Red, White and BASS! “restoring” a Supro Pocket bass! Vintage Short Scale Bass Guitar. Restoration

Hail to the Bass! Valco made some of the most creative and audacious instruments throughout much of the 20th century. One of their enduring creations is the absurdly short, short scale bass known as the "pocket bass". It's not because you'll play "in the pocket", its NOT because to fits in your pocket, and its NOT even because of all the 2 1/2" pockets drilled into the body...its because...well I actually have NO IDEA why people call these pocket basses! But I do know why people love them. They are fun and easy to play, and yet still retain the deep thump required of an electric bass guitar. Utilizing a pair of extremely microphonic pickups, one a sort of magnetic/piezo hybrid wherein a pair of coils are hidden inside the bass of the bridge, and a pair of magnets are set into the saddle, combining forces to create what Valco called its "Silver Sound". A unique, and surprisingly functional pickup. this blends with the neck pickup in a creative yet simple wiring scheme. The pair of basses featured in this video have very different fates in store for them. The first of them is the "Old Glory" Flag guitar, the old Red, White and Blue", a nasty, hand painted pile of patina that screams out even to the least patriotic among us. A beautiful bass, with an unknown, but undoubtedly epic history, which shall now endure for decades to come after having a full once over and being graced with the parts which were so harshly ripped from its poor little body! another victim of the online butchers that part out instruments for measly profits. spreading out their appendages like a serial killer hides its victims. faceless, nameless monsters! but I digress! enjoy the rehabilitation of the flag after decades of governmental corruption!
