neepheid Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 (edited) Hi folks I'm selling my DeArmond Starfire bass. It's a semi-hollow, 2 pickup bass, short scale, small tuners replaced with full size Schallers. 3 way switch, vol and tone for each pickup and an overall master volume. A couple of cosmetic issues - a couple of dings near the bridge, the bridge pickup is a little worn looking (gold foil is worn away - by a previous over-enthusiastic plectrum user perhaps?). There was a crack in the neck where the fingerboard had come away from the back of the neck but I've fixed that (glue injected into the crack and clamped) and it's rock solid and smooth to the touch. I'd like £200+postage for it please. It's got roundwounds on it just now but I'll throw in a set of flats as well if you want to go full-on old school. I don't have a gig bag which fits it but I do have one which [i]nearly[/i] fits bar about 4 inches which you can have. I have used the strap along the edge of the bass to protect the sticky out bit. With that in mind, have the strap too Edited November 9, 2009 by neepheid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low End Bee Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 At a recent gig the other bands bass player played one of these (with rounds on) through my Trace and it sounded huge. Not remotely like the one dimensional thump I was expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darwin Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I had one of these a few years back. I loved the look and the the sound from it but sold it when I moved on to playing more modern material. I quickly I wished I'd never sold it.... Good luck with the sale !

spinynorman Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 It's mine now Just happened to be right time, right place, right bass. I tried to get the slippers thrown in, but no deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
