Sound Pure's Take
Inspired by a certain German short scale bass made famous by a certain Englishman, this "Cavern" style Midwestern 2 features Jake's Serek Singles in a shifted configuration for gloriously round tones. The neck pickup is deep and understated, perfect for dubby, thick sounds to shake the room. And the middle pickup has a delightfully P-style midrange growl while still bringing that low-end rumble.
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!
