Part descriptions for Vox bass guitars

Early 1960s chrome single coil pickup

These were Vox's first bass pickups, and were fitted to all the early UK-built models: Vox Clubman bass, Vox Bassmaster, Vox Symphonic bass and early versions of the Vox Phantom bass. The presence of the VOX logo was not universal, some basses had one or even two plain, others had Vox logos on both pickup covers.

As can be seen, this is a really simple single coil pickup. The windings are covered with waxed cloth.

Dimensions: length (excl. mounting tabs) 75mm, screw to screw 89mm, width 21mm
Typical resistance: 6.5-7kΩ


Mid 1960s white plastic single coil

This single coil pickup was used in the Vox Panther.

Dimensions: length (excl. mounting tabs) 78mm, screw to screw 86mm, width 22mm
Typical resistance: 6.5 kΩ


Mid 1960s white plastic single coil

This single coil pickup was used on several early Italian-made basses: Vox Violin bass (V250), Vox Wyman bass (V248) and the Mark IV (V224). Although very similar to the pickup above, it is a little smaller.

Dimensions: length (excl. mounting tabs) 69mm, screw to screw 77mm, width 18mm. Mounting plate 97mm x 35mm
Typical resistance: 5.5 kΩ


Late 1960s E.M.E. chrome single coil

These were the Vox pickups, used on most Italin-built models from early 1967, such as the Vox Astro IV, Vox Constellation IV, Vox Delta IV, Vox Sidewinder IV, Vox Skybolt IV, Vox Spyder IV and Vox Stinger IV. Vox part number 09-3983-0

Fender 64 Jazz Bass
Fender 64 Jazz Bass Closet Classic 3-Tone Sunburst

Built to the exacting specifications of its vintage, including body contours and radii, neck shape, fingerboard radius, pickups, electronics, and hardware. Original materials, tooling, and production techniques were employed wherever possible. This Closet Classic is designed to replicate a bass that was bought new in 1964, played perhaps a dozen times a year, and then carefully put away. It has a few small "dings," lightly checked finish, oxidized hardware, and aged plastic parts. Classic alder body and maple neck wood combination with round laminate rosewood fretboard, 20 vintage-style frets, 34" scale, and 1.5" nut width. Chrome hardware including pickup guard, control plate, and "ashtray" bridge cover. Custom '60s Jazz Bass pickups crank out the gorgeous tone that made this model a classic. Comes in a brown textured vinyl-covered hard case with strap and cable.
