All PMs answered, everything still available with the possible exception of the Hondo Longhorn.

do you know the story behind it?
De1orean (or anyone): could you comment about the (Starfire's) tone when the only pickup is at that position? I imagine it would have a deeper lower voice if it were closer to the neck...

Eduardo: Here's ~40 seconds of Starfire + drums. Maybe this will help?

If I may: I've never played a Starfire, never mind owned one, but I have a bass with a single Dark Star in the P position. Let me tell you, you could put a DS right up against the bridge on any bass you chose and still dial in all the low end you could possibly want. IMHO.

here's a vid of my 66 starfire in action. it has the original hagstrom pickup but the darkstar won't sound much different. i think it puts out plenty of bass.

Passing on the Ken SMith and the Custom Shop Fender -- thanks for the offers.

Consider this a last-chance bump for the WEIRD, UGLY stuff in the original listing. I'm really not interested in anything else.

Thanks!

RD trade

I've got an RD artist bass that I am trying to trade for something, but I am in the UK. (I actually have three, but am keeping two)

Would you even consider a transatlantic swap?
