The picture of the back does not show its flamed maple very well. It would be best to ask seller for a set of pictures, if these don't show as much detail as you would like to see. It is obviously in very nice condition. I am not connected to the seller in any way. Just sharing the images I got from him, reduced to 25% of original size.

Here are some pics of my old Maple Guild/Alembic Starfire with Pluto Electronics . I sold that Bass due to economic reasons around 1979.

$1500 for a '90s Starfire II reissue isn't anything to write home about, IMO. I don't remember what these are going for now, but that number doesn't stick out at me.
Also, IME, the reissues are completely different animals than the originals in terms of sound and feel.

I gotta go +1 with kungfusheriff. These reissues are okay but the price looks to be the going rate. It is in nice shape though.
Find an original one with Hagstrom Bi-Sonics - that would really be an amazing deal indeed.
