Sometimes I write stuff here, and I'm pretty sure no one reads it, but that's ok because it's usually not anything important. Here's a joke for you though: How does a pirate know how long his pegleg is? With a YARRRdstick!

Dude, it is beyond phenomenal how insanely good that bass sounds and looks. So damn nice and I am beyond jealous 🤤
Come over and I’ll let you play it.
@@ampthebassplayer I mean, the weather in SLC is def better than here in Austin lolol
@@PatrickHunter Patrick aren’t you big enough to get them to send you one for “review”? Then just ask for a 25% discount.
Love that bass!! It's like a Gibson Ripper/Grabber body with a Ric neck, Flying V pickguard, and bass P-90s.
Glad you're loving your Serek bass. As you said in the video, I've known you've been waiting on this bass for a while and I'm glad to see this thorough walkthrough. If you do get another one get would love to see it in green XD
An Armitage is Kelly green would be sick.
Thnx for video. I'm 70 and seen all kind of basses and this instrument is great.
Love the Serek Lincoln because it’s the closest to the Gibson Grabber
I have an early, fretless, chambered Sacramento. It's a tonal beast. Jake knows his stuff!
This bass is just so clear but also versatile.
I really love these Sereks. Nice playing.
I now own Lincoln LNC-055! Glorious instruments.
Woot! Serek owners represent!
in all seriousness, cool bass and great review. so nice to hear how it sounds in context. I have also been intereested in a Serek for a long time now... maybe this was the sign that it's time to get one!
Fantastic demo and application in the field.
What a cool looking and cool sounding bass!
Good tune selections and playing !. Great bass.
I just got mine some weeks ago. And I get your sentiment on 9.00, it IS my 2nd Serek!
Gorgeous sounding bass! Thanks for sharing all the fantastic sounds you can get with it 🎶🎵❤️✌️
Thanks for watching!
This thing sounds so ridiculous good it hurts
Im in love... i want a shamrock green one with gold hardware...( i watched this three times already)
It's looks like gibson ripper and a rickenbacker had a child . It sounds good
Sounds good AMP
Serek is doing some really cool stuff.
Great sounding bass! I have a Serek Midwestern 5 string and I love it. Jake and his crew make incredible instruments! By the way, that female singer you have on your rock opera sounds a lot like Alison Krauss. Beautiful voice.
Thanks so much! I would love to have a 5 string Serek one day. Those Midwesterns are killer!
0:43 somebody said it's sexy --->>>> REVIEW COMPLETE!!!
great vid

Where can I hear the rock opera? I'm jealous of the bass, but I'm more jealous that you're participating in such a cool project with other great musicians.
Thank you! Deep Love is such a unique and cool show and I hope more people can experience it. Check out the website here: www.deeploveopera.com/
What an awesome sounding and looking bass! I have always been a quantity over quality kind of guy when it comes to basses but that one sure covers a lot of ground by itself. This video may end up costing me a lot of money someday?? BTW, I just subscribed to your channel after seeing you pop up lately in Jonny Dibble's podcast and last night's 4 way livestream with you, Lobster, Dibble, and Bully. That was really fun! You guys should make sure you do more of those in the near future. Looks like you have a lot of great stuff on your channel too that I need to catch up on.
The stream was so much fun! Glad to have you here and I hope you enjoy the videos!
Such a nice bass. Especially love how you got that upright sound. What strings are using? Have you tried flats on it?
i appreciated the pirate joke in the description
that shit is nice
I literally said the same thing when I received my Serek in 2019: The only problem now is that I want another one! Fortunately, I now have another Serek on order!
This is the way.
Gibson Ripper vibe to it
Beautiful bass! Is that the aged cherry of fiesta red? I seriously considering one.
Thank you! This is a custom color so I’m not sure what exactly to call it.
To all you haters sounds like Mr. AMP has definitely improved his attack huh. 😂
I'm curious why you decided to go full scale on it, rather than going with Serek's usual style of producing mainly short scale basses. What went into your decision there? Also, are the pickups on it identical? Interesting that position alone would create a substantial tonal difference, if so.
It’s funny that Serek has become known for making short scales because Jake himself has said he never really set out to be a maker of short scales. I just went for the standard scale length, but I think I get another one I’d want to try out the 32” Midwestern 2 five string that he’s doing so much of lately.
And yes, as far as I know the pickups are identical.
What a great demo! Which strings do you use with it?
DR Hi Beams are what it shipped with, and that’s what I’ve kept on there. Surprisingly, I’ve not had to do a single adjustment to anything, even after two winters and a string change. It’s an extremely stable bass.
@@ampthebassplayer Great, thanks!
What pickup combo would get you closest to an acoustic bass kinda tone?
Lol
What made you chose serek over other custom bass builders and did you try one before you got this one?
My fascination first began with just loving the look. Sereks have that combo of classic and unique that it is really hard to nail. While I didn’t get to try one before ordering, I was pretty confident I would love the sound based on Hondo Felder’s excellent demo.
Dude, what is the song at 4:10
It’s a song called Heaven Help Me from the rock opera that I do every year: open.spotify.com/track/1zevNDAuxT3g4EgZxpqEzX?si=2ko-zzP2SxSvsX5qwDg7Zg
