Seems like a rare gem at a good price.

Pretty good price for someone wanting to dabble on fretless without dropping a lot of cash. And only 7 lbs.

These are very nice looking basses, owning the two together would be very cool! They look very well constructed, and have a nice look to them, with all of the extra woods used between the neck, and the wings. Not too many videos on youtube, but this one isn't bad... around 3:50, nice use of harmonics...

Ah ! The fretted brother reminds me so much of the bass Henry Thomas played in those BBC Rock School episodes. Great stuff.

These Vantage's are always so hard for me to resist. My first ever bass was a Vantage almost identical to this one with one P pickup - as seen in this photo. (It was 1985. I was just ending my Motley Crue/Iron Maiden phase and heading into my skinny tie post punk phase. Such a confusing, small town time....) My second ever bass was identical to the one for sale but with a lighter, almost amber finish on the body wings. Guh... want....
