It feels like I am almost single-handedly trying to keep this thread uber-active, but hey... postCount++ 8)
So here I noted that, upon re-listening to"classic rock" that the bass sound was close to my oft-maligned JS II. And that led to the question - does a post-71 Starfire with the Guild humbuckers sound more like a pre-'71 Starfire with the Hagstroms or a a JS from the same era with the humbuckers? In other words is it the body or the pickup that has the greatest influence on the sound.
(Sure would be nice if someone who owned a post '71 Starfire responded but I can't recall too many posters here who have one).
