I'm selling my Guild Newark St. Collection M-85 Short-scale Hollowbody Bass. If you haven't heard of this model, it's the "go-to" bass for Sheryl Crow and the guy from The Knack (it's the same bass on "My Sharona"). These are getting harder and harder to find (no longer in production) and if you can find them online, you will have to pay shipping and tax and it will cost a few $100 more than mine. The Guild BS-1 BiSonic pickup was originally found in many of the solid and hollow body Guild basses in the '60s and '70s and is one of the best/most unique-sounding pickups around. The only reason I am selling this is because I have the same pickup in a Serek. These are SO much cooler and lighter than the Starfire basses so come by and try it out!

The only 2 on Reverb are $1681 and $1842 (and that doesn't include tax and shipping!

The M-85 Bass boasts an authentic mid-’60s style with a compact semi-hollow body and big Guild BiSonic bass pickup that creates the sonic boom of an instrument twice its size. The single-cutaway body measures 2 3/4″ deep and a mere 13 1/2″ across the lower bout, with an arched spruce top and maple back and sides. The body also features elegant ivory-white body binding, black/white purfling, partial center-block bracing, and dual finger rests. This distinctive bass also features a 30 3/4″ scale length, bound three-piece mahogany neck with a vintage-style “soft U” profile, 21-fret rosewood fingerboard with 12″ radius, and pearloid dot inlays, volume and tone controls, combo bridge/tailpiece with rosewood saddles, Grover tuning machines, nickel hardware and cool Jet Black gloss finish. Includes plush-lined hard-shell case.
