We emailed back and forth a couple times about pickups. Super nice guy, great taste in pickups for sure! This is the kind of company I can get behind

Serek Basses
- Thread starter Yogi Bear
- Start date
This is the rest of the shorties. The Ibanez archtop and the Lakland are going to be for sale soon, though.
Just popping in to say there are RWRP single coil options available (Serek Singles, Novak BS-DS set). I am also open to using new pickups, so if a customer suggests something different, I'm all for it if it fits!
I am loving the sounds in the demo videos! I’m curious about the difference between the B90’s and the Serek Singles. Do the serek singles use rod magnets, or do they have bars underneath? Both sounded great, but I would love to know how they compare in terms of output, tone, feel etc. thanks!
Serek Midwestern ordered!! 
Can't wait for this one! Going with the Serek B90 pickup, Hipshot Supertone bridge, satin black finish.

I saw Deerhoof a couple months back, Satomi Matsuzaki was playing a Serek. It sounded great and looked super cool -
it's a lovely shape that really nicely balances the 'vintage' references with a unique and original vibe. That's hard to do.

Both use 2 bar magnets underneath. The B90 and Singles are similar in output, but being that the bobbins are different shapes and depths, the tone is quite different. I also use smaller gauge wire for the Singles to get a higher resistance. I often compare the Singles to Ric Hi-Gains, and the B90 to a P pickup with a low-mid bump and slightly tamer top en.
I just came across these while looking at options in that 32" bass master list thread. They all look awesome! I'd love to check out a 32" Sacramento as well as an Armitage. I love all the different pickup options he's got too. I wish I would have discovered these before I bought my last P-bass. I'd way rather have one of these!

Yesterday I took the plunge and forked over my downpayment for a Midwestern 2.
Here we go!

Mine came Tuesday. Outstanding quality. Tone is killer and the bass really thumps. Jake couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. Highly recommend both the basses and the company.
Is that the Guild Bisonic? Or Novak?
Good heavens that is beautiful!
I'd also like to know if you went with the Guild or Novak.
I played a few Serek's a while back and was really impressed. Looking forward to trying a few more out soon. If any of you are able to make it, Serek and a few of his basses will be at the Chicago GTG on April 15th.
