An original Starcaster Bass is a bucket list instrument for me. I just love how they look.

Oh… I might have been away from this forum too long. 😮‍💨

It shows up right in my browser. Olympic White starcaster. Almost mint. All original. Original case…. 🫣

EDIT:
Does this work?

Meh, don't be. The selector switch has been replaced (no great surprise given the experiences on here) and one of the knobs is ever so slightly different to the others...

Hubba, Hubba! not disappointing in the least!

that looks very much like the one you once had, and much like the one i came upon.
so... what's the story on this Star baby?

i feel you, Pat... i wrestled with a pain like yours for many years.
i bought mine last year, on the promise of a good paying gig that didn't quite come through as planned.
i'm still paying it down a year later, with quite a ways to go.

i like to think it was worth it, i had a great three week gig with it as my main axe, but i'm still climbing outta this hole...
seems prices are coming down for sure, perhaps your day will come 😘
