[quote name='henry norton' post='398149' date='Feb 2 2009, 06:01 PM']I'm looking for a semi bass at the moment and the DeArmond's near the top of my list but I don't want Darkstars. (You can throw holy water over me now if you want). If you do decide to split the DSs from the bass.......[/quote] thinking about this, you could by the starfire as is, and I'll include the original pups, then you could try the dark stars and swap them out and sell them if you wanted

[quote name='steve-norris' post='398342' date='Feb 2 2009, 09:23 PM']I would ,but after my initial excitement it's suddenly occurred to me the starfire is short scale so the pole spacing is wrong for my 34" Ibby [/quote] sorry mate, the dark stars on the starfire are a DS-1/DS-2 rw/rp set

[quote name='dangerboy' post='398285' date='Feb 2 2009, 08:21 PM']I'd be happy to take a DarkStar or two off your hands.[/quote] I'll bear that in mind if it develops that way DB, I have to say I didn't expect to be breaking this up! watch this space!

[quote name='Shire' post='397259' date='Feb 1 2009, 09:05 PM']Wow that's a beautiful bass Steve but unfortunately I can only afford to buy one bass from you Good luck with the sale though [/quote] Thanks Matt, it's a belter, but it has to go

how can you still have gas when you've got that shuker?

In my continuing drive to rationalise my basses, and build up a war chest, this one is the next on the block. It has a few minor dings (nothing major) and two screw holes above the pups for a thumb rest, plays well and sounds great. Complete with hohner professional hard case - pics of that later. [attachment=19587:PIC_0547.JPG] [attachment=19588:PIC_0548.JPG] this pic shows tyhe biggest ding on the back of the neck, doesn't affect playability [attachment=19589:PIC_0549.JPG] looking for £250 ONO + shipping

here's a new pic I'll get some more pics up soon, there is a small scratch in the lacquer on the back of the body (which doesn't go through to the wood) shown below, and a previous owner added a couple of swithes which aren't wired up. Otherwise it's in excellent nick about two inches long, and could possibly be polished out (or filled in with a pen) if it was an issue

After some more thought, and amongst other things, the need to rationalise my bass collection, my starfire is definately up for sale, I'm looking for £600 collected. There's a couple of pics on the [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=34048&hl=starfire"]original sale thread[/url] for now, but I'll put up some more as needed. I'm hoping to get to the Harrogate Bass Bash, if I can make it, I'll be bringing her along. Forgot to mention that i'm not looking for trades

If you decide you're prepared to ship, I could be interested

sorry to hear that mate, good luck tracing it

that bongo is fabulous - pup configuration I'd want + stealth finish. God knows how I'd fund it tho'
