Your opinion

Sign in to disble this ad
Hello Justin, I would like to know your opinion about these questions:
a) What does come closer more the Guild Starfire, the Hofner Club or the Eastwood Classic? b) With the Jaguar can you obtain the vibe of a Mustang or Gibson SG?
I believe that Jesse Murphy, Chris Wood, Avishai Cohen and you are the most interesting bassists of this decade.

Hi Keyzer,

a) I've never heard the Eastwood Classic. I own a German Hofner Club, and it's amazing. But it's not really in the same sonic space as a Starfire. The Starfire is more "lively", the Hofner is deeper and darker. But you can't go wrong with a Club, man! It's great.

b) The Jaguar does not do the vibe of either of those basses. It's more like a slightly different (and to me, more useful) voicing of a Jazz.

Thank you for such incredibly high praise. Putting me in the company of those geniuses is a bit too much, but I thank you nonetheless! I shall strive to live up to such exalted status!

Best,
JMJ

Justin, It seems that in the cold war they were not losing the time

Fun stuff! Not feeling super confident about buying via eBay from the Ukraine, though.
