For those of us who double on bass...
Brand new from Guild - so new there aren't even any specs listed (I had to backdoor this one through another link):
  https://guildguitars.com/g/starfire-i-bass-cherry-red/ Classic Guild cosmetic cues, but with some modern updates: mahogany double-cut body, single split 1966-style "Mickey Mouse" pickup/single volume-tone, harp tailpiece with anchored Gretsch-style TOM bridge, large cloverleaf tuners, estimated street price $600+/- ; with a set of medium or medium-heavy flats it should fit in well with acoustic instruments - deep but clear, and those flatwounds will keep it out of the way of your guitarist's lower register while allowing you to solo in cello range - and if you ever dreamed of owning Phil Lesh's "Big Brown" or Jack Casady's original Guild/Alembic, here's an inexpensive mod platform if you have the time/patience...

Pretty cool! I have a similar bass made by Gretsch. As you said, it really fits in well with acoustic instruments using flats.
