‘Devil Bass’
From a catalog:
Vantage VA900B Series
Designed for the professional player who needs a totally versatile instrument for every modern musical style, the Vantage VA900B bass embodies the highest standards of construction and finishing work coupled
with futuristic electronic circuitry. The VA900B’s state-of-the-art active/passive electronic system (housed in a shielded brass compartment) offers up to a total of ±25dB of active tone equalization off the center detent
position. The neck-through-body “transmit” design is the ultimate choice for sustain and structural continuity while two custom-engineered Vantage “split coil” humbucking bass pickups provide a powerful
bottom-end sound with exceptional definition on top. Special coil tap and phase reversal switches can be used to futher modify the overall sound.
