Mark Knopfler purchased this bass guitar from Kummer’s Vintage Instruments in Coral Springs, Florida, in November 2008 and kept it for studio use. The Vox Phantom was used by bassist Glenn Worf to record the unreleased track ‘Miles And Miles’ for Knopfler’s 2012 solo studio album Privateering. Keyboardist and album co-producer Guy Fletcher photographed the recording session at British Grove Studios for his 2011 online studio diaries, noting: 'One of the tunes required something a little 'noisier' than the usual warm distinctive tones of a Precision, so we tried a few alternatives... Gibson EB, Hofner etc… but eventually ended up going for this Vox Phantom. An unusual looking instrument which required a little careful TLC from [guitar tech] Mr. Saggers.'
