It looks well worn but if it's functional and you can get it set up to your liking, that's a darn good price... still somewhat risky if you can't try it out first...

EDIT: Proceed with caution... it looks like that top heel might have cracked off right above the toggle switch... or at minimum it's a bad crack through the finish... definitely would want to hold this one first cause even $150-200 is too much to spend on a disaster. :-)

It was relisted then sold, anyone here got it?

What happened there is some "Frankenbass surgery" where someone actually grafted an upper horn from some other bass onto the original Vantage body.

The original VP795B body was symmetrical, as seen in the pic of mine below:

The only thing I can say in defense of that surgical procedure is that a VP795B is a vastly underrated, absolutely killer sounding bass- so if "amputation and attachment of an artificial limb" were an absolute last resort to "save the patient" :roll: I have some sympathy for it.
