1999 Dearmond by Guild Starfire Bass

A cool bass at a great price! Dearmond is well known among players looking for vintage vibe at a great price. Discontinued long ago, they have steadily increased in price over the years. This Starfire bass is one of the hardest to find models. Based on the famous Guild Starfire hollowbody bass, the Dearmond is a heckuva guitar for the bucks. The body is made of laminated maple for good tone. the maple neck features a bound rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays. Dual USA made Dearmond humbuckers deliver huge tones. An adjustable bridge and sealed tuners keep it rock solid. The finish classic transparent cherry red and is set off by chrome hardware and black plastic. A very cool bass for the bucks!

I’ve had several Dearmonds come through and I even had a few Dearmonds in my personal stash. I really love the vibe, value and tone. This example is no exception. Good playability and feel. The pickups have good tone and all electronics work fine. Great bang for the buck. This is a very nice used example. It has seen very little playtime. It shows light pick and clearcoat scratches and some light playwear. Very nice. Comes in an aftermarket hardshell case.

Guild no longer offers the Dearmond line and prices have continued to increase on the used market. Many players have been converted to the great tone, looks and bang for the buck of these great guitars. If you're looking for an affordable hollowbody bass, your options are somewhat limited. Here's a cool bass for not a lot of bucks.
