What We Think

While the words "short scale" and "five string bass" can be hard to reconcile in the same sentence for some, Jake Serek has done it again folks! The MW2 5-string will wow you balancing low end response and ease of navigation. You've simply never had this easy a time wrangling that 5th string! The Nordstrand Big Blades are clear as a bell and tilt towards a modern sound while retaining plenty of thump and warmth, and at just under 7 lbs the slim and trim mahogany body makes for a delightfully lightweight "big" bass!

Manufacturer's Description from Serek

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.
