Hi folks

I've recently come into posession of a VOX Symphonic Bass
s.no 69573.

It's a P-bass styled, 4 String bass.

It has a Fender shaped body, and from what i can see has a 2 tone sunburst thing going on.

There are 2 knobs (tone and volume), controlling the single 4 pole pickup.

The pickguard covers most of the front of the body of the bass.

The tuning pegs are the clover style tuners.

The headstock is Fender-esque. and has a string tree.
On the front of the headstock, is the detailing of "VOX SYMPHONIC BASS"
with a slightly worn triple trapezoid JMI logo, with the words "Dartford, Kent" On the back of the headstock, near the E string tuning peg is the serial number, debossed into the wood. and another decal "Made in England"

The fretboard is rosewood, the neck I suspect is maple.

Will attach pictures soon... I can't find neither my card reader or my camera's cable.

I do believe its more than 25 years old, but would really like to verify its authenticity.
 
Haven't tried it.

my bass amp is in the studio. forgot to bring it back :(
and i dun wanna run in thru my guitar amp. heh
 
do post your pics.... i am ionterested to know if your Vox was the one made in England or the slightly later ones that were reassigned to the Italian Eko factory.

Can't say to know that much abtthem myself, but Vox pieces are always intriguing cos the collectors onoly think abt their amps but apparently thye made nice pieces of wood as well.

Will wait for you to show us more.
