News to me.
I do wish the moderator could filter out newbie comments like that. What's next, questions like "which style Starfire is best for metal?"

*snicker*
I was actually wondering how good you had to be before a pickup became "unforgiving"? If I want to humble myself I just set things up so I am listing to my playing in headphones. Every PU I have ever tried that with has showed me things about how bad my technique is...
You guys worry about this **** too much.
First video of the new Guild Starfire II bass is out and damn they look pretty cool:

mmmmm look at that finish. love it! though it looks like natural might be the only option? would be my choice anyway, but might not be everybody's favorite

Any opinions or guesses on how close to the "late summer/early fall" release date they're likely to come. It seems rare nowadays for any product to be available when the manufacturer says they will be. What's Guild's typical time frame like on their new product releases?
I'm certainly glad to see that they're going ahead with the Starfire II. I was literally days away from installing a neck pickup in my NS Starfire, but I was hesitant to cut into what has become my favorite bass. Now I don't have to and can save the extra BiSonic I bought for use in another bass somewhere down the line.
Cordoba emailed me 2 days ago & wrote that they expected the first Shipment in about a month.
Did your question or their answer make a distinction between when the MIK instruments arrive in the USA and clear customs as opposed to when they actually arrive in the store of a dealer who has ordered one? I've seen cases where there was about a month between the two events. Thanks.
Just got a very prompt email reply from Cordoba customer service saying "Thanks for your interest in the Starfire Bass II! We're expecting to have these in stock and ready to ship out to dealers beginning of August.". I'll take that as a hopeful sign, but I guess time will tell.
