I was talking about the Vox Phantom.

Ah … sorry Eric. my buddy owned the Vox and I goofed around on it a bit right as I got my first 6 stringer guitar so neither of us had any playing skill. In fact we didn’t even have a strap, so just holding that thing was a trip!
As I recall it was as heavy as a log and had pretty high action, maybe not the greatest tuners. He later replaced it with a P-bass that seemed to be better all around - weight, action, balance, feel, tuners, punchier tones. We were playing Ramones really loud and terribly by then so it makes sense that the P worked better for him.
Memories of this comparison are a few decades old, for all I know that Phantom could have been the superior rig and we were too naive to know better

The body on that Ampeg Scroll is pretty cool, but that headstock is all wrong lol
Very late to the party, Laurent… hope there is still some punch left in the bowl???
I guess nobody mentioned these “whale type” bodies yet (I forgot what @howard uses to call them)!?
Or, a variant including a convenient handle if you need to throw that damn thing away 
(the first is a Fodera, the second one a Mayones)

I thought I didn’t like whale body basses. I have had to reconsider that thought.
That bass and the ESP bass @howard posted earlier are both stunning.
