this is the best bass setup tutorial i have seen, i wish i had this when i was younger would have saved me a lot of time, you hit every important point and explained it well, also demonstrating it in real time is awesome to show how simple and easy a setup can be 10/10
"Polish a turd"... man I love the way that bass looks and sounds. It ain't beaten up, it's alive! 😄❤ Anyway, currently at bass setup 11 all over the last 2 years with full fret levelling and polishing and I love learning how makers and luthiers go about theirs. Thanks so much for this. Serek basses rock!
What a gorgeous guitar. Jake, would it be possible to have a neck pickup adjacent to the neck (SG style) and a middle pickup in the P position? Would love to get one like that in the future.
Not only does Serek bang out some of the best basses ever made, but they also make a killer tutorial. Thanks Jake!
Aw shucks, you are welcome!

Thanks for the kind words!
Great video, thanks Jake!!! Seeing the shop again brought back very fond memories of the Get Together we had there recently!!!
Thanks for this tutorial! This really looks "doable" instead of frightening for the first time! 😊
Good tip on setting the intonation slightly flat to account for extra fretting pressure while playing. I'd never considered that before.

This bass definitely has the mojo!
Never set up a bass before, until right now. Thanks!
Happy to help!
Love this. Bass setups are something I seriously need to work on.
Great video. Very informative.....thanks! Beautiful bass.
Great video, Jake! "Play the shit out of it..." indeed!
Excellent video! Shared 😊🙌
I use the peg spacing as measurement. I'll go two peg lengths past the one I'm stringing.
That works great for a 4-in-line headstock!

I tune once a month, whether the bass needs it or not. Kidding. Love that bass. Is it your number one?
It has been in the number one spot for a long time, but I rotate often.
I really need me one of those MW 2 basses.
You had me at "crustbucket"
