This new GUILD STARFIRE is affordable and GORGEOUS!

[@cedcobasse]

I have the red one, I owned more than 30 basses, sandberg, fender, status, lag, human base, ibanez, Yamaha, Godin, many cost more than 2000, this guild is one of the best

[@GlennJimenez]

I have owned many famous guitar brands and my $700 guild is my favorite

Stop feeding my GAS! 🤣

Just bought one and gigged with it recently. Got a lot of good compliments on the sound - tone was rolled off the whole night. I don't play with any effects just slight compression. It has some neck dive that I wasn't used too coming from an Elite Jazz bass so I replaced the tuners with some Hipshot ultralights and that took care of that. The string spacing is a tad wider than my Jazz but wasn't too uncomfortable and I quickly got acclimated. Love this bass and the trade off in weight with that Jazz means it will probably be my go to for the next couple of shows. Didn't replace with flats yet but the guitarist liked that punch that came trough with the rounds so we'll see.

[@musicmaestrodj]

Great comments! Where is the bass made? Thanks!

[@CharlesWillisBonsai]

Reminds me of the Jack Cassidy Epiphone basses that Jay Bentley from Bad Religion modded to use P bass pickups.

[@maximeputigny1135]

Phil is such a great bass player. 👍

[@philipprehmbass]

Thank You 😃🙏🏼✌️

[@pbasswil]

Anybody else notice, in the playing clip @ 1:12 , the drastic change in tone between the full-and-round-sounding E string and the thinner-and-brighter A string??

[@julien56457]

I feel like the E string is played palm muted and the A string isn't

[@HFVidShotz]

Now I MUST learn how to play bass guitar.

[@peekaboo4390]

Very nice and any serious bass player should have a semi in his or her arsenal. I have my sweet 74 Yamaha SA-75 with TI jazz flats that sounds and looks incredible.

[@jbf6639]

Why isn’it as good as the starfire II except for the pickups ?

[@muchopomposo.6394]

Terrific stuff, as usual! Keep up the good work. 👍🏻

[@KenshinZZ]

What strings were on this bass during the demo??

[@jonpeterson7133]

Bought one. Love it.

[@tony.guitarplayer]

EMG Precision pickup should works really well on that bass

[@fullhd6598]

Semihollows sounds great with Flats !!❤

[@HamptonGuitars]

So do all short scale basses in general.

[@PizzaBall_]

I’m stuck between this or splurging a little and getting the Schecter Corsair. I’m a P bass fan through and through, so this having a precision pickup instead of two T Birds (the Schecter) is kind of pushing me towards the Guild.

Rehm is a Beast on Bass

[@toninomereu2192]

someone knows what kind of case it's required for this instrument?

[@invisiblejesus]

Wow... I'm generally a tone cranked/bypassed sort of guy, but goddamn that sounds good with the tone rolled down.

[@jared338]

Phil has the Ham hock hands as a bass player should

[@stephentesta9106]

Nice tone

[@born2grooveu]

how much does it weigh? in pounds

[@liamtahaney713]

Ugggh i hate proprietary parts. If i could put a delano p bass pickup in that i think id buy it immediately

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

Great bass player.

[@philipprehmbass]

Thanks man 😃🙏🏼✌️

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

@@philipprehmbass Thank you. You had a connection with the bass. If you owned it I think you should raise the action just a hair. That bass will sound even better when you have to work it I imagine.

[@philipprehmbass]

@@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur Absolutely! ✌ i recognized, with (semi-)hollow basses, the strings response feels slightly different in the right hand and for what one could need some moments to get adjusted to when putting out real chop-playing... as we had quite a schedule to go through on that day, and I just grabbed the bass and we recorded the intro, and we wanted to get everything done in the 1st take if possible, I went for something steady & more straight, to get it nailed smoothly... 😎

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

@@philipprehmbass that’s a fair way to go about. I just heard low action. And i could hear the power in your hand/fingers. That bass would do great in recordings. With either flats or round wounds.

[@philipprehmbass]

@@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur Haha, cool, you felt it 😎👌🏻 i was already amazed how great the slaps sounded on it 👍🏻

[@markbass354]

very nice mister Gregor

[@jreid641]

Cool bass

[@turnfordguitars]

You didn't tell us the price!

[@Giambijuice]

This is roughly a $700 bass. His definition of affordable and mine are very different 😆

[@Belman5]

It's just not a slap bass! Looks lovely, and yeah.....flats all the way on this one.

[@michaelkeefer4293]

Beautiful bass and great tone! Makes me wish I had a use for it. BTW, ever think about doing a video on your watch collection?

[@unduloid]

I heard you can use them to make music.

[@simonbowkett124]

Lot harder to slap on a Starfire II 😳

[@Terrible_Peril]

I get by just fine overall 🤷‍♂

[@simonbowkett124]

@@Terrible_Peril Popping too …. with the front pickup jammed up to the neck? Well done. I am in awe of you. 🙄

[@Terrible_Peril]

@@simonbowkett124 yes, popping, too. there's sufficient space. you can also employ a more Larry graham anchored-by-the-bridge kinda between the pickup style.

[@brandonhayes5951]

If they only made this in a 5er

[@downhillblur708]

No one ever looked bad playing a Guild

[@chrs-klly]

Judging by the swelling and cuts his knuckles, the guy playing the bass was in a scrap the night before recording this.

[@robertmudrow8034]

in the gay bar lol

[@steverolfeca]

I loved my dad’s Guild guitar when I was a boy- the skinny neck made it easier for me to get around. Now I’m a large, imposing man with big hands, and I can’t hack skinny pencil necks like this one. It’s a pity, as this is a great-sounding, lightweight bass, at a pretty attractive price point.

[@RobVespa]

Surprisingly affordable?

[@zulu5157]

What a beautiful looking bass. Looks much more better than it sounds.

[@jkf9167]

It's got an old-school midrangey sound. It sounds like it has round wound strings on it, where flats would probably be more complimentary to the bass. I like the sound enough. That midrange sound is often great in a mix.

[@zulu5157]

​@@jkf9167 Yes, this is definetly a flatwound string bass.

[@cedcobasse]

Got one with flats, really better than round for this bass, if you like old scholl

[@ej3342]

I love your videos! Would you do me a favor and say, "I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle."?

[@ObserveNotify]

The best frequency and vibration of bass is still a hidden secret.

[@jared338]

[@edeledeledel5490]

What I really want to know is what is the sustain of any bass guitar - none of the demonstrations EVER tries this. They just fiddle about showing how clever they are. Pisses me off.
