Guild Starfire bass 1966 Red patina | Reverb

This 1966 Guild Starfire bass is in good condition for it’s age. It plays very well and all of the electronics work properly. A long time ago, the frets were removed to make it a fretless bass. This was Tom Lloyd’s bass, of The Del Fuegos. It was signed by the whole band. You can see this bass be...

Interesting way to hold the 9V battery:


Or when you forgot to bring your strap to the gig:



Or fix that broken guitar neck:


Or whatever he fixed here...

On a record cover somewhere there is a picture of Jim Hall playing a Gibson archtop with an HB1 pup in neck position. The pickup appears to be mounted with duct or electrical tape. I will have to go look and see if I can find the album.

Meanwhile ... how to keep the drummer from talking to the media (sincere apologies to real drummers--not talking about you, K?--but you do know who we are talking about, eh?):

Don't know the album picture but there was a Youtube video showing the tape holding the pickup used, which I can't find. Otherwise his ES-175 is shown here in detail (without tape). It has a little Guild humbucker from the 60's, what Guild would call today a LB-1, here in the rare (or less seen) version with the Allen screws as pole pieces. Hans had previously reported such Allen screws for HB-1.

Jim Hall's Gibson ES-175 up close!

Another guitar Jim Hall used was his 1983 D'Aquisto using indeed a golden HB-1. But I see no tape there and who would tape such a valuable instrument as a D'Aquisto.

Still no album cover but I found the 1973 video with the taped-in Guild mini-humbucker! It's the same ES-175 as shown in post #7 above but obviouly before he fabricated a wooden pickup ring. And he had the pickup mounted 180 deg with the pole pieces away from the neck, you also see the open screw hole from the former P-90 on that guitar.
