Serek Lincoln, mint; £2800 ono; trade for s/s Serek/Wilcock/vintage Mustang - *WITHDRAWN* £2800 London

[Clarky]

* Edit: withdrawing this for now to see if, with time, my injured left hand grows more comfortable with long scale *

 

Absolutely mint condition, never-left-home long scale Serek Lincoln. Ebony board, dual Serek single pickups, hot rod red nitro finish, unusual J width neck (1.5"). Ordered from Serek straight before I knackered my left hand in horse riding accident in March which has left me only comfortable with short scale. Physio on my hand - as I had reinforced at hospital today - is going to take at least a year and I could use the money for other stuff in my life, rather than have it sat unused in gigbag. Comes with superb Serek padded gig bag and case candy.

 

My £2,800 price tag loses me a bunch of money on the >£3k I paid, so no offers and collected from SW London. Alternatively, postage on top at cost and as agreed.

 

PS, I will probably end up pulling this ad when I am less p*ssed off about my hand but for now its for sale

 

Trade options added below: I already have a fabulous Serek short scale Midwestern 1 but would consider a second Serek MW1 or 2 or a Wilcock Mullarkey or Bisonic

 

Serek ad with specs (NB, it weighs ~8.5 pounds, not the 7.5 pounds stated):

Absolutely love this - a bit of a Ripper vibe here (I hadn't noticed until this was pointed-out in a previous thread).  Better balance than a Ripper I'd have thought, given the strap pin placement.  Stunner!

[Clarky]

Thanks @three!

 

While I would prefer a sale, I realise its a big chunk of change in today's environment so I *might* consider a trade with cash my way for a short-scale Serek MW1/2, or Wilcock Mullarkey/Bisonic .... very specific, I know, but I do not hanker for anything else

Oh man, I wish…. Beautiful thing from a really cool company. Jake is a really great guy by all accounts.

Verrrrry cool bass!

Lovely. If only it said Shrek on the headstock...

 

Sorry to hear you're still suffering mate. Hang tough

MDP has managed to fix that

Dunno if anyone likes the band Idles but they are currently rocking not one but two Serek Lincolns

Back up FS as I am still not using it and its too much money to be tied up in a beautiful, hand-made objet! 

 

Resigned to losing a chunk of change on this but try me with a very close offer - or p/x for s/s Serek MW or Wilcock Mullarkey/Bisonic (not the one with Stingray pickup though)

Here's a glowing review of a Lincoln by Lobster, so you can hear what the pickups and controls do

Well it looks like I would have to drop the best part of £1k to get this fabulous bass sold, so I am going to hang on to it and enjoy it when my left hand is fully recovered
