Hooch Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) I'm selling my Guild B-302 bass. It's an awesome rock machine built in 1979 according to the serial number. Tons of mojo hence crazes, checking, mahogany body and neck which can be seen here and there through the black finish. It's not in immaculate condition obviously, but nothing unusual from a bass having been played for decades. Please note pickguard's split near the jack input. It had a refret in its life, neck's super straight and stiff. There's lots of margin in the trussrod with 45-105 Lo Rider rounds. Nice low action (2,5mm above the 12th fret on E side, 2mm on G side). Neck's super stable. A strap hole has been added on the heel, but it's not super useful, neck-diving isn't bad on this one. Medium-weight : 4,3kg / lbs 9.5. Pickups are in awesome working condition. Tons of output, punch, sustain and articulation. These pickups are the cream of the crop, the bass has super deep and massive tones. Comes with OG Guild flight-case in ok condition. £915 / 1000€ shipped to your door in european countries.

Skybone Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 Wow, beautiful, another one of those 'always fancied one', if I'd not bought a 4003 recently, would have been very tempted. GLWTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briansbrew Posted October 17, 2020 Share Posted October 17, 2020 I have the B-310 and the bridge was swapped out for a Bibicz which is far superior in terms of intonation and string height adjustment but awesome basses and if I had the cash it would be a no brainer GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldman Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I owned a Cherry Red B 301, had to get a bank loan to buy it at the time! Fab bass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul S Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I've just yesterday acquired a B-301. To say it has blown me away would be an understatement. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooch Posted October 18, 2020 Author Share Posted October 18, 2020 Thank you (all !), these are seriously underrated basses indeed. B-302 neck pickup blows away what i heard from my (old) 4003s and 4001 V63. Got to say i'm a little on the fence with parting with the Guild. They're becoming harder to find, and they got pretty unique tones. Don't sleep on it ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wright/watt Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I had a Guild B 301F arguably one of the best playing and sounding basses I ever owned👍😀 GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd_david Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I love mine and if I had the spare cash I’d have this in a heartbeat. Amazing instruments, fantastic tone and playability and as you say, very rare due to the limited production period and collectors are just starting to sniff them out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooch Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 It took ages to be delivered, but the Guild is now in its new home, safe and sound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
