New Bass Day

[FrankieTbird]

Just picked up this baby - what a beast!  She must weigh about a half-a-ton (all maple).  Made in Japan for Vox in the early-'80s.  This is the model allegedly used by Billy Sheehan when he replaced Pete Way in UFO.  The neck P/U sounds cool, the bridge pickup on it's own is basically unusable to me.  Neck is big - maybe too big for me.  Total late-'70s vibe - brass nut, brass-plated bridge and back cover plate, laminate neck-thru, etc.  Plays nice, all-in-all I think it's a great bass for the money.  Anyone else have any experience with one of these.?
