Guild Starfire I Bass Guitar - Pelham Blue

The Guild Starfire I Bass brings a fresh, modern twist to the legendary Starfire Bass platform, delivering vintage hollowbody tone with player-friendly updates for today’s musicians. Designed with a slimmer 2.4 body, short 30 ¾” scale, and a narrow 1 ½” nut width, this bass offers a compact feel that’s perfect for younger players, smaller hands, or those who want extra freedom and comfort on stage. A Tune-o-matic bass bridge ensures solid intonation and easy adjustments, while the classic harp tailpiece adds a timeless Guild touch, echoing the upright bass heritage. At the heart of its sound are Guild BC-1 BiCoil pickups with hum-resistant nickel covers and Alnico 5 magnets, offering a wide tonal range—from tight, articulate modern tones to rich, wooly vintage warmth. The push-pull vintage switch, hidden under the volume knob, rolls off low-end frequencies for added presence and sparkle—reminiscent of the classic parallel pickup configuration found on vintage hollowbody basses. Blending retro charm with modern playability, the Starfire I Bass is a stylish, versatile workhorse built for players who crave that iconic Guild sound with today’s performance standards.
