Last winter, I bought a DeArmond Pilot bass that needed work - got it very cheap. Put it in a corner and forgot about it while doing other things, till late April. Found it needed a new battery connector - it's an active bass - and did that in a few minutes, and found it to be a pretty good bass...but I wondered what the REAL Guild Pilot bass was like, if the imitation was so good. I found one for sale online, and bought it, and immediately loved it...
Turned out this basic black bass was made in Rhode Island in 1987. Passive EMG pickups, J type bridge pup and reversed P type neck pup, beautiful, fast neck, and incredible tones. O liked IT so much, I found another-Fretless, in Royal Blue-and bought it and it just got her Friday...
