The Vox Bassmaster didn't change too much over the years, but the very earliest examples (made by Fenton Weill) did have some distinct parts (have a closer look at a 1960 Vox Bassmaster). This parts list, printed by the Thomas Organ Company and issued to American dealers in March 1966, covers guitars made from about 1962 onwards. Bassmasters had been available in the UK since at least December 1960, although few were imported into America initially. The Bassmaster was only built in the United Kingdom, and instruments sold in other countries were all imported from Britain. It was not a model produced in Italy although a very similar model, the Vox Panther was.
This parts list mentions two different control knobs for the Bassmaster, the white plastic knobs that were the standard in the UK, and the knurled metal knobs (part 09-141-0, as opposed to the more widely used 09-314-0) that were not usually fitted to Vox's entry level guitars. It seems these knobs were being fitted to American imported Bassmasters circa 1966. The white plastic knobs were still being used in the UK at this time. By this point Bassmasters were not selling in large numbers either in Britain or America.
