Newbie , guild bass question .
I like short scale basses and just realised the starfire is one option.
Saw an add for a second hand Starfire 2 , ? 2015 which is a single pickup.
Looking at the current range , that model doesn’t seem to be around . There’s either the single pick up SF 1 - or the double pickup SF 2 .
Doesn’t seem to be a new SF 2 near where I live , so in terms of sound , I don’t have anything so I can make a comparison to the second hand one .
For me the most important think in a guitar is the feel of it . The classic short scale is the hofner , but never like the feel of it to play . So I’ll go and have a play the SF and see what I think .
The second ( single pick up ) hand one is 1800 ( aud ) vs around 2800 for the new double pick up one . Happy to pay for a new one if it’s going to offer me something significantly more in terms of sounds
So two questions .
1 Is the new twin pick up version going to give me a usably wider sonic palette or is it just adding something that few people rarely use .
2 Is the feel of the new one going to be very similar to the second hand one ( 2015 ) ?
Cheers
