Fender introduces a new model of what is surely one of
its rarest-ever instruments, the semi-hollow Starcaster Bass. Only a handful of
prototype models appeared during the mid 1970s, unusually distinctive as the
only offset semi-hollow bass guitar in Fender history (to say nothing of its
two enormous humbucking pickups). After decades of virtually fabled status, the
Starcaster Bass now reappears in electrifying Modern Player form with superior
sound, build and beauty ideal for bassists with a flair for appealingly
unconventional Fender style.
The Fender Starcaster Bass guitar’s thin semi-hollow offset body has a bound maple top and back, with
stylish bound f-holes. A short-scale bass (30”), it has
a “C”-shaped maple neck topped
by the distinctively curvaceous Starcaster headstock, and a 9.5”-radius maple fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and black-dot
inlays. Other premium features include dual Fender Wide Range humbucking bass
pickups with three-way toggle switching, four skirted “amp”-style control knobs (volume and tone for each pickup) and a
four-saddle Fender Hi-Mass bridge. Available in gorgeous Natural, Black and
Aged Cherry Burst gloss finishes.
