alembic1989 Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 (edited) Well it FEELS like a new bass. My very first 'proper bass' of 30 years has just had a makeover. I have a Vox Standard bass. It was bruised, battered,worn out , pots with no knobs on etc. I've levelled and crowned the frets, given it a full set up, some nice rubberised aluminium knobs....and yesterday installed a Bartolini preamp...a 2 knob one. It plays and sounds like a new bass..I'm really chuffed. My baby is now ready for the next 10-20 years....and naturally reliced to boot. I'm a very happy bunny!

HowieBass Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 You don't see many basses with a split P pickup that close to a bridge - the control knob with the black plastic collar reminds me of a Dalek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alembic1989 Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Lol..funny enough I thought the same thing..it does look like a Dalek. The P pick up close to the bridge is unusual..it gives the bass a J type sound that I really like..plus the Vox has a 2 octave neck that I prefer to the j type set up. Very good but very underrated these basses. I always fancied the neck thru model...it would be a great bass to pimp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
