Bass of the Week: Musicvox Spaceranger
The Musicvox Spaceranger Bass looks like it comes out of a ’60s atomic age sci-fi flick. The wacky design is set apart by its elongated lower horn and unique headstock that oozes personality. In this vein, the Spaceranger is built for a vintage bass tone to match its retro vibes.
The Spaceranger is built with a mahogany body, maple neck, and rosewood fingerboard that’s fitted with block pearloid inlays. It comes standard with a pair of Musicvox’s own bass humbuckers that are selected via 3-position pickup switch. Hardware includes a cast Bass Tune-O-Matic Bridge and Kluson style vintage tuners. To round out the bass’s style, it comes in six finishes: 3-tone Sunburst, Silver Sparkle, Cherry Burst, Gold Sparkle, Black, 3-Tone Burst and Yellow.
