Vigier preamp board - what is this unusual component?

I'm curious about the big black cylindrical component on the preamp board of my Excess series 1. Can anyone tell me what it is and what part it plays in the preamp circuit? It looks like a coil with a metal core so I'm guessing an inductor of some sort but I've not come across one of these in a preamp before. It's positioned between the volume and blend controls. The same component appears on the preamp of some later Excess 2 models but not others.

It's in fact a dummy coil to avoid the usual humming noise of the single coil pickups. ;)

Aha! I know about the hum adjustor but somehow failed to put two and two together, even though the adjustor hole is exactly underneath this component duh! Thanks for clearing that up. I love the Benedetti pickups on this.
