I’ve been mulling a shorty for a while. Mustang an option ofcourse but mulling something a bit different, touch thicker and vintage, definitely a pickup nudging the neck, maybe a mud bucker.
Remembered the Serek (as that silhouette is gorgeous). Superb bass, do they sell in Uk I check, not easy. So price it up doing an order … stinky poo those things are pricey. I like em but if I had a spare few grand I’d commission mr Wilcock.
So a little crest fallen I back out of Google like homer into the bushes and up pops the Newport ads. They went live on shop site AS I was crying over an out of budget Serek. And SO CHEAP!! With trade ins of a couple of unwanted pedals that were going to a better home anyway £200 odd for a ‘why not’ purchase has to be done right? No brainer.
Only thing. The California coral is clearly the best finish … but, I already have a jazz in capri - way too close. It’s either add another orange bass like a madman or go classic cherry 🤷🏻♂️ .. decisions.
Would just love to see a decent thorough review pop up online first. Epiphone aren’t exactly singing from the roof tops are they. Which is strange. Anyone on here manage to make it to a shop to give one a whirl?
