A Vantage VP-series to be exact which I dated at Februari 1982. I got it by trading it in on a Marshall 4X12 cab. Sadly my camera decided to die today so I don't have a picture of it yet, so you'll have to do with a Picture from the net for now.
Mine is similar to this but darker in color, has black covered P-bass pickups and mine doesn't have the switches.
Despite the neck through looks it actually has a set in neck. Like with all Matsumoku made instruments, it has very little accoustic sound but when plugging it in it sounds simply huge. And like All matsumoku made instruments it feels rock solid, you could drop it from a five story building and it'll be in tune when you pick it up. A work horse.
It'll see a lot of live gigs with my band. Peter, our bassplayer who's also my younger brother, wants to use it as a Back up for his Ibanez GXB bass which actually looks pretty much alike. My guess is that this Vantage bass will actually become his main bass since it's so much better than his Ibanez.
