Surprisingly Nice Bass...

This is a Supro Huntington III I recently bought off of ebay on a whim. It's overkill design sort of caught my interest. Three cool-looking gold foil pickups plus a hidden piezo in the bridge. A bit much, but they are a lot of fun with a whole lot of tonal variations. Somebody must be doing their homework in regard to quality enforcement. This is a well put together and solidly built shortscale with an ash body. The neck is very high-quality with smooth edges on the fretboard and a nice satin black finish on the back of the neck. It's also got a nice heavy-duty bridge.

It's a keeper...

This video sold me on the huntington. Being an amazing player helps too of course.


His pinky looks like it can stretch 5 inches away from his ring finger- it hurts my hand to just watch that :D

wow - this cat could play any bass and sound awesome. I always felt Havana was Jaco's most showcase song, more than Teen Town which is usually referred to.

So how does the neck attach to the body? The pic of the back of the neck shows the heal but no anchors are in sight.
