Great unit, I still have mine. It has some unique features.

I have one. It works really well with the special pickup but is pretty underwhelming with a direct standard bass input. i am not sure I would want to take it to a gig but it's great as a way of having a load of presets for home studio use.

If I recall, @ped used to rock the VB99 as his go to for quite some time and used to swear by it.

Yes I’ve been using one for a very long time now. I don’t use the synth parts any more but instead it’s my audio interface and multi fx for my basses and for driving my headphones and Bassboard. I love the form factor and the usability (though probably only because I’m so used to it). I think it’s a fantastic preamp with superb effects built in. I haven’t felt the need to to replace it despite its age - if it sounds good, it’s good.
