The Supro brand is tied to some of the earliest innovators in guitar and amp history-a lengthy tale that would easily take up much more space than is available. In more recent news, the mad scientists at Supro have taken features from their storied guitar and bass lineage to concoct the Huntington series of basses. They’re offered in single-, double-, or triple-pickup configurations (with corresponding numerical designations). Here, we’re checking out the dual-pickup Huntington II.
The physical makeup of the Huntington is based on Supro’s early-’60s Ozark guitar, with the 6-string’s unique upper cutaway, smooth contours, and signature headstock being reconfigured for the Huntington’s 30"scale. Our test bass was constructed of mahogany, but swamp ash and alder are also available.
Coating the Huntington II’s neck is a black-satin finish, which provides smooth shifting and classy looks. A rosewood fretboard adds visual and tonal warmth. Players who prefer Fender Jazz necks mightbe a little wary of the Huntington’s 1.7"nut width, but it feels comfortable in the hand.
Supro also looked to their past for the Huntington II’s passive electronics. Its single-coil, gold-foil pickups are replicas of the Clear-Tone pickups in some vintage Supros. Independent volume controls are assigned to each pickup. Another historical addition to the Huntington II is an optional piezo bridge, which was included on our test bass. Popping the Huntington’s tone control engages this feature, which works in conjunction with the pickups’ volume controls.

I recently got a Huntington I with the piezo bridge. This thing plays like a dream, and there are a lot of tonal varieties available. Highly recommend these little basses. I'm very happy with mine.
I want one of these so bad it hurts… those pickups are badass!
The body reminds me of the Ovation basses from the 70's. I love my Fender Jazz but a short scale bass has a certain cool vibe. Sir Paul, anyone? I like flatwounds also, especially old Motown! Cool bass!
On the I version. If you roll the volume all the way off with the piezo on, the tone knob then acts as a volume and blend. Very cool.
Fun to play and balanced! Good with round wounds. Plays like a Gibson EB-01. I don't have the piezo, but I hear it's pretty nice. Top knob could be a little lower, but whatevs.
Based on your and Nicki Tedesco's reviews, I got the Huntington II with piezo "for my GF" for Christmas. Wow... it's everything you demoed tone-wise; so versatile! She loves the short scale and I absolutely love the retro look and satin-finished neck... sooo fast! Thanks for the terrific review.
how's the tention on the E?
@@GooseMan-64 I think it's just fine; slightly less than full-scale and therefore very easy to bend / vibrato which I really appreciate being a cross-over guitar guy. . The addition of the piezo makes for an extraordinarily wide variety in tonality. You can dial in as much or little of that piezo pop as you want.
Surprised at how much character it really has.......nice on my end here. Would be a nice bass to record with. Lots of variation for such a simple little bass.......deep and wide.
I REALLY like this bass!
sounds nice
I honestly really just want a full scale one
Very cool bass!!
How heavy are these basses?
Sounds a lot like my Epiphone Viola, but the Epi is a lot cheaper and doesn't have all that string buzz. And what's a piso pickup? Does he mean piezo?
YES, piezo!
Right, thanks!
Awesome tones! Where's it made? Don't really care - Just curious...
Probably Indonesia like the guitars.
Indonesia. Wouldn't be surprised if it was made in that Cort sweatshop.
Freaking Supro stopped making these. 😕
right?!
They're coming back. They were acquired by another company and are hoping to come back in 2021, apparently.
HOW much for an Indonesian made bass??? I'd rather buy an American standard P bass, thanks.
How ABOUT Aussie made?
Under a grand. MIA Fender is a lot more.
All this time and still no real bass player doing the reviews. Ridiculous. Steve Cook must know someone at PG. Awful playing. Every time. You can guarantee it.
I know right? It's annoying as a bassplayer, and as I'm genuinely interested in the basses on display. The playing is SO BAD, every time.
Apparently he's like a session player which is mind blowing. I play guitar mainly but I am 100% sure I'm a better bassist with better finger style technique and rhythm than SC. Sad.
Lol yeah, he's not very good at all
True, he's not a great bass player. But he's better at demonstrating basses than many bass players I"ve seen online who change pickup, tone, whatever but also change their playing style, like palm muting so we don't know what change we're hearing to attribute to the INSTRUMENT. Doug Wimbish is an unreal bassist, but his "demo" of the Huntington III is totally pointless! He does things that 99.9% of us will never do.
@@longtimebassist3145 Excellent point.
nah...
Maybe if it was 34" scale and didn't cost twice as much it should.
Buzz like sh....
I read the comments and the place where its made is NOT important... if it sounds good and you like it... dont need to be USA made... what I can't stand is all this brands with their short scale hipster shit... I played a grastch back in the day when nobody seems to dig in to short scales and you are limited... 19 frets is not enought!!!!!! for GOD sake!
I suppose if it were made in AUSTRALIA, they still wouldn't buy it!
For some 19 frets is plenty.
It is important if you care about treatment of workers. If this is made in that hellhole Cort factory in Indonesia there is no way I could buy this in good conscience.
I think they were WORSE in Korea, some worked even immolating them selves!
As well as 4 strings!
