Priced to sell, super short-scale black Supro Pocket Bass with the original hard shell case! Based on the serial number, I believe it was manufactured between 1965-68. Cosmetically, the bass is in good shape for its age but does have some scratches and nicks in the wood and paint, the largest being on the back of the body (see pic 8). The clear plastic is cracked at the screw on the original \"lower\" thumb-rest (see pic 11). The headstock logo, Kluson tuners, volume/blend knobs, bridge and pickups are all original. All of the electronics work. The neck pickup has a warm, beefy tone and there is a piezo pickup under the rosewood bridge that you can blend with the neck pickup and gives it a very semi-hollow sound (because the body literally has \"pockets\" bored out in it which is what the rear panel is covering). The neck is pretty straight (see pic 6). The case is in good shape internally, and externally, it is a little worn on the ends which I tried showing. The case also works well as a guitar bench. I just put a new set of D\'Addario EXL220S strings on it as well. I will package this with extra cushioning and make sure it is very secure in its case and will detune the strings before shipping. Thanks for looking!
