edstraker123 Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Anybody tried a Supro bass ? http://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/SUPRO.html That Huntington 2 looks gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikay Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 (edited) I'm really tempted. Came across them a few weeks ago and contacted Supro to find out who distributes them in the UK. Turns out to be JHS. The full range popped up on ebay a couple of days ago from Chummy Musical in Ipswich - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUPRO-HUNTINGTON-2-BASS-GUITAR-NATURAL-ASH-2042AN/282840631005?epid=15014569457&hash=item41da9d86dd:g:-4wAAOSwrnRafJ3O I also asked about weight and they gave me these average weights for the different woods: Mahogany - 7.8 Ash - 8.6 Flame (maple top, mahogany body) - 7.8 Black (mahogany) - 7.6 Edited February 10, 2018 by ikay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikki_Sixx Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 These look great but the only content I've really ever seen of one was Scott Devine of Scott's Bass Lessons gushing about the shortscale Supro Huntington. It looks very cool, but beyond this video I've not seen much of them - but then I've gone searching for one (yet!). Buy one and fill us in, it's for the greater good!

MarshallBTB Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Got a couple in the shop local to me at the moment. A 1 & 2, loved them both! Really great feel to the necks.... I ended up ordering one (coming in a couple of weeks) but in Vintage White, will let you know how it is ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you think of the build quality? Also do you recall where they are made? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to divest myself of 2 or 3 instruments I think to fund it though. I hope you can give us a review especially with a rundown of the tone each individual pickup gives.
