Sound Pure's Take
We've been so blown away by the character and sonic richness of Novak's Thunderbird pickup we just had to hear it this configuration. This single-pickup monster has such grit, girth, and power!
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!
