I recently bought a Fender JMJ Mustang and as lovely and impressive as it was I found with the small body and shorter scale it felt cramped and uncomfortable playing it. Because the Guild body is so large however, it sits a lot more comfortably and whereas I struggled a bit in the past with the Epiphone Jack Cassidy being a big body with 34" scale neck, this one with the shorter scale fits right for me. Seriously, for the price point of these basses I'd highly recommend trying them out if you get the chance. I'm really impressed with them and compared to a number of my other basses which in some cases cost 5 times more than the Guild, I wouldn't say there was a discernible difference in quality.

Badscrew Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Hello all! A mahogany version with Cherry Red finish I've just got this week It's a wonderful bass! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 These look fantastic. I love the little details like the Guild logo knobs. It would've been easy for them to just slap a pair of generic tophats on, especially being a relatively affordable bass, but they've got the extra mile. I don't know which colour I prefer. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrumpymike Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 These look drop-dead gorgeous and amazing value for money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badscrew Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 By the way the knobs are made of plastic that feels rather flimsy, this is probably the only thing I can say is negative about this bass. Oh and the output jack socket wasn't tightened well, had to screw the nut some (not easy with the bass being hollowbody). Other than that its construction and finish are perfect 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish this bass existed in all black though, that would look exceptionally pretty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it for 3 days and it's all I wished it would be. I was considering the previous version of the Starfire I but wasn't sure about the bridge-only pickup. I am very much a neck pickup person. This P pickup version is perfect for me (I also like Precision basses a lot) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Horse Murphy Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 (edited) Welcome to the club! I went for the walnut finish, which is more of a purple-brown. Funnily enough I was watching the Bass Lobster on YouTube today and he voted these as his number one bass release of 2021. They really are excellent.

Badscrew Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Yes, I've seen his videos too, but I've ordered mine before I discovered Guild made this new P powered version last week and pulled the trigger immediately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badscrew Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Seriously (maybe stupidly?) considering getting a second one and converting it to fretless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badscrew Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Couple of short clips recorded on my Guild strung with Fender flats 9050L First is the mix of the bass with the synths and the drums, the second is the bass only. https://www.badscrew.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/big-ies-all.wav https://www.badscrew.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/big-ies-bass.wav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badscrew Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 The day they make a black finish available, I'm buying one. My red is fantastic, but I don't like how this walnut finish looks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grenadillabama Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I found out the walnut version is maple top,sides,and back.The red is mahogany wood on top,sides,and back. Mahogany neck on the red, maple neck on the walnut finish and limited edition Pelham Blue . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badscrew Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Yeah, being all mahogany was what I liked about the red and what made me decide among other things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
