steve Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 (edited) 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 Edited February 5, 2009 by steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shire Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry norton Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 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....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry norton Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 This is turning into a bit of a feeding frenzy for Pauls Darkstars. I'm not going to ask him to sell them seperately - surely someone will buy this stunning bass???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that deal doesn't go through, I can let you know, but you'd have to increase your offer a fair bit. Thanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
