Price drop: £1800

A Serek Midwestern short scale (30.5 inch) with Dunlop flats and Jake's B90 pickup (passive). The bass weighs 3.2kg (7.05 lbs), balances well and is a ton of fun to play. The body is made of African mahogany (Khaya spp.) I'm selling it to fund my next Serek build. Current new price as specced is £2490. More details here: https://www.serekbasses.com/basses/midwestern/ 

In Jake's words: "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!"

Love this bass, keep coming back to look. I assume its this one from BassDirect, which has more pics to salivate over

https://www.bassdirect.co.uk/bass_guitar_specialists/Serek_Midwestern_TV_Yellow.html

No, I ordered it direct but that one Mark sold was an inspiration for sure (if you look carefully, you can see that one is MW-070 and mine is MW-075; mine doesn't have the dummy coil either).

FWIW, I've just paid my deposit for the next one (Midwestern 2, 32" neck, black body, jatoba fingerboard, black pickguard and bi-sonic pup) - should be ready by December 😀

I have a 30.5” Mid Western 2 5 string on order.... Mahogany body and neck, Pau Ferro fingerboard.... Nordstrand Blades, all white with a 6 ply scratch plate....

I’ve been taking lessons with Evan Marien and he has one he loves so I know it’s gonna be a beast...

Would love a MidWestern 4 with one of Jake’s B 90’s....

I love this bass, I want it, if I was in the UK I woulda snapped it up to try it on, but I’m not so I’m considering my own Serek build.  A couple of decisions still to make on the exact configuration.
