Very RARE! Vox V284 Stinger IV Bass 1968 w/ case

Incredibly rare and gorgeous teardrop-shaped Vox Stinger IV Bass. Manufactured in Italy.

The Stinger IV is a direct descendant of the Vox Wyman bass with the same hollow body and very narrow neck. Bill Wyman’s endorsement deal was relatively short-lived, and by 1968 the bass no longer bore his name. Nevertheless, Vox continued with the same basic design. The Stinger has the typical Vox appointments for that year; wider-cased metal covered pickups and a very large headstock with a VOX logo made of individual gold plastic letters. The scale is short (29" or 30", depends on how you measure...) and the ergonomics are comfortable.

These are some of the nicest Vox instruments in terms of build quality and fretwork, this is a fast-playing and good sounding if rather eccentrically styled bass from the company’s later ’60’s line, a distinctive instrument by any standard. Comes with the case.
