Brand
VOX
The Vox Starstream Active Bass 1H in Black applies Vox's innovative 3D body frame philosophy to a sleek, modern bass guitar. Engineered to optimize instrument weight distribution and physical balance, the Starstream's contoured outer frame fits comfortably against the body, eliminating neck-heavy tilt and shoulder fatigue during long performances.
Experience ground-breaking ergonomics, lightweight comfort, and massive low-end punch with the VOX Starstream Bass 1H in a stealthy, stage-ready Black finish. Designed for bassists who value effortless mobility without compromising on tone, this short-scale electric bass combines a revolutionary frame-structured body with a high-output humbucking pickup to deliver thick, modern bass tones that sit perfectly in any mix.
Innovative Open-Frame Design and Body Balance
Breaking away from traditional heavy timber builds, the Starstream Bass 1H utilizes an innovative ABS frame and poplar body structure. This unique weight-relief design yields an ultra-lightweight instrument (weighing approximately 3.00 kg) with exceptional body balance. Whether you are performing under hot stage lights for hours or practicing at home, the ergonomic contouring eliminates shoulder fatigue and neck dive.
Short-Scale Playability and Series/Parallel Tonal Versatility
Featuring a compact 30-inch (770 mm) short-scale neck, this bass makes complex bass lines, stretches, and rapid fingerings smooth and accessible. It is an ideal choice for guitarists crossing over, younger players, or traveling musicians. At the electronics core is a custom humbucking pickup known for its deep, powerful voice. By utilizing the convenient push-pull volume control, you can instantly switch the pickup between series and parallel modes—giving you everything from thick, heavy warmth to bright, punchy articulation with a simple tap.
