PT 1: Anxiously awaiting the arrival of big brown truck.
Mello is about to be back on the Guild bass wagon with a real stunner... an exceptionally clean, all-original 1967 Starfire Bass I, that has spent most of its life safe and sound asleep in its cozy original case.
The story goes back almost exactly 7 years to early February 2010, when a dear (fellow-Casady/Guild-fan, Starfire-slinging) friend of mine, who lives on the other side of the country, graciously offered me dibs on his #2/backup vintage SFB. Several times since then I have come painfully close to having the funds together when each time something would happen that would require me to cut into the SFB fund and delay the deal. I'm ecstatic now to announce that the deal has finally gone through and the bass is on its way to me as we speak, complete with a set of pyramid gold strings! I do have a couple of pictures of it already, but I figured, in the interest building up anticipatory tension, I will hold off on posting photos until it arrives, at which point I will document the careful un-boxing of this lovely lovely beast.
STAY TUNED!!
