    Serek Owners/Fan Club

    Thanks for the info and the tunes, much appreciated! I'll check out the tunes; hearing it in a mix is ideal. In other news, I went back and sized up on the control knob(s). I do like the look of mixing them though, with the tone knob staying smaller...

    Oh man... this is the sauce right here. I love the Novak BS/DS in my Lincoln, and to see it in a big ol mudbucker format... I know what's going on my next Serek. You wouldn't have any sound clips of it, would you?

    Wanted to change up the knobs on my Lincoln. I really like the look of these flying saucers, they kinda remind me of a Les Paul Triumph bass.

    Snagged an Ampeg SVT-100

    Thanks! It's definitely cool to not just play but own a rare piece of equipment like that... But also interesting that it isn't particularly sought after or all that valuable 😅 Is this the AMC Pacer of amps?! 🤣 I spent a good bit of time yesterday evening playing around with it, and I'm...

    Snagged an Ampeg SVT-100

    It seems like threads about the SVT-100 only pop up every 5 years or so, figured I would post one since I just bought one today! Traded a SLM-era BSE410H cabinet + $300 for it. VERY happy with it so far! Nuts and Bolts: There seems to be extremely little information about these online, at...

    Serek Owners/Fan Club

    Does anyone know what size posts Serek's pots are? Or in general what knobs fit the posts? I'm thinking about trying some different knobs for my volume and tone.

    The official "Show your basses" thread part 19!

    Cross posting from the Serek thread: 34" scale Walnut body Roasted maple neck/fingerboard Novak BS/DS pickup (coil tap changed to a mini-toggle instead of push/pull pot) 12th fret inlay of Thor's hammer Mjolnir (comic version) 3-way toggle for a Tone Capacitor switch + passive fuzz circuit...

    Thanks! Jake was so great to work with, he could have just flat out said "no" to everything I asked for (and I still would have ordered one). Instead he came back with a "huh... let's try it!" attitude. Love that in a builder :)

    Serek Owners/Fan Club

    My first Serek incoming! I spoke with Jake a little over a year ago about doing a custom Lincoln build out of his new shop in NC, once he got things up and running. 34" scale Walnut body Roasted maple neck/fingerboard Novak BS/DS pickup (coil tap changed to a mini-toggle instead of push/pull...

    Ampeg SGT-DI

    Has anyone had any trouble with the XLR-out on their SGT? Starting this past Sunday, the output from the XLR-out was really distorted and low. My rig stays mainly stationary at church, so I don't think anything could have been damaged. Thankfully the 1/4" outs don't seem to be affected, so...

    Gibson-style String Mute Compatibility with Modern Bridges

    Personal context: I absolutely love basses (and really any instrument) that has some quirkiness to it, even at the expense of effectiveness, ergonomics, efficiency, etc. Along these lines I particularly love basses that have mechanical muting devices installed, specifically the Gibson-style...

    Gordo Club (Mike Gordon)

    Oh nooooooo! I'm so sorry to hear that! I got one of the last white posters at the merch booth I was at on Thursday... A fight almost broke out when a couple of guys just completely cut the line and walked right up to the counter to get posters.
