Guild's Starfire I Bass, part of the Newark St. Collection, brings you iconic style at an affordable price, offering a modern twist to the traditional Starfire Bass platform. This bass is a testament to Guild's commitment to providing essential features for the contemporary Hollowbody bass player.

Boasting a sleek 2.4" body thickness, an inward-shifted neck, a short 30 ¾” scale length, and a 1 ½” nut width, the Starfire I Bass is a compact and accessible option catering to younger players and those seeking stage freedom. The Tune-o-matic bass bridge ensures stable tuning and easy adjustability, while the harp tailpiece adds a touch of Guild's classic aesthetic, paying homage to its upright ancestors.

Equipped with Guild's own BC-1 BiCoil pickups, featuring hum-resistant nickel covers and Alnico 5 magnet construction, the Starfire I Bass delivers a versatile tonal palette. From modern, cutting bass tones to wooly, round, vintage tones, the semi-hollowbody nature combined with volume and tone control allows players to dial in their desired sound.

Explore added sonic possibilities with the push-pull vintage switch, conveniently located on the Volume Knob. Pull up to reveal a feature that adds presence with rolled-down low frequencies, reminiscent of the parallel pickup configuration on vintage Hollowbody basses.

Available in Vintage Walnut with maple top, back, and sides, and in Cherry Red with mahogany top, back, and sides, both options boast a perfectly glossed polyurethane finish. Left-handed players can also enjoy the Starfire I Bass in Cherry Red. Elevate your playing experience with Guild's Starfire I Bass, where classic design meets modern affordability.
