SMV Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) Time to sell a few basses to make room for a few more basses Vox Standard bass, this one's a bit of a rare oddity - Made between 1982-1985, 1 precision style pickup near the bridge, volume/tone and series/parallel switch. Condition.. well used! Quite a few dings on body and neck, but plays just fine. SOLD for £110 Hohner Professional PJ Fretless, Fender black nylon tapewound strings, mild fingerboard wear £90 A Yamaha RBX-170, Violin burst, P/J pups, very shallow scratches on the rear (barely visible) SOLD for £70 No-name fretless electro-acoustic, could be a 'Swift'... A bit buzzy round frets 1-4, otherwise it's fine. Good for noodling... SOLD for £20 Thanks for viewing, hope you've seen something you like. (EDIT) VOX SHIPPING: Approx. £20 in the UK Approx. £80 in Europe, insured up to £200, 1 day delivery. OR feel free to arrange your own courier, that's cool too! I have Bass - sized boxes and many rolls of bubblewrap and parcel tape! If you live in or around the M25 I'm happy to deliver it myself (for cost of petrol) or meet you somewhere in the middle.

andy67 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Great collection, although you may want to seek advice re the VOX; I suspect its worth more than the £80 you are asking. (70/80's Jap crap) good luck andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just prefer my regular P bass, and it's a shame it's not getting played, which is the only reason for me selling it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JensWest Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 A VOX std. bass was my first bass ever. Still own it. Among the basses with the lowest action I've ever owned and I've owned Fodera and KS's. Very interesting sounding and versatile for a passive, one mic, bass. Got a great 80's feel to it. Good luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
