Anyone out there have just one bass and it's a Guild? Tell me about it...

What do you want to know?
Dreamlander said:If I had one bass to choose it would be a 60's Cherry Starfire II bass with the hagstrom pickups. :mrgreen:
Dreamlander said:Are those darkstars really as good as the hagstrom pickups? I have never heard either of them, just wondering.

Ineresting; there's a shop in Sumner, Wa about 40 miles North of me that has a similar Guild Bass. Pretty sure it's a 60's Starfire bass but it has an obviously added or replaced 2nd pickup. Can't comment in the technical aspects but the mods were done with function in mind, visually it has a homemade look to it.
fronobulax. I wonder what a Pilot owner might add to the discussion?[/quote
I know this guy has a Pilot Bass, got a screaming deal on local Craigslist. Never played a bass in his life, has no need for a bass and is totally preoccupied learning to play a 6 string. Diddled with it for a couple weeks & it's been collecting dust & taking up space ever since.
Someone was to come up with a good story on really needing a Pilot this guy I know might be tempted to accept a pretty reasonable offer.
Red it is, has a chip on the headstock someone filed off smooth. The guy I know didn't cause the damage & didn't do the file work either.
I would have kept the chip & glued it back, I mean this guy I know would have done that.
Still thinking on routing a rabbet where that chip is & fitting a piece of maple.
Sounds like you mind's made up already!h60 said:And I heard it in a Starfire bass with Dark Stars.
