that's the bass.
the originals suffered mightily.. terrible action and overall fell to
the necks.
I never bothered to plug one in.

these are most likely much better.

Looked cool but was almost unplayable and I hate zero frets.

On Fox's TV show "House" last night, on of the characters had a red
hollow-body Vox teardrop with a Bigsby. Sweet. Anyone know where I can
get one of those?

The sick punk rocker on the TV show HOUSE, trashed one of

was a hollow body.

I did, and they were a POS. Pickups were terrible, as was everything
else except the LOOK.

Obviously improving upon it......
But the Aspen body (akin to Poplar) might be an improvement. And if
not, you can always make chopsticks or matches out of it:

So. Did this happen after House cured him of being a musician, or of
poor taste in instruments?

I remember they had a whole wall of them at Thearles Music in San
Diego back in the late '60's/early 70's. Unattractive head (IMO),
flatwound strings an inch off the fingerboard, no sustain, and a
thuddy tone. I think they might even have had a built-in fuzz tone
(or was it a beeper tuner). Calling it a musical instrument would
have been a broad generalization.

I remember a bunch of them in Philadelphia.

Yeah, fuzz was built in on some of them. Weird.

Stuck in our Fenders and Gibsons, we did indeed call them shite. We
were right, too. As usual. They were crap then, can't imagine them
being any better today.

about how he sold his Vox guitar but then missed it. He hunted it down
in Europe and bought it back. Except he's not sure it's the same
guitar. Anyway, he said the guitars the pros used and what they sold
to the public were very different. Maybe it was one was the original
and when they mass marketed them the quality fell off. He said his had
a baseball bat-sized neck and that's why he got rid of but couldnt
take being without it (probably after he earned enough money to go
look for it).

A brilliant way to run a guitar and amp business.

entry level stuff - the originals were very good. Dave Clark 5 bassplayer
had a white 'Symphonic Bass' - very much a precision with two single jazz
pick ups. The later model (as in musicground Leeds) is nothing like the '64
model.
All Vox parts and tooling was bought by this company:
