The seller really gives the full explanation about this vintage bass so i don't need to add any comments other than these are well made and this one looks to be in exceptional shape. the finish is so nice it could almost pass for a Reissue.

THIS TRULY IS A VINTAGE BIRD. MANUFACTURED BY NATIONAL/VALCO IN THE 60'S UNDER A VARIETY OF BRAND NAMES INCLUDING SUPRO,AIRLINE, OAHU AND NATIONAL. AIRLINE WAS THE HOUSE BRAND NAME FOR MONTGOMERY WARDS.
THIS SHORT SCALE BASS HAS AN AMAZING COMBINATION OF SOUNDS. IT HAS A PIEZO PICKUP BUILT INTO THE BRAZILLIAN ROSEWOOD ADJUSTABLE BRIDGE AND WITH THE BLEND CONTROL ALL THE WAY OVER TO PIEZO, GIVES AN INCREDIBLY WOODY TONE THAT RESEMBLES AN UPRIGHT BASS. THE PIEZO IS QUITE MICROPHONIC, SO YOU CAN USE THIS TO GET GREAT EFFECTS DEPENDING ON HOW YOU PLAY.
THE NECK PICKUP IS A TYPICAL VALCO MONSTER. VERY FULL AND FAT SOUND - THINK GIBSON EB0, BUT BLEND THE TWO PICKUPS TOGETHER AND GET SOME GREAT SOUNDS. EX- SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE BAND LEADER, GE SMITH CALLED THESE THE BEST RECORDING BASS AROUND.

- Supro Tosca Short Scale Guitar In Santa Clarita, Ca For $395
This Supro built TOSCA is very similar to the two pickup Amp in case Airline I listed a few days ago. These Tosca's show up every once in a shile - they were the intro level electric in the Supro Catalog back in the early 1960's. I believe it...

These are related to the Airline Model 7214 but they have two pickups instead of one. I know that this costs a bit more than a comparable Silvertone 1448 amp-in-case model but it is also less common. These Airline's were made by Supro (Valco) and...
