I miss Italy. It's been way too long since I've been there. My mother lived in Pietra Santa for 5 or 6 years making a sculpture (http://www.amherst57.org/members/frostsculp.htm) So my wife and I visited almost every year. We miss it. Anyway, welcome to Alembic land! What year Starfire are you looking for? What's your budget? hiwatt75 New Username: hiwatt75 Post Number: 3 Registered: 10-2012 Posted on Tuesday, November 06, 2012 - 4:04 am:    Ciao Edwin, you must take a plain and come here asap...We need a new sculpture!!!

That's my experience with their instruments using that wood combination. The second one might be a bit better. Both are long scale, which is a different sound from the classic Starfire. Paul, I'll get to work on pictures. jzstephan Intermediate Member Username: jzstephan Post Number: 141 Registered: 1-2012 Posted on Monday, November 12, 2012 - 3:05 pm:    http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=WbOfpUiMZlo&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DWbOfpUiMZlo%26feature%3Dyoutu.be 12stringwilson Member Username: 12stringwilson Post Number: 100 Registered: 12-2008 Posted on Tuesday, November 13, 2012 - 8:08 am:    This one is a looker. I owned one exactly like it and have regretted letting her go for 3 years now. Mine had a growl like no other bass. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1966-Guild-Starfire-Bass-Rare-Excellent-Condition-/261126276056?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D3434100152123977357%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D261126276056%26 sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 2710 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Tuesday, November 13, 2012 - 5:38 pm:    Thumbs Up 12stringwillson!

I understand the green ones are collectible, so I'd be careful about doing any permanent mods to it. edwin Senior Member Username: edwin Post Number: 1377 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, December 12, 2012 - 5:43 pm:    Congrats!
