Thanks!
Edwin , here's a shot of my Starfire...
don't shoot me for the alterations. I bought it used when I was 14 or so and had access to power tools...
The shadow of the P pickup was an experiment that lasted a couple hours. I had a fretless P bass that I bought new in 1970 and while I hated the Fender neck compared to the Guild, I did like that P sound.
Well That P didn't sound the same on the Guild..... The Bridge pick up was a result of walking into Medley Music and ordering a Guild bass pick up... like I said I was a kid then.(you really have to work it to get a balance, those pickups are totally mismatched) Badass was brand new to the bridge biz then and since the saddles had mostly split by then I got one of them too. The bass was originally red and had ebony rails on both sides of the strings.
Truly wish I had never messed with it but if I hadn't it might have been sold at some point.
As it is I destroyed its vintage value but that's what kept it in my collection.
I will say that that newer verion of the Guild Bass pickup at the bridge does have a great sound!
