Details

Hello Talkbass. What you see here is a lovely Serek Midwestern 2 in a satin capri orange finish. I am the second owner of this instrument but I bought it brand new from the person who ordered it. After waiting a year and a half for it they were looking at other things, so I lucked out with a brand new Serek and didn't have to wait!

Its a 30.5 in scale, loaded with aguilar dcb pickups, has an upgraded zircote fingerboard and is currently strung with Labella rx nickel shortscale strings. Controls are volume, volume, blend. It will come with a set of labella white nylon tapewounds as well which were on the bass when I got it. Comes with the serek gig bag.

I've only had the bass about six months, but in that short time it did get two small dings on it. As most of you know, Serek finishes chip pretty easily. Both of the spots are pictured. Other than those two spots, its in perfect condition.

Admittedly I'd like to keep the bass, but I'm in the market for an upright so something has got to go lol. Asking $3000 plus shipping costs.

I’m pretty sure the string spacing is 16.5 millimeters. I will have to get back to you on the nut width.
That’s a surprise. Both of my MW2-5’s feature 18 mm bridge spacing. That bridge looks similar though mine are chrome. Is it Hipshot?

Definitely looks like 16.5. Feels like it compared to my other basses that are either 18 or 19 as well. I don't see any hipshot branding on the bridge (I don't think they usually do). I can't say for certain that it is a hipshot because I didn't spec this bass out, though I believe the hipshot vintage style bridge is what comes standard on the midwestern 2's, and this one looks like the others I've seen in pics.

Ah-hah! We have a nomenclature difference! Center of string to center of string sure looks like 18 mm to me :). That’s how I always measure it - right or wrong.

Gotcha! Admittedly, I don’t know which way is correct, but the spacing on this bass does feel smaller than my Ken smith which is definitely 18mm.

Wow that's a nice bass. :thumbsup: It looks like it is strung E to C, is that the case? Nope, after looking closer to the pics, it looks like B o G.
