Warmer, smooth sound and a short scale for instant access.
The Starfire Bass II Flamed Maple (FM) is a dual-pickup, short-scale semi-hollow electric bass guitar that adds additional sonic options to Guild’s iconic Starfire Bass. The Starfire Bass II originally debuted in 1967, shortly after the single-pickup version, and quickly garnered a following that included Jack Casady (Jefferson Airplane) and Phil Lesh (Grateful Dead). The addition of the BiSonic BS-1 neck pickup on the Starfire Bass II gives bassists a warmer, smooth sound for added tonal flexibility.
As its name suggests, the Flamed Maple version replaced the original mahogany body with flamed maple. It includes dual Guild BS-1 pickups, individual volume, tone and master volume knobs, and a pickup selector switch. A clear, high-gloss finish highlights this bass guitar’s natural beauty.
