    is everything.
    I've been to shops, forums, and all over this thing they call the "internet"...

    I'm getting close to finding some details about my bass, a Vantage 730B, but I think Ive gotten as far as I can get.

    I know all about Matsumoku, the VS, VP, and VB series. I found a 725B but the difference is mine has four pots instead of two. I'm trying to find some specs for new pickups.

    This has to be the most illusive thing Ive ever had to search for, not many Vantages around.

    Any help? Any details? Anyone? Any..any..any...an...an...a...

    I owned a Vantage bass somewhere around '95 or '96 that looked pretty much like the 725B pic you posted, but fit your description of having 4 pots (2 vol and 2 tone). I don't remember the model number, but would assume it was a 730B. It was a passive 4 stringer (gloss black w/ black hardware, basswood or alder body, bolt on glossy neck w/ rosewood fingerboard) with the same pickup configuration (split P at the neck, jazz at the bridge) as your pic. I paid around $300 new for it at LouRose Music in Edison, NJ. It was my "re-entry into bass playing" bass after a 10 year hiatus and I bought it because it was similar, yet cheaper than a comparable "Bass Collections" bass they had there that I was lusting after.

    There's not a lot I can tell you about it. It was a halfway decent entry level bass, but looking back at it there was nothing that particularly stood out about it :meh:

    EDIT: FWIW, it looked exactly like the one in this picture except mine was a 4 banger:
