Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a VOX Starstream Active Bass 1H/2S Artist bass guitar.
Please take a few moments to familiarize yourself with the features, setup, and care of
your new instrument.
• This instrument utilizes an easy-to-play short scale, a lightweight frame structure, and
a compact body. The weight of the instrument is also balanced.
• The Starstream Active Bass 2S Artist takes cues from the classic Jazz Bass
®
sound
of the 1970’s and features Aguilar
®
AG 4J-70 pickups. These pickups provide a clear
and deep low end, as well as a sparkling high end that rings out nicely.
The Starstream Active Bass 1H Artist offers a classic Stringray
®
tone with superior
balance between the strings, which is characteristic of the Aguilar
®
AG-4M pickup.
This pickup provides a combination of rich overtones throughout the entire audio
spectrum.
• Both Artist basses are equipped with Aguilar
®
OBP-2 preamps. These circuits allow
for a wide range of control and excel at providing fat bass tones.

Inserting batteries
Open the battery cover located on the back panel, and install two 9V alkaline batteries.
Be sure to insert batteries in the correct orientation.
TIP Insert the second battery in the same direction as the first.
Replacing the batteries
You may experience problems such as low volume or no sound, distortion and noise if
the battery power is low. If this occurs, it’s time to replace the batteries.
TIP You can use the toggle switch to bypass the preamp and still get sound, even if the
batteries run down.
Remove exhausted batteries immediately. Exhausted batteries left installed may
leak, causing a malfunction. You should also remove the batteries if you do not ex-
pect to use the instrument for a long period of time.

1H 2S
Volume knob: The 1H model has one volume knob, whereas the 2S model has a vol-
ume knob for each pickup.
Tone knob: The 1H model has dedicated knobs for treble and bass. These knobs will
boost or cut the sound accordingly. Both knobs feature center detents. The 2S model
has a two-ring knob with center detent. The upper ring is for boosting/cutting the treble,
and the lower ring is for the bass.
Toggle switch: Switching this towards the knobs will activate the internal preamp and
enable the tone knob(s). Switch this towards the pickup to bypass the internal preamp.
The pickup will operate in passive mode, and the tone knob(s) will be disabled.
The preamp power will be off until you insert a plug into the output jack.

Set up
Each VOX bass is adjusted at the factory for a wide range of playing styles, with .045”
to .105” gauge strings. You may want to fine tune the playability for your own personal
style, different string gauges, or after a change in the weather.
Adjusting the Neck Relief
Before making any adjustments, you’ll need to verify the correct relief, or concave bow,
in the neck. With the bass tuned, press the low E string down at both the 1st and 21st
frets (a capo at the first fret makes this easier) and check the distance between the top
of the 8th fret and the bottom of the low E string. Ideally, you’ll see a very small gap,
similar to the thickness of a thin pick.
If you see too much relief, you’ll need to tighten the truss rod by turning the truss rod
adjust nut clockwise with the supplied wrench. If you don’t see enough relief, or if the
string is touching the 8th fret, you’ll need to loosen the truss rod by turning the truss rod
adjust nut counter-clockwise.
Never force the truss rod. If you are uncomfortable with this kind of adjustment, take
your bass to a qualified service center.
Adjusting the String Height
Unless a large change in action is necessary, it is best to adjust action at the saddles
instead of the bridge posts. To raise the action of a particular string, turn the appropriate
bridge saddle height adjust screws clockwise with the supplied tool. To lower the action,
turn the appropriate bridge saddle height adjust screws counterclockwise. Each bridge
saddle has two saddle height adjust screws, so try to adjust each screw by the same
amount to keep the saddle level.
Adjusting the Intonation (Octave Tuning)
Changes in neck relief, string action, or string gauges can all change intonation. To
check the intonation, compare the pitch of the note fretted at the 12th fret to the pitch of
the 12th fret harmonic for each string. If the fretted note is sharp (higher in pitch than the
harmonic), you’ll need to make the string longer by turning the intonation adjust screw
clockwise. If the fretted note is flat (lower in pitch than the harmonic), you’ll need to
make the string shorter by turning the intonation adjust screw counterclockwise.
Adjusting the Pickup Height
The height of the pickups is adjusted in a similar way to the height of the bridge sad-
dles—by turning the height adjust screws either clockwise (up, higher output) or counter
clockwise (down, lower output). Remember to leave plenty of clearance for the vibrating
strings.

Care
When you finish playing, wipe the bass down with a clean, soft cloth. Use a quality gui-
tar polish occasionally, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Protect your instrument from temperature extremes and sudden changes in tem-
perature. A bass left in a hot trunk of a car at full string tension can literally pull itself
apart. If a cold bass is brought suddenly into a heated room, the finish can crack.
Restringing with new strings
Your VOX bass will sound best with fresh strings. When installing new strings, first load
the string through the back of the bridge, then trim the length so that the string extends
2–2 ½ inches (50mm–60mm) beyond its tuner. Insert the trimmed end into the tuner,
and wrap the string around and down the tuner shaft.
If you will not be using the instrument for a long time, we recommend that you loosen
the pegs by one rotation to reduce the load on the strings.
