WITHDRAWN - Serek Midwestern Vintage White Short Scale Bass #MW-120 - MINT £1900 Birmingham

[Sarlscharisma]

Purchased in June 21 from SoundPure in USA.  Only used at home.

 

I purchased an additional tort pickguard which I think looks great against white.  Will come with the original Decoboom pickguard.

 

The waiting list is over a year for a Serek now so nice opportunity to get one of these boutique short scales.

 

Model: Midwestern

Serial: MW-120

Weight: 8.15 lbs

Body Material: Mahogany

Body Finish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer

Finish Color: Vintage White

Nut Width: 1 5/8"

Nut Type: Bone

Fingerboard: Chechen

Fingerboard Radius: 12-14" Compound

Neck Pickup: Novak BS-DS (Parchment)

Bridge Pickup:

Pickguard: Decoboom Streamliner White/Black/White

Body Thickness: 1 3/8"

Overall Length: 40 5/8"

Tuners: Hipshot Ultralite

Tuning Keys: Lollipop

Strings: Hi-Beams

Case: Serek Sleeve

 

No offers on this one as I have already given a massive discount (I paid nearly £400 in duties and shipping)

**Open to trade for a USA P (Fender/Lakland) bass and possibly cash either way depending on relative value. Also interested in Gibson Midtown Standard.

 

Will ship in its original box but that is at cost and risk to buyer.

Fantastic, beautifully made short scale basses

 

Found the Soundpure ad for it so peeps can see what the original scratchplate looked like https://www.soundpure.com/p/serek-midwestern-vintage-white-short-scale-bass-mw-120/27726

I can also help with 2nd question as I have the same model Serek MW bass. Here's mine at 12th

[Sarlscharisma]

Thanks for stepping in Clarky.  Yeah same bass!  It cost me $2700 plus import duties so really is a bargain price for someone in U.K. into short scales 

[Sarlscharisma]

Also worth adding that the Serek brand is highly regarded in USA as a boutique brand - up there with the best of them.  
 

I think they can be quite cost prohibitive in U.K. and there is a year build time so not quite so much talk about them over here.

[Sarlscharisma]

Can confirm it is 8.15 lbs

Wise move - I've found that weights do often vary from spec 🙂

Best I could do is the kitchen scale, but this seems pretty much in line with 8.15 with SoundPure's original ad.
