The Vox Panther was a direct descendent of the Clubman and Bassmaster basses, replacing them in 1966. Although the same basic shape and layout, the older basses were completely British built, with Sycamore necks that had no truss rods. The Panther was an improvement in that it was equipped with a maple neck (with truss rod) made by Italian company Eko. It had a single four-pole pickup positioned at a foreward, or backward slant and just one volume and tone control.
This is an entry level instrument, and is in some was aimed at the student guitarist. It is a lightweight bass, short (30") scale, with a thin neck for fast playing. The width at nut is just 1 3/8" or 35mm. An eighth of an inch narrower than a Fender Jazz bass.
