If you love the idea of a shorter scale instrument, but have always found true short scale basses a little too cramped, this one is just right. Short enough to make it easy and fun to navigate the neck, but comfortable enough to make you question whether it's shorter at all! With both coils selected, the sound is even, detailed, with just a little warmth and growl. Jump down to the bridge pickup and you've got plenty of treble and clarity on tap without losing the bottom, engage the Bisonic pickup in the neck and bathe in the glow of classic Gibson EB growl and thickness. In every position, this Midwestern 2 has a really singing, musical, voice to it that will make you want to play just about any line or lick you know!

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. Pickup options are endless, but I find this bass tends to enjoy a more versatile, 2-pickup configuration such as our Serek Singles!
