cd_david Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) Vox Standard Bass made in the 80s, alder body I believe along with a dimarzio precision pickup. Good working order with no issues. Plays very well with a low action and no fret buzz. Everything works as it should. Controls- Volume, Tone, Phase Switch. Maple neck, Two octave (24 frets) fingerboard. Classic Vox Teardrop headstock. The bass does show signs of being well gigged with dings here and there, plectrum use and a large chip to the top bout and a crack to the rear of the headstock on the e string. It's never moved in the years I've owned it though. Great first bass, back up or main gigging bass that you wouldn't need to be precious about. looking for £150 plus postage or interesting trades but NO Squiers Thanks [url="http://s519.photobucket.com/user/cd_david/media/Bass%20Chat%20PA%20Stuff/767D3B6E-852F-4E7E-B852-1B6738D77818_zpsuplscakf.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s519.photobucket.com/user/cd_david/media/Bass%20Chat%20PA%20Stuff/A223A16A-8466-4033-B98B-0553F13EC71F_zpsgei9uzyw.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s519.photobucket.com/user/cd_david/media/Bass%20Chat%20PA%20Stuff/D95B2AA4-C60E-4F7C-8381-7C83B084BD6B_zps3zvohvat.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s519.photobucket.com/user/cd_david/media/Bass%20Chat%20PA%20Stuff/339CC54C-0741-4A63-8A2B-E369235CF479_zpsqpapijes.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s519.photobucket.com/user/cd_david/media/Bass%20Chat%20PA%20Stuff/6ED19534-8360-4A3D-BCC2-BCC828C8C360_zpsobukpoer.jpg.html"][/url] [url="http://s519.photobucket.com/user/cd_david/media/Bass%20Chat%20PA%20Stuff/8E2E7D8B-4083-423D-9162-B26A9F42E396_zps40oopban.jpg.html"][/url] Edited October 22, 2016 by cd_david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JensWest Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I also have one (my very first bass), with a crack in the head at the exact same spot. These are well built basses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cd_david Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Yeah, the build quality on these is easily as good as Mex Fenders if not better. Great solid components and electrics and classic looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alembic1989 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Fabulous basses...my first ' proper bass".. Still have it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inmate1571 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) I've heard these unfairly dismissed as 'japcrap' over the years..a solid, great sounding (albeit weighty) bass with a great neck. I still have mine thirty years later. Someone's getting a bargain. GLWTS 👍😊 Edited July 10, 2016 by inmate1571 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyctes Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Mine is not at all the sort of bass I like... neck is a treetrunk. But I love it and can't see myself ever getting rid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cd_david Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 £125? Less than the cost of a squier for a solid bodied bass with Dimarzio pup and vintage brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
