tony_m Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Vox 3002 Custom bass Following info taken from here... [url="http://www.voxshowroom.com/catalogs/1982_p4.html"]http://www.voxshowro...gs/1982_p4.html[/url] Japanese (Aria / Matsumoku) made Honey polyester finish 34 inch scale length, 24 fret 2 octave neck Extra wide through body neck design Full specification DiMarzio P Bass and J Bass pickups Guitar constructed entirely from hard rock maple Mode switch selecting series/parallel or coil tap on both pickups simultaneously Three way pickup selector, tone and volume controls Deluxe bass bridge and tail piece assembly Nut width: 38mm I bought this bass s/h in the mid 90s as I fancied a PJ-style bass, but after the initial excitement had worn off it's just lurked in its case under the bed while I followed a more traditional P and J path! It's in reasonable condition, although the headstock is rather battered around the edges. There's what appears to be a crack in the neck near the nut, but it doesn't seem to have got any worse over the 20 or so years I've owned it so I suspect it may just be in the lacquer. One of the selector switches was broken off when I bought it, and the other had lost its plastic tip - I never got round to sorting either problem. Strung with what I suspect are Fender nickel rounds as these were my preferred string at the time I bought it. Weight 10.75 lbs. Hiscox Liteflite hard-case included. More info and pics of similar basses can be found here...

I'd prefer the buyer to collect, though I should also be able to meet up / deliver within a reasonable distance of Blackpool.

sbrag Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 What a bargain. Worth it for the case alone. Wish i was closer. Glwts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony_m Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Cheers! But I possibly ought to point out that neither of my Precisions or Jazzes would fit in the Hiscox case as it's a bit too shallow / well-padded for them, so it may not actually work for anything other than the Vox.

alyctes Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) That is [i]ridiculously[/i] cheap... it's worth more than that for the pups! And the hard case. I'm surprised at the nut width. Mine's a treetrunk - one of the reasons it's under the bed feeling lonely.

[/quote] Yeah, it's always struck me as a wide neck overall, but the nut's definitely only 38 / 39mm, unless of course my cheap ruler (and even cheaper eyes) weren't telling the truth! And yes, I guess I probably have undervalued it, but tbh it needs to go so...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 That's odd, I'll have to dig mine out and measure it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebo1 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 You're doing a good thing for the bass community! I have myself been the recipient of some incredible bargains on this forum recently, and this looks like another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had nothing but good deals (and pleasant surprises like upgraded pups) on BC too, so I guess it's payback time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebo1 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Agreed. I recently bought a fretless Warwick Rockbass and my wife took one look at it and shrieked: "How much was THAT?" When I told her it was £130, she was pleasantly surprised and commended me on getting a good deal. That's Basschat improving marriages! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
