Sound Pure's Take

Whether it's the lack of magnetic pull from that second pickup or some other black magic, the simplicity of operation and powerful tone of a single pickup instrument is something truly special. The 32" scale makes for a perfect blend of that short-scale more fundamental tone while retaining some of the tension and response of a full-scale bass. Jake Serek is building some of the most original, unique basses out there these days and we seem to love each one we get more than the last!

From Serek Basses

The Midwestern 2 takes a more modern approach than its sibling, the original Midwestern bass. Updates include a sleek new design with body contours and a lower cutaway for full access to 21 frets. The Midwestern 2 is made up of a lightweight Mahogany body and the same 30.5″ scale Mahogany set neck found on the Midwestern. This bass can also be made in 32” scale, and with either 4 or 5 strings for those looking to extend their sonic range.
