Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Built for left-handed players, the Starfire I Bass combines a semi-hollow, double-cut body with a compact 30-3/4-inch scale, 2.4-inch body depth, and 1-1/2-inch nut. Guild BC-1 BiCoil pickups work with volume and tone controls to move between modern cutting sounds and rounder vintage-leaning bass voices. Pulling up the volume knob engages the vintage switch, adding presence while rolling back low frequencies. A tune-o-matic bass bridge is fitted for stable tuning and adjustment.
