Maybe someone has mentioned this... but the thing I like best about 5-string is that it gives me another option of where to play low notes. For example, playing a low G at the 8th fret on the B string instead of the 3rd fret on the E string gives you a fatter tone, AND gives you more range of...

I play mostly--but not only, in cover bands--and have one main band I play in. Really I think the bass choice is all about the repertoire. My main cover band does a ridiculously wide range of covers in virtually all styles. There's no set list in advance, and no time to switch basses. So I need...

Sorry for being a bit slow to respond to this. I have confirmed with our techs that all Supro guitars and basses use a 4mm hex. Best, Peter

The lightest models are the Huntington I, all 7.4 lbs. The Huntington II tobacco sunburst and fretless flat black are also 7.4 lbs. The Huntington IIIs are 7.8 lbs, and the other Huntington 2 models are 7.6.

Full disclosure---I work for Supro, so I'm not going to try to "sell you" on a Huntington. But I see you have a lot of experience with a Bongo, so I just wanted to make a personal observation, as a professional bassist whose primary working instrument is a Bongo 5H -- If you like the Bongo, you...

I totally understand cynicism toward artist endorsements. But as an artist relations manager with about 13 years experience, I have some perspective on it, that (not-surprisingly) makes everything more nuanced. I sometimes joke that musicians aren't monogamous, and really---if you think about...

He has an ocean blue metallic Huntington II, and a jet black Huntington I-- both modded with a piezo bridge. These are the only basses he has on the tour.

The hole is 14mm. According to Hipshot: "The 3/8" diameter version fits basses with a headstock hole size of 14mm (9/16"). The 1/2" version fits basses with a hole size of 16mm (41/64")." Best, Peter

Our head tech at the shop says: "Hipshot, Schaller, Grover, Gotoh. IMHO, in that order." For what it's worth! I'm sure others will have different preferences.

Hi Greg, I'm not personally very knowledgeable about all the tuner options. I know there are many different brands and models. I will check in with our head office to see if they have any thoughts. If you don't hear back from me in a few days, feel free to PM me a nudge. Best, Peter

Hi Jaromir, Sorry to hear about this. Can you please send me a PM with info on where you purchased the bass? Did you buy it online? Best, Peter

I hope your bass arrives soon! I assume things are in motion, but if you run into problems please let me know and I'll see what I can find out for you. Enjoy the -18C!

Please visit our dealer locator: Invalid Link Removed Enter your zip code and search for the closest dealer/s to you. Then contact the dealer/s, and if they don't have any Huntingtons in stock, please ask them to order from our distributor, KMC. Thanks! Peter

The C201 case fits the Huntington basses: Invalid Link Removed Or either one of the Supro gig bags.

When the piezo is turned on, the tone pot controls the amount of resistance the piezo element is seeing, which affects the resonant peak and overall frequency response of the piezo elements. The basses come with D'Addario short scale strings--on the piezo models, they're D'Addario ECB81S...
