Guild Starfire 4
I think I said it was a 12 inch radius. It is in fact, 9.5. I originally saw this listed as having "LIL BUCKER" PUPS. Now I see they're using "LIttle." Maybe I was just on a bad website.

Yikes! Narrowfield Pups, not Nearfield! Thanks to @rainfieldmusic for catching that. 7/1/24 I plugged it in to my AC 10 (Marshall Class 5 x 4x12 too) earlier today & am now in love with position 2 & 4. It really came through.

I said the push pull doesn't really split which is of course, Wrong! It does split but even more so it combines the pickups in various combinations.

Ok, man do I need to work on this 2 camera shoot idea!!! I think I could use this for a jazzy clean thing & be quite happy. I also think I could use it for an acoustic gig at a low volume. These are tough Show & Tells as my camera has a built in compressor. It really kicks in when I crank the volume. You might notice it takes a second for it to release & for my voice to return to normal volume....

Another Gretsch bass? Really? One I picked up sometime back &,,,, forgot about it! On various forums there are discussions specifically about a 2210 Bass with TV Jones Pups. I can find a 2210 6 string guitar but no bass anywhere. I did find someone on Reverb or Ebay selling a 2210 bass but,,,, It just appeared to be like these basic Jet Basses.

Larry Carlton- Sire H7, a 335 type- I've heard these guitars fight well above their weight class. Turns out,,, IMHO, they sure do. If you're not aware of some of the stats on this guitar..... It has 6 strings!!! For some reason I thought "Cherry Sunburst" was patented by Gibson, LOL. These PUP's don't quite sound like Gibson pup's, at least not to my memory. But it has been a while.

A decent compressor/limiter with a swell knob & drive. There are probably other ones that can create the swell, too. I just haven't seen them. The ones I had worked great but couldn't get to the "Swell" point like this. I even tried multiple compressors in my multi effects but,,,, No Joy. As I mentioned, I can get it using my Daw (recording software) but it isn't easy if you want to output else...
Fiesta Red Strat- Roasted Maple- Limited Edition

This is Fiesta Red. My Canon camera seems to saturate the red tones. I could not find other "Player" models with the roasted maple. So I am guessing that is also part of the "Limited" offer. & yes, Sweetwaters version is in Seafoam Green. MF in Surf Green. So how does this compare to the Silver Sky SE? Hmm, I think it's a mixed bag. This guit actually plays maybe a pinch better. I think the Sil...

What a great little Gizmo! I was totally surprised by how much head room it had. The actual OD quality was far better than I would have guessed as well. Well worth having in your gig bag as a backup. If you want less power around the house but more control, look at their Howitzer 15 watt in pedal form. I have not tried one yet but they look cool too. These are not actual pedals but they are act...

Very nice! 🙂 Thanks
I always wanted to have a PRS, Sounds great, beautiful performance. Like friend
Thank you very much, Chango. I appreciate the visit. They're decent players for reasonably low cost.
nice deep neck?
Not really. hmm,,, Way thinner & smaller than say a P bass but, hmm a little less thicker than an EB3. That's from memory. Oh I know, a little thicker than a Hofner. Fun bass stuff at www.youtube.com/@TheBassfresh/videos
Hi sensei, will this cause my 12watt orange amp to explode?
I think probably so. It is not a pedal. It is an actual amp on its own. No different than if you had 2 Orange amps & plugged one into the other. Might well cook your speaker as well. Thanks for dropping by,Eugene. Hope it helps. I got this one coming up/ You would need a spkr cab rated at 60 watts at least. www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/IHLoudpedal--laney-foundry-series-ironheart-loudpedal-2-channel-power-amp-pedal-with-boost?mrkgadid=&mrkgcl=28&mrkgen=gpla&mrkgbflag=1&mrkgcat=amps&effects&acctid=21700000001645388&dskeywordid=&lid=58700008695999524&dsproductgroupid=&product_id=IHLoudpedal&prodctry=US&prodlang=en&channel=online&storeid=&device=c&network=x&matchtype=&adpos=largenumber&locationid=1024386&creative=&targetid=&campaignid=21161059802&awsearchcpc=&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwoJa2BhBPEiwA0l0ImEB6v6H6lOC0Lio8X9tFCbWJ4MB8kAXCeR43oQ02fx9d_lyoosXFIBoCz5wQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
Beautiful guitar and sound. Muy sentidas melodias, new friend. Greetings. Chango
Thank you, Chango G. You sure have some great melodic playing on your channel. www.youtube.com/@ChangoGuitarras/videos
What a beautiful guitar!:)
Hey, Choey! Thanks for the visit. It sure plays well.
Do you have suggestions for actual mini humbuckers that will fit in this bass and also sound great?
www.talkbass.com/threads/grestch-junior-jet-ii-pickup-upgrade.1559623/ I keep seeing references to Thunderblades & ThunderMag pups. TV Jones? No 1st hand knowledge though.
@@greatvanzini gretsch filtertron w/ very easy mod of case
I have the same bass. I love it. The bridge screws had to be cut way down because they were like razors. The strings seem to rattle all over the fret board but that may be because I push on the strings with too much force. Maybe it needs a set up. I have no idea. I do enjoy playing it though.
Hey, Knees! Sure sounds like a set up is in order. Mine needed a neck adjustment just a pinch. It had no relief or very little. Just a 1/4 turn & it was fine. Pretty good right out of the box. Thanks for the watch!
cool! I am impressed Have a good day!
Thanks Darbass. Love your bass lessons at www.youtube.com/@darbassbasscovers/videos
great upload. wonderful timing.
Thank you, Ernst. That means a lot. just Still Getting Over You song at www.youtube.com/@ernstvingerhoets/videos Good stuff.

Again thanks so much! www.youtube.com/@PeterStrachanMusic if you want to hear some good tunes, folks!
Tasty playing and tone.. Well done
Thanks a lot, Peter. Really appreciate it.
How could that guitar pass a 10 point inspection much less a 55 point?
Hey, Albert! Yeah, I let em know. They were very nice about it. Gave me a good discount on my next one. I have always had good luck with SW until this one.
Such a sweet tone with a nice lil bite to it !
Yes, that's it. a little richer tone than the Sire. Appreciate the visit, Epi.
Enjoyed the chat too
Oh, thanks again, Bowstar.
Just fantastic guitar 🎸 cool 😎 Bowstar
Thanks so much, Bowstar. I really appreciate your visit. They are cool. Great for blues, rock, jazz, whatever.
I have the same color NF3 - it plays and looks great.
They are impressive. Especially for the money. Appreciate you dropping by, Sfkimush!
Awesome playing man!:)
Thanks a lot! That means so much coming from you. Here's a great player people! czcams.com/video/R8NLzLwGhLw/video.html
Thanks for the review , great bang for the bucks , I’m thinking about buying one ☝️
Great guit for the money. www.youtube.com/@JohnGSchuur/videos You have some great music on your channel. Give us some more.
@@greatvanzini I will September 1st weekly new uploads .. I’m on holiday now so …. Keeping the guitar in its case
Just curious, now that you’ve had the se silver sky for a while. How do you like it ?
You know, it's ok. Better than some of my MIM strats sound wise & not as good as others. I am keeping it for the time being as it is just fun to play & it does offer a pinch different tone. Appreciate you dropping by.
Rob Hajacos is known amongst his peers for his so-called "Wack-Tone" on almost every country record he's played on. In other words, a "Wack-Tone" is a super-exaggerated vibrato, as he counts rock as one of his influences. He's also a classically trained musician, having learned the violin while attending junior high school.
Well, he certainly was absolutely top notch with his Band in a Box track here. They are all really something to behold. Best of the best. I appreciate you stopping by for the visit, Pryce.
😊 Many thanks for your upload Greatvanzini! I own a Schecter diamond C - 1+ , a wonderful instrument bought second hand 20 years ago. It's got same shape with a slightly darker quilted body and same great Seymour Duncan pickups. For any schecter fans the serial number begins 031. PS I love your laid back jamming, Best wishes from Scotland!
Madainn mhath! Thanks so much for visit. They really are nice guits. Check out my friends channel. He's from Glasglow. www.youtube.com/@HC_GUITAR/videos
Very well done, my friend
Thank you very much, Frank! That means a lot coming from you. You're such a great writer, arranger, etc.
Sweet Guitar, I used to own a Starfire 4 back in 97. one of the last one's made at the old guild plant in Arizona before Fender moved them. Cool guitars.👍 The Eastman I got is the T484 it is 14 inches at the bout like the gibson 339. The Guild Starfire I believe is 16 Inches at the bout. both great guitars though. I still need to make a video on it. You Rock GV! 👍
Ahh! That's right. Your Eastman is 339 ish. Wow USA GuiLd. I had their acoustics back in the late 60's, early 70's. Gibby's too. I loved the Guilds more.Do make a vid on it. Who knows,,,, I may be up for another guit.
Great looking and sounding Starfire!
Thanks, BABG. Loved your TREM vid at czcams.com/video/kpfoSdFRP9Y/video.html
Nice work GVZ... that neck PU is pretty magic in that thing!
Blug! GTSY! I really really liked the ones they used after these but yeah these are great too. Thanks so much for the visit. Diggin your takes on the NF3 at czcams.com/video/iI4KD5mCkAw/video.html
@@greatvanzini Thanks sir... after setting it up, I am grabbing it first now.
Nice looking guitar!!
It's a great throwback to the 60's for sure. I heard a lot these at the Salem Armory back in the day. Appreciate the visit.
@@greatvanzini are you still send out that reel to reel tape to be transferred?
@@chuckstenberg I sent you an email just a minute ago. Yes, I have it. The one tape looks like radio ads for maybe an old A.M. station. Lost's of old local businesses.
great vid GV - had an eye out for a Starfire for a while now ... people are right about those Eastmans too , they make a really nice 335 . Anyway, g'day and good luck!
Hi there, Arvon! GTSY. Starfire 3 is one of my faves. More so than this 4. But,,,, Love this one too! Eastman also makes a 339 ish guit I need to take a look at too. Appreciate the visit!
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC

Thanks once again, Darlene. I so appreciate you dropping by.
Hi GV, had the same guitar only in dark green, wish I never sold it.
Oh, cool. I hear ya! Wish I had kept all my old Guilds from my youth. These newer ones though are great & I'm hangin on to all of them so far.
Great to catch this!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks a bunch! It really is a goodie!

Beautiful guitar and sounds great GV! Dig the pickguard logo.
Han36!!! Good to see you! Yeah, that logo I think, is real old school like in the 60's.
The best accoustic guitar I ever played was a Guild. That semi sounds pretty sweet 😋
Ahh!!! I had Guilds & Gibson acoustics back in the late 60's/early 70's. While the Gibby's were great, I always preferred the Guilds. I really appreciate you stopping by for a visit, Rainfield!
Great guitar dear friend😊
Many thanks, Dede! Really appreciate you dropping by.
Such a beautiful PRS! Amazing playing too :) enjoyed this!:)

Thanks so much. I'm listening to your Sweet Baby James. You did great as following along with the chords. Good rich voice, too.
I have the surf green. Love it
Love the surf green. i just got the SeaFoam Green. BUT,,, they made 2 models for Sweetwater. One with the Alnico 5's & one for a pinch more with the 50's pups. I mistakenly got the Alnico 5's. Coming up soon. Thanks for the visit, Oak Lawn SS!
That's magnificent guitar playing my friend - chapeau & BIG like!
Thank you so much, Darbass. Loved your Blue Monday vid.
Looks more like Dakota red in that light , Fiesta is more on the orange side.
Yea, others have said that as well. Every one talks about how great Canon color science is. With these Canon M cameras, it seems to change red tones dramatically. Fiesta red has almost a slight faded look to it & well,,, it just doesn't show up here. It's for sure Fiesta. Thanks for dropping by.
Really love the sound! Awesome
Thanks so much for stopping by, Layila. Your dark mini movies on your channel are really something.
Bravo! You've truly outdone yourself.

Sounds good man, never seen you play a PRS before 🎼🎤🎸🎼
Hi, Robert! GTSY. Yeah, I have a whole playlist of SE's. I have sold a few of them recently but,,,, maybe 6 or 7. They're good little players for the money.
