A Cutting-Edge Bass in the "Starstream" Line

Designed for contemporary bassists, the Starstream Bass Artist HL embodies VOX's avant-garde approach: a compact and functional design, refined ergonomics, and meticulous engineering. Its headless design and proprietary bridge position this model as a modern benchmark for those seeking to combine innovation, precision, and tuning stability.

Who Is This Bass For?

Ideal for intermediate to expert musicians, it excels both in the studio and on stage. Its responsive and controllable character easily covers rock, pop, funk, fusion, and contemporary music styles. The neck comfort and overall balance also allow advanced players to lower the action without compromising stability, while the passive bypass reassures purists.

The Sound

The Aguilar AG4M humbucker (MM-type) delivers firm lows, present mids, and precise attack. Paired with the 3-band OBP-3 preamp, it offers a wide palette: deep, clean lows; sculptable mids for "growl" or cutting through the mix; bright highs for slap. The preamp bypass switch enables passive mode for a more organic tone. The combination of wood/pickups and the deep neck-body joint promote vibration transfer, sustain, and note clarity, even when tuned down.
