Heads up that MW2-099 (Midwestern 2 with Roasted Ash body, Roasted Maple neck, rosewood board, B90 w/dummy coil) is up for sale direct from Jake: [LIGHTLY USED] Serek Midwestern 2 Bass - Serek B90 + Dummy Coil - Roasted Ash / Maple - Serek Basses Currently strung with TI flats and has a black...

That beautiful Danko Lincoln is off of Reverb now - did you get it...? Curious how that one sounds/plays.

Thanks LowEndLobster! Can you offer your own impressions on how the regular B90 and Lazen-B90 specifically differ from each other (tones!)? Perhaps you'll get into this on your channel with the MW review, but thought I'd see what you might have to share here. Cheers.

For me, it's not about whether I can get the existing short scale strings to fit, but rather that since I'm dishing out decent dollars for TI's if given the choice I would appreciate a fully proper fit, with the silk windings landing at an even spot not too far up from the nut (aesthetics, but...

Thanks - I get your point. I've tried quite a few of the cheaper small amp combos (Ampeg, Rumbles, Acoustic, etc.). Some of them are fine, but I do think the Phil Jones has more of the "hifi" and "clear" sound I am after. I play jazz/soul/funk (not slap) through a short scale Serek bass (often...

Yes, I would definitely buy a set of JF304s.

I'm looking for a small practice amp with really great clarity and decent EQ options. So far I'm leaning to a Phil Jones Micro 7, which has the clarity (although very flat tone) I'm looking for, but EQ is a bit limited and it's slightly low power. I've also really enjoyed an older GK MB150s -...

Set neck.

It's my first time playing a Serek so hard to know how it relates to other woods in a Midwestern 2, but it's quite snappy and responsive while still having a thumpy and defined bottom end. I'd call the sound balanced, with good clarity - it's not pushing any frequency too much, but it's not weak...

Yes, roasted ash with roasted maple neck and monterillo rosewood fretboard.

Greetings from my new Serek MW2-099

I'm not sure what order Jake will put them in, but: - Bridge pickup solo - Neck pickup solo - Both pickups, in parallel - Both pickups, in series Here's an explanation of series/parallel: What are series and parallel wiring?

Series and parallel with both pickups on.

Just got my order in for a 30.5" Midwestern 2. It's gonna look like some of the others out there with a mahogany body w/natural finish, rosewood board and likely a black guard. But working on a 2 single coil pickup setup, likely the Serek Singles but with different covers and the neck pickup...

Very cool. I was wondering whether Jake would do a 32" Armitage.
