Vintage Inspiration
This newly-designed, short-scale bass combines the classic body shape of the early-60’s Ozark model with vintage-correct passive electronics and sonic inspiration from the Supro Pocket Bass of the same era. Although its scale is short, the sound of the Huntington bass is astoundingly large—boasting a tight, confident, buttery low end, articulate midrange and crisp highs.
Gold Foil Pickups
The unique Gold Foil pickups found in the Huntington bass are authentic replicas of the original “Clear-Tone” pickups found in the vintage Supro Violin, Taurus and Pocket Bass models. These high-output single coils deliver legendary, deep low-end, with very low noise and a massive, broadband sound that stays warm and balanced across the entire range of the instrument.
Modern Construction
The Supro Huntington III bass is available in two different finishes:
Tobacco Sunburst Flametop: flame maple veneer over an alder body, piezo bridge
Transparent Blue: ash body, piezo bridge
Huntington Series
The Supro Huntington Series represents a perfect marriage of vintage form and modern function—and provides excellent playability, top-notch build quality and huge tone in a compact, slick package.
