Description
Description
This second hand semi-acoustic bass is in great condition.
The Guild Newark St. Collection Starfire I Bass is a stunning, vintage-inspired semi-hollow bass that delivers warm, punchy tones with classic aesthetics and solid playability. It pays homage to Guild’s legendary Starfire basses from the 1960s while incorporating modern refinements for today’s players. With its short-scale design, semi-hollow construction, and Guild BS-1 BiSonic pickup, it offers a unique tonal character that stands out in a crowded field of basses.
Build Quality & Design
The Starfire I Bass features:
Semi-Hollow Body – Made from arched maple top, back, and sides, this construction gives it a rich, resonant sound with plenty of natural sustain.
Set Neck – A mahogany neck with a vintage U-profile provides a comfortable, slightly chunky feel that suits both fingerstyle and pick players.
Short Scale (30.75”) – The shorter scale length makes it easier to play, especially for those with smaller hands, while also contributing to its signature thumpy low-end.
Classic Starfire Aesthetics – Available in gorgeous finishes like Cherry Red, Pelham Blue, and Emerald Green, it exudes vintage appeal.
The craftsmanship is top-notch, with a flawless finish, smooth fretwork, and solid hardware.
Sound & Pickups
The Guild BS-1 BiSonic pickup is the heart of this bass, delivering:
Warm, fat lows – Perfect for Motown, blues, and rock.
Punchy mids – Cuts through the mix well without being overly aggressive.
Smooth, airy highs – Retains clarity without harshness.
This bass has a deep, woody character that works well for retro sounds, indie rock, blues, and even jazz. The single pickup design is simple but effective, and the push-pull volume knob allows for a midrange boost, adding even more tonal flexibility.
Playability
Comfortable & Lightweight – The semi-hollow design makes it much lighter than solid-body basses, reducing fatigue during long playing sessions.
Short Scale Advantage – The 30.75” scale reduces string tension, making it easier to fret notes and execute bends.
Smooth Neck Feel – The vintage U-profile neck is substantial but comfortable, great for those who like a classic feel.
The floating bridge and Guild harp-style tailpiece add to the vintage vibe, though some players might prefer a more stable fixed bridge option.
The Guild Starfire I Bass is a beautifully crafted, vintage-style semi-hollow bass that offers rich, thumpy tones and a comfortable short-scale feel. It’s ideal for players who love warm, retro sounds and want something lighter and more resonant than a traditional solid-body bass.
