Fanged figure, for short (4)

I believe the answer is:

vamp

(Other definitions for vamp that I've seen before include "Seductive woman - improvised accompaniment" , "18 across musically -- seductress" , "Predatory woman" , "Seductive woman - passage of jazz" , "Seductress; improvise" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
