A classic textbook case of bad decisions , there’s still some Starstreams for sale for £179 at Guitar Guitar in the UK !
I’ve read reviews that absolutely loved them , but they were a total flop in the market place.

I doubt they’d ship to NS.

That's an intriguing design!  Has features that remind me of an Ampeg scroll bass and a Longhorn.

morrow:
I’ve read that they are balanced with a strap or on the knee. They’re not heavy. But I guess they were a bit too much in a world of Pbasses.
Vox didn’t waste any time discontinuing them.

Alanko:
They don't really scream 'Vox'. At a time when shortscale basses are popular they could do a full fat Wyman reissue, but instead they do some weird IKEA minimalist stingray bass. I dunno...

Dave W:
Just looking at it, I can see why it didn't sell. Bassists may be more open minded than guitarists, but that's way too far out there to be a success.
