Acorn House is on LTG and posted the pic on LTG. See my response here.

Short answer - Roger Daltry and John Entwistle circa 1967. The bass is most likely a '66 and Acorn House thought Daltry's hair suggested 1967. Entwistle had a stereo 1974 Starfire II. A subsequent owner suggested that it was purchased, in part because it was like an instrument he had played early in his career. Link to that is in my other post.

Entwistle's basses are pretty well documented here. There are several candidates for a hollow/semi-hollow bass used early in his career but my quick skim showed no Guilds. Since there is a 70's Starfire II with provenance to him and I recall a Starfire in his estate auction he owned at least one Guild, but if he owned that pictured Starfire I or used it live I can't find evidence.
