backrowslea Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 (edited) Hi, Up for sad sale is my Vox standard bass, I have had it for about 17 years now, not ben played since my amp went about 5 years ago. Reason for sale is lack of use and with two small kids I am unlikely to get time to play in the next 5 years!! It does have the common fault of the e string popping out of the nut - I used a cappo to hold it in with no problems! Also I decided to go for a distressed look, this came from my days as a 15 year old thinking it would look cool to strip the paint off - I got bored and it has been 1/2 stripped ever since, I grew to love it and never got around to stripping it completely! Review of this Bass here : [url="http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Electric+Bass/product/VOX/Standard+Bass/10/1"]http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews...ndard+Bass/10/1[/url] Trials welcome (although I have no leads/amp), I'm just outside of lincoln - LN43YG - I will post at buyers expense - Not worked out a price for this yet, it is a heavy bass! £75 or make me an offer Cheers for looking Mat Edited January 3, 2011 by backrowslea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gust0o Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 It looks like it's got a lot of character, chief. I think this wil get snapped up for a bit of a restoration project, as overall it looks solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backrowslea Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 I can vouch for it being solid! It is a hefty beast!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurcatovium Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Bargain! The pickup alone is worth nearly the asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBassAlpha Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I did the same with mine and defretted it on the suspicion it would make a nice fretless. It sure as hell did! Solid stuff for no money - what's not to like! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Nice, cheap, easily restorable bit of vintage good-quality 80s JapCrap. If you'd post it, you'd sell it. Jon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
