
-
Some owners remark that the tone reminds them of a short-scale Jazz bass or even a “51P” vibe in certain settings, though obviously the JetStar has its own flavour.
-
In clean settings the bass can sparkle; with overdrive or in a band mix it cuts through well. Because of its build, there’s warmth, but it does not get super thick like a large humbucker bass might. It’s more about clarity and character.
The JetStar Bass is very much a “character instrument.” It’s not going to replace, say, a classic Fender P-Bass or vintage Gibson Thunderbird in every situation, but it’s a lot of fun, and does some things very well. If you value style, comfort (especially on shorter scales), and a bass with personality more than you value maximum low-end weight, this could be right up your alley. For many players it becomes a second (or even primary) bass precisely because its colour and vibe are so different
