Supro BASS Huntington III Review/Tone Demo

[@keithruddell1800]

great playing, Nicki! i think my favorite setting would be neck pickup only/tone knob full/no piezo/flatwounds. i'd also like neck+piezo and middle+no piezo. i look forward to checking out your other content. :D

[@NickiTedesco]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful! It's a lot of work putting together videos so it always makes my day to hear someone say it was helpful or they enjoyed it! Cheers!

[@keithruddell1800]

it really is _a lot_ of work i've had some content channels myself. keep it up, you're funny, sincere, informative, and a strong player!!!

[@NickiTedesco]

keith ruddell thank you so much!! I really appreciate what you’ve said!! You seriously made my day!!! :)

[@gclaborn]

Based on your and Steve Cook's reviews, I got the Huntington II with piezo "for my GF" for Christmas. Wow... it's everything you said, tone-wise. She loves the short scale and I absolutely *love* the satin-finished neck... sooo fast! Thanks for the great review.

[@NickiTedesco]

I’m so glad this was helpful!!! And that you love it!!

[@joenerve]

Thanks for a great demo! I have a Huntington 3 out for delivery, due in a few days. Your video helped ease the wait :). I'm sooo looking forward to what this bass can/will do.

[@NickiTedesco]

Joe N I’m SO glad this video was helpful to you!!! Enjoy your new bass! The action is really lovely. It came set up quit well.

[@kevmac1230]

I'm envious.Cheers!

[@stevekeaton9165]

Awesome review. The variety of sounds is incredible and then add in the piezo. This is the bass I am looking for. It’s hard to find a Huntington right now though. It seems like everyone wants you to order one, however I would like to play it first. Thanks for a great demo.

[@NickiTedesco]

Thank you! You’re welcome! Hey you might consider joining my live streams every Saturday night! It’s super fun!

[@chuckmaithonis9132]

OMG!!! I have been in love with this bass since the last (winter) NAMM. I played it for a good 20 minutes, but never got a chance to plug it into an amp. And now I want one even more!!! Hahaha!! Thanks for yet another awesome review, Nicki! 🤘🤘

[@NickiTedesco]

Chuck Maithonis thanks Chuck! Awesome! You should try it out!

[@kevmac1230]

I think you play so well.And I have been in love with these basses since day one.I wish I had an excuse to buy one but being in my mid 60s and feeling guilty about all my basses hanging on my wall it's hard to justify.My gigging days are behind me for the most part but I still play every day.God those are so nice.

[@NickiTedesco]

Kev Mac thank you!! You know when I feel guilty like that, I just sell something I don’t use and then buy the new one I want. I works for the guilt factor! Thanks for the comment, I’m glad you enjoyed! Keep watching!

[@xanderraymondcharles]

your studio is goals. and your pants too haha.

[@NickiTedesco]

Stay Metal Ray LMAO! My friend DJ Amanda Jones calls me “Crazy Pants”! I love the studio! It’s a blessing. I’m glad you like it!! You should see my “bass-ment”. It’s a converted closet just for bass practice! I’ll send you a link to a tour of it if you want

[@ryanjohnston4249]

That's a seriously nasty bass tone with everything rolled on. It'd make a total rock machine.

[@jostonpowell1346]

Sounds like it would be really good for alternative rock but nothing heavier. Has a really boomy sound like you mentioned in the review. But I like my Alex Webster Spector more but I play Death Metal type stuff personally. \m/

[@NickiTedesco]

Joston Powell yep! Spector is the bomb! I’m gonna get him (Alex) on my channel. :)

[@thetinyitalian2595]

Beautiful bass. The style reminds me of the Italia basses. Great review as always 😁😉😝🤘 That riff also sounds similar to an old Tesla song lol.

[@NickiTedesco]

The Tiny Italian thank you!! I haven’t seen those Basses, I’ll have to check them out!!

[@MeatballCereal]

The bass hanging on the wall beside the Rickenbacker, what is that? The body shape almost looks like a Chris Larkin Reacter.

[@NickiTedesco]

There is Mitchell bass on either side. I have another video review of the Mitchell. One is FB700 and the other is a TB500. Check it out! They sound really good: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iofUqWx-h8R0j5Y

[@MrGreenwheel1]

A good demo needs more than one riff to highlight an instruments full range. For instance, how well does the bass sustain?

[@NickiTedesco]

Frederick W good point.

[@Aint1S]

I really like the piezo pickup on top to just make the fuzz go balls out... Or no balls out in your case! LMAO It honestly sounds like a full length p/j base with that pickup too. I thought you were playing rhcp, but realized it was coming down the mountain.

[@NickiTedesco]

hahaha! Yes bake out! haha. Yeah, what a different and unique tone this bass has!

[@DrMackSplackem]

That was unexpected. I installed a piezo pickup under the bridge of my first guitar, and when I finally decided to build myself a bass I figured; hey why the hell not do the same? I know how to, and they're cheap enough. I associate under-bridge piezo pickups with note attack, and largely unwanted acoustical noise (belt buckle and whammy arm creaking, etc). I knew I only wanted one humbucking mag pickup, so the control choices were fairly easy, with a simple blend pot and a 3-way pickup selectable low-cut filter option for the tone control. However, I don't know how they are getting away with all passive circuitry going in to a single output. To blend a piezo pickup with magnetic coils traditionally means matching the different impedences (IOW, active circuitry). I might have to try to find a schematic for this one.

[@NickiTedesco]

Joe Flink that sounds like an interesting project!!!

[@NickiTedesco]

Joe Flink I feel like I just learned a ton by just reading your comment! Lol

[@DrMackSplackem]

@@NickiTedesco Great! All I know about guitars, apart from being able to play and drafting body shapes, I learned from both my prior experience with audio circuit design and manufacture, plus the sheer resolve to just go and turn some piece of wood into mostly sawdust in an attempt to make the result appear and sound something close my original vision. Like doing anything worthwhile, you will fail at times, but it's been a fun ride, overall!

[@alxiroi]

Would love to have one. If you have a chance check out what the bassist Micheal League from snarky puppy did with it. Amazing soulfull vintage big phat tone.

[@NickiTedesco]

I love that band! I just discovered them and they are so refreshing to listen to. So talented! I'll check it out for sure. Thanks for the recommendation Alexis!

[@keithruddell1800]

piezo can be really cool on fretless basses too.

[@NickiTedesco]

Hell yes! It's the best with fretless!

[@rconstant679]

Just discovered your channel and the first thing you do is convince me to order a new bass lol.

[@NickiTedesco]

Randall Constant lol! That’s wonderful! But...you know you wanted one anyway! :) AND you KNOW you deserve it!

[@rconstant679]

@@NickiTedesco Oh you're not wrong I'm an easy mark for a good bass. But seriously thanks for the video and introducing me to this tone machine.

[@NickiTedesco]

@@rconstant679 no problem!

[@tiborrigo5667]

i love this bass since i first saw it . can you pls tell me how long the WHOLE bass is? for example the gretsch g2220 junior jet bass is 106cm long

[@NickiTedesco]

Tibor Rigó yes! It’s 105.4 cm.

[@tiborrigo5667]

thank you soooo much!!!!!!!!

[@bottomsupbass]

Whats your signal chain on this?

[@jackvenn2550]

Great video!! I really dig that bass, but does anyone know where these basses are made?

[@NickiTedesco]

Thank you! I'm finding out for you now, stay TUNED :)

[@NickiTedesco]

Jack Venn hi! Ok this is the info I received from SUPRO: Indonesia. All the instruments are sent from there to our factory in Port Jefferson Station, NY for thorough quality control, adjustments and setup prior to being shipped to stores or customers.

[@NickiTedesco]

Jack Venn and I must say, the quality on this is fantastic! The action is actually better than most of my Basses! That kind of upsets me...lol

[@jackvenn2550]

Nicki Tedesco Thanks for looking into this for me, it's very appreciated!!

[@NickiTedesco]

Jack Venn no problem at all!!

[@liamgoethals8145]

I am not a fan of the look but i really dig the sound tho! And whenever i play something that i made myself i always turn all my volume and tone knobs at 10 to😂😂

[@NickiTedesco]

Liam Goethals me too!! Lol

[@NickiTedesco]

Liam Goethals what Basses do you prefer?

[@liamgoethals8145]

Nicki Tedesco i like all the classic shape's, P bass, J bass, Musicman, Rickenbacker and everything that looks like it

[@NickiTedesco]

Liam Goethals yep me too. CLASSIC STYLES!!! :)

[@DustyCowdog]

Dang... you are freaking awesome. That bass is almost as beautiful as you are... just kidding...well not... well sort of... but yeah, well not but, really you are but I don't want to be one of those guys... but I guess I am.... Coming down the Mountain.... hahahahahaha... tequila city, baby... cheers! By the way, your personality is just a blast to watch / experience.
