New Supro basses

<< < (2/2)

Dave W:
You can buy an Indonesian made Fender acoustic with a set neck and a Fishman piezo for 1/3 the price of the Supros, or less. And Fender doesn't try to mislead about the country of origin. Indonesia is not Japan or Korea in terms of labor cost. If these were MIK with US-made pickups, the price would be reasonable. Those pickups aren't US-made, and as far as being "vintage correct," the originals were never highly thought of back in the day. This company is all about creating nostalgia for something that wasn't very good to begin with.

Then there's this: "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."  :rolleyes:  Wow, can they be any more cliched than that? What a load of hype.

That sounds like it's straight out of a Bass Player magazine "review".  8)

Good point. All that's missing is "sounds like a (insert brand name here) on steroids!" and "plays like buttah!"
