Thank you very much Hans.
I also just came to the same revelation about one of mine, which appears to be an early 1971 Jetstar bass (not 1970 as it appeared by serial number) for the same exact reason (neck tone pot week 06, 1971, but volume pots are 1970), and I will post about that in the appropriate thread shortly
Wasn't it "THE superstructure"? Means after neck and body were joined? But otherwise you are correct I think.Recall that Guild serial numbers were assigned to the neck when the neck was completed.
I am since few days the lucky owner of a beautiful Starfire bass serial BA 149x. She is single neck pickup with suck switch. I understand that is highly recommended to remove the suck switch. I have enough soldering skills, but I have some concerns regarding extracting pots and wires through the f holes and restoring after removal. Is it a difficult process and do I need any special tool?
Thanks for your advice

the one i posted with the straight bridge has the higher serial #.
iirc, mgod has posted that he also has a suck switch SF bass with the straight bridge. I dont know if it's a I or a II, and I don't know the serial #.

I have no problems in telling mine: 8. It means that yours is 9.
that's pretty crazy that they have sequential serial numbers, but different bridges...and also that yours wound up in Italy.
