Did Guild make this bass in the 70's?

I can only see it in silhouette onstage but looks like a guild Starfire bass headstock but with a Pbass shaped body. Any ideas? Maybe from another maker but definitely looks like a Starfire headstock.
That’s the best shot I can get.

welp...found the answer. Can't delete the thread since it turned out to not be a guild. Can only edit and report for some reason. Not showing the delete option.
Anyway, it is an Ibanez Musician Bass prototype that Del Palmer played. That headstock almost looks lawsuit worthy.

Well it could have been an SB-202.

That would have been my guess too but the Ibanez Musician bass makes sense. Very similar headstock indeed, but also very nice basses... if you like long scales

The ability to edit and delete posts is on a timer to reduce vandalism. Regardless of the timer you cannot delete your post if it is the first post in a thread and it has had replies. On a practical basis deleting a post does not save or free resources on LTG's hosting service so the reasons to delete a post seem to be Moderation or a poster who wishes they had not posted for whatever reason.

I don't but it took me a while to find solace in 30" (and 32") necks - my first serious bass was indeed an Ibanez Musician MC924, circa 1982

I was 17 and the MC was a generous gift from my dear aunt Nina. It was probably the snazziest bass in the hood then.. even my older friend who used to own a 3 bolt Jazz Bass reluctantly admitted the Japanese were stepping up their game after trying it.

It's long been gone but my MIJ medium scale Squier P bass doesn't make me long for the MC. Yet I would buy an 8 string ST from the same era (in spite of the fact that most weigh like an anvil) if one ever popped up at a decent price.
