Hello sir,
So, this morning I snagged a '68 Starfire II.
I've always loved the tone of it on Debra and when I saw the deal come up I had to swing for it.
Not sure what I'll use it for, but I'm hoping it's a keeper.
I was wondering if you could cite more examples of you live or in the studio using a Starfire?
Hope you're enjoying the end of the year!
(for TB's sake...)

| | | | Anything that's not a P-Bass on Sea Change is a Starfire. Lots more, don't know where to start...will try to think of some and let you know.

Proof: | That's a beautiful bass!! Congrats!!
Other notable Starfire players that I can think of is Hutch from Bonnie Raitt's band, and recently Sheryl Crow, actually. I couldn't tell you what songs specifically to listen to though. Put flats on your guy, plug into something tubey, and play with a pick. You'll learn immediately what to use it for. Tis a glorious sound.

I got a reissue Starfire and put NOS pickups in it, and it is my new buddy (even if it isn't quite as cool and your and J's.) I think you're going to fall in love with yours.

|  | Just days from retirement. | | Join Date: Jun 2011 Location: Lincoln, NE | | | Nice grab. I think the Guild Starfire is one of the best basses ever made, really want to get another one, if I find one I can afford.
Used GHS 3060 tapes on mine, and those Hagstrom pickups like tapes or flats.

Right now I'm playing my go to P (1971) and a Gibson Les Paul Sig (1974) which are both great. Would love to add this to the collection of keepers!
