Hi,
I’m new to the forum although I’ve read many different posts in the Bass section.
I have a 1966 Starfire I bass (pickup in the bridge position) that I’ve had for about 20 years. I just picked up a 1967 Starfire I bass (pickup in the neck position) that falls into the project category. It needs quite a bit of work but I think it’s going to be a great Bass when completed.
The 1966 is sunburst which I think makes the body maple. The finish on the 1967 has been stripped but was probably originally a cherry finish - the top and back look like mahogany.
Does anyone know if these Basses are either maple or mahogany all the way through or if that is just a veneer on top?
Thanks
