Question for you, if I send my signal out to the front of house, why would I want to send a signal from the quarter inch jack to pedals? Isn't it kind of late to send the signal to pedals if it was already sent to front of house and is coming out of the speakers?????

The master of simple sounding but clever bass lines. It's Dev's solid bass that holds together the chaos in the band.

Bend before you cut

He has that same driving pulse like Steve Hanley from the Fall

That neck pickup solo...dangggg

Thanks fo your very good video! This 4000 has a very straight forward sound, very simple, close to a P Bass, the 4003 here sounds typically like a rick bass tone, it has a lot more low mids, a richer sound, like going thru a tiny chorus , and even the "rubber "dynamic of the 4003 is a lot more expressive than the 4000, this is the Rick sound ! This 4000 is for me far from the classic Rick bass sound. I own a 73 4000 (set neck) that sounds between your 4003 and your 4000.... I am a sound engineer since 20 years.

How much does the Bisonic pickup weigh? Thanks

Fingerstyle tone up G 2:22 NB 2:42 ND 3:02 Tone down G 3:28 NB 3:46 ND 4:05

Sounds amazing! Thanks for that series

Very cool, Originally (the first 100 Kramer dukes) were made from the center section from a Kramer 8 string bass with the wings and the headstock cut off, Two DiMarzio pickups and a Leo Quan Badass bridge. Not the same body shape as The Duke

❤❤❤❤❤

I have a Lusithand Single NFP on my Sire V5 fretless with tapewounds, and I am getting all sorts of wonderful weirdness with modulation and fuzz, definitely a game-changer. It's nice to compare to the Alembic system which sounds very cool too, a bit more controlled.

How the heck do you make a 32" scale B string sound so HUGE??!!

This thing sounds so effin good 🤤

Queer sticker on his bass........ so brave

RIP phil..

Sick sounds! I found Serek basses via an Ian Martin Allison vid. Could someone please give me a track listing?! Some beautiful basslines I don't recognise

Im fortunate enough to own a Serek metropolis 4 string with the Alembic activators. These basses are amazing. Everytime i play it im blown away, great balance, low action, stellar attention to detail. Jake builds amazing instruments. If you have the chance to buy his work, you'd be a fool not to!

Great bass! What brand of strings are you using that fits your 5 string medium scale bass? It's hard to look for one 😅

Thanks for this tutorial! This really looks "doable" instead of frightening for the first time! 😊

Casually says "I ripped the frets out , planed the board and refretted it." Respect.

One of these was the first bass guitar I had. Got it for $85.00 I think it was, from Dixie Music Shop, long gone now, in Louisville, Kentucky back around 1975 or so. Developed an interest in playing bass and this was the most Mom and Dad were willing to fork out on one. Can't remember if it was new or used, but yeah, it was the least expensive one they had. Given the value of them now, I wish I still had it.

The Serek Midwestern 2 5 string is THE flagship Serek bass. IMO.

I bought an identical MPC Outlaw along with a Kramer DMZ5000 from a pawnshop for $375 over twenty years ago. Still have both. The good old days. Great bass video

I would argue that this bass sounds great. First off the original pickup is very bright and punchy though without that really nasal stingray sound, so you have no trouble cutting through the mix. Secondly, all 3 positions are humbucking because this is actually a Schaller quad-coil pickup with the "single coil" position being wired like a precision pickup. Playing with your hand closer to the neck gets close to a Fender P-bass tone. It's true that the parallel and single settings lack some low end, but you can EQ that easily on your amp or with a pedal. If I had to criticize something, I thought these did come with rubber pads, but I guess some did not or it deteriorated because mine didn't have one either. I'd also add that the bridge and tuners are much easier to swap out or source parts for than a Steinberger or custom headless bridge.

Lucas Harwoon, notorious tone poker! Best tone in the game

Lusithand filter sounds more like a synth filter

Beautiful! The Guild pickup is the one.

Those basses were kind of a mini Steinberger, using Kramer aluminum braced neck tech. In lieu of the Steinberger folding leg brace (for seated playing), they glued a rubbery lined strip onto the bottom bout of the body, which worked great until it fell off. Steinbergers also have a plastic plate that rotates out from the back, with a strap button on it, which helped eliminate neck dive. But my Kramer balances out on the strap OK even without such a device (that button is on a neck plate screw).

Are you guys making 5 string basses? The website only shows 4 strings

it’s as though god sent this video down to me to sell a serek bass. mt. joy is one of my favorite bands ever and ive been learning their songs since i started playing bass. gotta get a serek now

I had the pleasure of trying one in NYC Guitar Center. A very fun and lovely bass to play! Remember the neck being super skinny!

Why not make the middle position neck+bridge?

That pick tone...😮

It's time to save up.

Mica and Mary are so nice to deal with. I enjoy visiting the Mothership since it's only 15 minutes away from me and looking at all the cool posters, and seemingly countless Alembic basses and guitars in the shop area. It's like an hour vacation from the real world. I look forward to hearing the SEREK bass. Wow, your SEREK sounds AMAZING. I love the mix of Alembic and a bolt on neck. I own a Yamaha MIJ P/J bass with Alembic pups and pre and it sounds great, too, but yours growls !

What gauge round wound strings do you prefer on your 4003? I always find round wound strings to be floppy because of the 33 1/4" scale. I switched to flats because there is more tension but I miss rounds.

Head position looks similar to a Fender Jazz.

I never understood why some like to hear their tone different from what the audiences is hearing via FOH. If I'm using my amp, it's because my signal is not going to FOH. Thus, it's a smaller venue.

I used to have that same acoustic head....kick myself for letting it go!

@senatorjdvance there are still 2 of these sexy beasts available in the Serek store

This is a very useful video: i was hooked on the looks of a Jolanda bass but now on the sound to… i’m gonna buy it ❤️‍🔥 Thanks

Nice!

One day, I will be a proud Serek owner!

Dig it !

Is the Alembic activator an active pickup? Have you considered a three way comparison between Alembic, Lusithand and Underhill filters?

I love how they look! My only concern would be that I would get brush burns on my arm while playing with a pick 🙃

There was a terrible commercial sponsoring your product, do you have any control over that?

I'm no bass player, that guitar sounded like a double bass at times, wow !

Bought on of these in 1972. Still playing currently. Awesome instrument.
