But I don't think would fit in any pocket I have

I've actually been looking for one of those old Satellite/Jedson-type 24"-scale ones, but most of them on Ebay are daft prices or knackered.

a. it's ugly as f apart from the hofner string trapeze, which is hofner's nice and not supros. and in addition to being the most hideous supro bass bodyshape by far (taurus a million times smarter) the c&w cocktail cabinet door handles and huge glow-in-the-dark spatula headstock only add insult to eye injury.
b. sounds like fifty shades of crap. neck pickup is apologetic low-end muffle, negligible mids and clanky high twang. piezo bridge far better, but ultimately just sounds like baritone with the tone rolled back. zero bass frequencies and all-out total top spank.
c. "let's say you're 10 and/or just starting out..."
just price checked: let's say it's £800/$900 and you are drunk, sir!
d. in its favour the neck looks nice and slim, that i like.
in sum, probably the worst looking and sounding shortscale bass out there. but if you're a supro obssessive or deaf, get in.
squier shortscale jaguar bass £200 (miles better), gretsch junior jet shortscale bass £260 (miles better), epiphone eb0 shortscale bass £200 (miles better). all cheaper, all better.
and if you want semi-acoustic the hofner shortscale basses £260 too (light years better, but i'm hofner-biased so not entirely impartial).
£800??!! I couldn’t find a price with a quick search, but that’s delusional...

re my barely-concealed disenthusiasm...
first they annoyed me by remaking the pocket not the taurus, which is the sexy supro/lexington i actually like (disappoint me = instant war footing), then on watching the review i was frankly amazed that it sounds even worse than it looks.
on paper it seems to spec agreeably but i can't hear it at all.
then i found that price it was 'red mist' re criticism.
maybe it's harsh (or just hard but fair) and i should revise, but that was my instant instinctive response so maybe it's ok.
did you hear anything above overwhelmingly mediocre?

because i'm extravagance made flesh...
i have ordered
two.
and because i'm a vengeful sadist...
they're being delivered
to you.
The price is bonkers. I was seriously expecting £399 or something...
Is it from the same clowns that have "reissued" the Supro amps at eye-watering prices? Someone I know (a member here) has got one... it's not a bad amp, in fact it's very pretty and sounds decent enough - although nothing like an original - but new they were something like £1200! Utterly ludicrous for something with about the build quality of an Epiphone Valve Junior on a larger scale - and it was with me because it broke (not badly) due to an assembly flaw. Fortunately he didn't pay anything like that, it was a swap for something he would have been lucky to get even half that price for.

I have both gone right off you and admire you for your cunning now.

Similar marketing model though, by the look of it... retro styling, not very retro sounds, stupid prices.
