Guild 1978 B-301 Electric Bass Guitar, Red (pre-owned)

Vintage Guild with a Unique Silhouette.

There’s a grit and character to this Guild bass that modern instruments often can’t match, and this 1978 B-301 is a prime example. With over four decades of history etched into its body, it carries the authentic tone, feel and attitude of a true vintage instrument. From punchy, articulate lows to a growl that commands the mix, this bass delivers that classic Guild voice that’s instantly recognisable in both studio and stage settings.

The B-301’s design combines solid playability with no-nonsense charm. While the body shows the full story of its life; including dings, chips and marks - these are testament to decades of use rather than neglect. The fret wear is minimal, suggesting they have been re-dressed at some time in the past. The lacquer checking on the headstock face and the general wear add to its vintage aura rather than detract from it, giving it the kind of personality that collectors and players alike appreciate.

Condition wise, it’s fair and age appropriate, a fully playable bass that exudes history and tone. This 1978 Guild B-301 is perfect for players seeking a vintage instrument with character, presence with perfect rock'n'roll growl!
