Ciao, Italia! I miss Italy. It's been way too long since I've been there. My mother lived in Pietra Santa for 5 or 6 years making a sculpture (http://www.amherst57.org/members/frostsculp.htm) So my wife and I visited almost every year. We miss it.

Anyway, welcome to Alembic land! What year Starfire are you looking for? What's your budget?

My suspicion is that the first Warwick will be midrangy sounding without much fundamental. That's my experience with their instruments using that wood combination. The second one might be a bit better. Both are long scale, which is a different sound from the classic Starfire.

Paul, I'll get to work on pictures.

This one is a looker. I owned one exactly like it and have regretted letting her go for 3 years now. Mine had a growl like no other bass.

Congrats HiWatt. I understand the green ones are collectible, so I'd be careful about doing any permanent mods to it.
