TheGreek Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I haven't seen these before - I like it http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vox-VG4-bass-guitar-c-1970-great-looking-/291507470326?hash=item43df32fff6:g:m4gAAOSw3ydVl-n9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the hand of john curley Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 That's bloody lovely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I'm liking that as well. Have grabbed all the photos so I have some reference in case I'm ever flush enough to commission a custom-made 5-string version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 That seller does tend to overprice, but the bass itself is pretty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyTravis Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Headstock kills it. What a pretty body shape though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Nice bass but surprised at how little info Priscilla gives. That's a short scale hollowbody with fairly narrow string spacing. It would originally have had a small white pickguard. Judging by the pickups and their positioning, I'd expect that bass to sound really quite Hofner-ish. A wrecked example needing restoration sold here on BC a few years back. This might even be the same bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Serious mix 'n' match bodgefest, that looks to me. I don't know a huge amount about these, but this (mostly) looks MIJ to me, am I right in thinking these are not particularly sought-after by Voxanistas? Neck & body definitely don't look related so the hardware (which I'm 99% sure is MIJ) may be donated. Might be an interesting project for £125 or so but this price is a joke. Jon.

alyctes Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 [quote name='Meddle' timestamp='1459322057' post='3015357'] Sunburst headstock but a red body, and pozi neck bolts? Hmmmmm! [/quote] To be fair, the seller says [size=4]"[/size][size="6"][size=4]This one came to me with a resprayed matt black body, but with pretty well all the original components fitted although not working.

[/quote] As far as I can see, except where the ad states otherwise, all the hardware is original. Have a look at http://www.voxshowroom.com/us/guitar/vg4.html I've dealt with priscillasnake many times in the past - completely straight.

Bassassin Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Cheers for that Jack - should do my own research! J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
