Clarky Posted April 26, 2022 Posted April 26, 2022 Short scale beauty with Aguilar ceramic P pickups. And stripes. Yum, competition stripes!!! Weighs zip all too. 30 Quote
BCH Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 OK, how is it!!!!!!!!!...jealous from Northampton Quote
Clarky Posted April 27, 2022 Author Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) Super slick fast neck, helped by Dunlop flats, weighs just over 7 pounds and the Aguilar pickup delivers a more solid fundamental sound than the single coil I had in my previous p90 equipped MW. Very happy indeed Edited April 27, 2022 by Clarky 1 Quote
CJPJ Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 Awesome looking bass and I bet it sounds wonderful too. Congrats! 1 Quote
ezbass Posted April 27, 2022 Posted April 27, 2022 Serek basses are the reason I started investigating short scales after hearing David Byrne’s bass player on SNL using a Serek fiver. My budget wouldn’t stretch to one, sadly. 1 Quote
Owno Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) Lovely bass! I was about to buy that one as well, but you must have bought it just minutes before. Congratulations, Clarky! Edited April 30, 2022 by Owno 1 Quote
Clarky Posted May 2, 2022 Author Posted May 2, 2022 Just weighed it. 6.9 pounds, fab. Our next gig is two 45-60 minute sets so this will be perfect for my back Quote

SirMoxie Posted May 4, 2022 Posted May 4, 2022 I'm curious as to the durability of the paint job. I LOVE the Serek basses and the colors but it always looks like the paint might scratch off with just a fingernail. Am I wrong about that and it's perhaps more durable than I think? Enjoy it! It's a beautiful piece. 1 Quote

It's a beautiful piece. That I do not know (durability of paint) but I do know I had a MidWestern previously in TV yellow that was a couple of years old (I bought it used) and there were no scratches or worn paint patches (couple of minor playing dings but that doesn't count) 1 Quote
Sarlscharisma Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 Fantastic looking bass. I bet those Aguilars sound awesome. Welcome to the Serek club (again). I'm back in again, after playing my bass a couple of days ago and thinking I was crazy to try to sell it. 2 Quote
Adee Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 Awesome that is one super cool looking bass, it’s going to look ace on stage !! Enjoy \m/ 1 Quote
Clarky Posted May 5, 2022 Author Posted May 5, 2022 Will get its first public airing at the Tuesday Night Music Club in Coulsden, Surrey at the end of May when its (lack of) weight will be wonderful for our two 45+ minute sets! Quote
