Guild Starfire I Bass Lefty Cherry Red

With the Guild Starfire I Bass Lefty Cherry Red Guild presents a practical Semi-Hollow electric bass for lefties with a shortscale length as part of the Newark St. Collection. Thanks to the surprisingly fast neck and the BiCoil pickup, the semi-acoustic four-string impresses with great playability and a fat vintage tone.

Semi-acoustic construction with short scale length

The semi-acoustic Starfire I Bass Lefty with its resonant body made of laminated mahogany and the short 30.75" scale provides the perfect basis for sonorous bass sounds with pleasantly prominent vintage character. The center block counteracts unwanted feedback even at high volumes. The reduced string tension together with the surprisingly convenientModern Thin U profile of the mahogany neck guarantees optimal playing characteristics.

BiCoil Pickup, Hardware

When plugged into a bass amp, the Starfire I Bass delivers a full vintage tone with the Guild BC-1 BiCoil Alnico pickup that captures the woody character of the semi-acoustic body. In addition to the Volume and Tone controls for adjusting the tone, the electric bass also features a Vintage Switch that increases the presence of the bass sound by gently cutting back the low frequencies. Indestructible hardware in the form of a Bass Tune-O-Matic bridge, an elegant harp tailpiece and precise vintage-style tuners complete the Starfire I Bass Lefty Cherry Red from Guild.
