Rose-Morris were selling Shaftesbury-branded Rickenbacker copy instruments from the late s right through the s. The bass was one of the first models, alongside the six string and twelve string available from late until about The earliest incarnation was a set neck bass, produced very briefly in Japan.

But production quickly moved to Italy. This bolt-on neck example was built by Eko, in Recanati, using the same hardware and pickups as fitted to Eko, and Vox basses built around the same time.

It's certainly a fine looking bass, and not a bad player either. This very early, and pretty rare British-built guitar is branded Hohner London.

Hohner were, of course, a German company, better known for their harmonicas and accordions, but they were keenly expanding into guitars at the birth of the s.

This model, along with the Hohner Amazon and particularly the Hohner Holborn, bear some similarity with Vox guitars of the same period; furniture manufacturer Stuart Darkins constructed bodies and necks for both brands, with Fenton Weill assembling them using their hardware and pickups.

These guitars do have some hardware peculiarities, and they are not the most adjustable of instruments, but they actually play very nicely, being solidly built out of some very nice woods.

Check out the video on this page. The Vox Super Ace was a mid-priced British solid body electric guitar, produced by JMI at their factory in Dartford, Kent.

It was broadly modelled on the Fender Stratocaster, and a sibling model to the dual-pickup Vox Ace. Both the Ace, and Super Ace along with several other models , were redesigned in with a new body shape, headstock style, and pickup layout - only increasing the resemblance to the aforementioned Fender.

It's a pretty nice playing guitar with some lovely sounds - check out the videos on this page, and in the Vintage Guitar and Bass supporting members area.

The Vox New Escort was Vox's version of the Fender Telecaster, at a time when American guitars were out of reach for most British musicians.

It was made by JMI in England, for the British market, and unlike the majority of other models, didn't have an Italian-made equivalent.

But the New Escort wasn't a slavish Fender copy, adding Vox's stylish teardrop headstock to the tele-style body, with a stop tailpiece and two Vox V2 single coil pickups.

And it's a pretty substantial, and nice playing guitar, with a very comfortable neck. Check out the images, specifications, and watch a video of it in action.

Several instruments were making their first appearance amongst it's pages: the Telecaster bass, Montego and LTD jazz guitars, and the Redondo acoustic.

It was the final catalog appearance, however, of the Electric XII, Bass V, Duo-Sonic, Coronado I and Coronado Bass I.

The Eko Ranger series of guitars was incredibly popular in the second half of the s and through the s, selling in very large numbers.

Not a bad guitar; a little quiet, but pretty playable. These were great value in , and because they sold so many, they are easy to find and excellent value today.

The Symphonic bass was built in the UK, by Vox parent company JMI. It was the Vox equivalent to the Fender Precision bass, and was one of the most expensive Vox guitars produced.

It was actually a great playing bass, rather similar to the Precision in feel and sound, but was probably just too expensive compared to an actual Fender and consequently sold poorly.

When Vox hit financial problems in , unsold guitars and basses were passed on to Dallas Arbiter, who briefly sold the excess Symphonic bass stock as model This bass, although with a neck date of February , was most likely one of the unsold Vox guitars sold on by Dallas Arbiter.

Check out the bass, and the two video demos through s Ampeg and WEM amplifiers.

A detailed look at an early s Fender Precision bass guitar in custom black finish, with rosewood fretboard.

The Fender Precision had been shipping since at least very early - with just one re-design circa This example, then, shows a model already two decades old, but barely changed since the '57 revamp.

Fender got it right first time around, and although there are numerous minor cosmetic differences, the essence of this bass is effectively the same as it was in ' a simple, single pickup instrument with a GREAT sound.

Check out the demo video through an old Ampeg B It's no wonder this is the bass that everybody wants! The Vox Stroller was the brand's entry level electric solid body guitar, fitted with just one pickup and a fixed tailpiece.

Although aimed at student guitarists, it wasn't a terrible instrument, but did lack somewhat in adjustability, having no accessible truss rod and only a floating rosewood bridge.

JMI ceased UK guitar production in late '67, and combined with decreasing demand for the Stroller, this surely must be one of the last examples shipped.
