New Dark Star?
Nice... really nice. Sounds good?

Nope it's an original Hagstrom...got it a few years ago and finally got around to putting it in. I figure that even though it left the factory with one of each, now it's as nature intended.

Yep, from 1970.
Low output? Think something was wrong with it? In my experience they're really loud and beefy

fronobulax said:I guess hollow because it looks like it has binding, which the solid doesn't...
fronobulax said:Called. The bass in question is hollow based upon the date. However after consulting Hans' book, one difference between the hollow and the solid is that the solid has binding only on the top whereas the hollow has top and bottom binding. I was correct in that binding can be used to distinguish between the two versions but wrong in making the claim for this particular bass because the photos don't show enough of the side to determine whether there is bottom binding or not.
I was going to question you about "Hagstrom humbuckers". You could mean a pair of these but on p. 160 Hans says that the new solid body M-85 featured the "new" humbucking pickups (which are the Guild humbuckers we all love to hate, according to the picture). However, Guild being Guild....
Thanks for getting me to clarify.
