Up for sale, a 2022 Serek Midwestern Custom Bass in near-mint condition, complete with the CoA and case. Handcrafted by Jake Serek in Chicago, IL, Serek basses are designed to evoke vintage nostalgia with the functionality of contemporary design. Described by Serek as “P-bass meets EB-0,” the Midwestern is a short-scale powerhouse.

Weighing 7lbs 12oz, tonewoods include a lightweight mahogany body and a mahogany neck capped by a rosewood fingerboard. A Curtis Novak BiSonic in the neck position pairs with Serek’s B90 at the bridge. A push-pull on the bridge Volume splits the B90’s coil, and a push-pull on the Tone engages Serek’s built-in passive fuzz circuit.

Extremely tonally flexible, this Midwestern Custom delivers massive, vintage-accurate tone with deep low-end, robust midrange punch, and crystal-clear highs via the BiSonic, while the B90 has ample growl and cut. The fuzz circuit adds a variety of flavors when toggling through the pickups for thick sizzle and grind. This Midwestern has been professionally set up here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 flatwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.
