I used to own this bass and have a lot of background info about it. I ended up selling it back to the original owner (Mike Spatafore) a few years ago. It looks like he (or whoever is selling it now) replaced the original EMGs with Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders and the 4th knob was originally for an EMG switch (that was missing when I got the bass), so I'm not sure what the 4th knob does now. (Maybe it's simply 2 vol/2 tone knobs for each PUP?). At any rate, a very cool, rare Guild.

This one is pure 80’s goodness. It has been around the block. Muck owned that, and then I think it made its way back to a guy who owned it before him.
I love Muck’s description: “complete with a tremolo in case your guitarist isn’t wanking enough.”

yep, i played this bass all through the 80s sold it southpaw of texas, then found her again ,i put Duncans in it thinking it would help the dead sound and tones it put out. finally decided to sell to make room for Spectors. super light body and ultra fast neck, someone grab this before i buy it back as a wall hanger.....
