Sound Pure's Take
At the core of Serek's offerings is the, always great, original Midwestern. This Aged Walnut MW features Curtis Novak's BS-DS pickup, with powerful, round tones that sound thick and vocal with the tone up and dubby and warm with the tone rolled off. No matter what your approach, you're sure to find a sound you love in this playable, beautiful bass from Serek.
From Serek Basses
The Midwestern is a short-scale powerhouse that is compact in size, but does not lack in tone. Think P-bass meets EB-0. The Midwestern is made up of a lightweight Mahogany body and a 30.5″ scale Mahogany set neck making it effortless to play, and easy to travel with. Inspired by vintage Midwest-bred designs, this is our simplest and most utilitarian offering. However, updated with modern hardware and electronics as well as effortless playability, you won’t believe this is just a humble short scale bass!
