Serek Lincoln in Deep Plum - *SOLD* £2300 Devon

[alexjbassist]

Unfortunately, some unexpected bills are making me list this beautiful bass.  I got it second hand earlier in the year, when it genuinely looked liked it hadn't been played.  It really is a very special bass that plays and sounds unlike anything I've been fortunate enough to play before.

 

It is in amazing/unmarked condition - the only thing I can see are some little marks on the front of the headstock that I can't get to show in a picture (the specs in the pic, are dust!)..  It features the twin Serek Single pickups and series / parallel selector for incredible tonal flexibility; gives you sounds from p-bass, jazz bass, stingray or single pick-up Gibsons.  It is both incredibly light, and extremely resonant - and beautifully put together.  Here’s the specs;

Orientation: Righty
Scale Length: 34"
Body Wood: African Mahogany
Frets: Fretted
Fingerboard Wood: Indian rosewood
Pickup: Serek Singles (Side-by-Side with series/parallel rotary switch)
Body Finish: Solid Colour Satin Plum
Pickguard: Black (B-W-B ply)
Tuning Keys: Clover

 

Along with all the other amazing standard spec - Hipshot bridge and tuners etc.  The pics aren't amazing, but happy to get anything more specific if required - it really is beautiful.

 

I've played it at every gig with one of our bands over the year (high-end weddings and corporate functions)... its always been transported in a Mono Case or its own Serek Gig-Bag (which is included).  Its wearing a fairly new set of D'addario nickel round wound strings.

 

This spec currently comes out at $3325 (inc international shipping) on the Serek website, which at current rates comes out at £2995.  Obviously, thats not including import duties (which a quick calculation put at £750?!)... and the waiting period (which was 12 months when I last checked?).  I currently can't see any other Sereks for sale in the UK.

 

Straight sale preferred.  Given the scarcity in the UK, its pretty hard to value - so if you are really interested, talk to me!  The only trade I would consider is a P-Bass with at least £1500 coming my way.  I would much prefer not to ship a bass of this value, however, will package it up assuming that the buyer arranges and pays for insured shipping.  Happy for you to come to me to buy, or would drive for a meet if necessary (happy to go up as far as Bristol, or any of Devon/Cornwall/Somerset to meet).  If you are interested or want more info, please get in touch.

As a fellow Serek owner, I would be interested to know just how light your Lincoln is? Meanwhile, this serves as a bump on me!!!!
