Thoughts on more short scale Armitage basses??
Available now! Quite possibly the last truly MADE IN CHICAGO Serek Bass! Whoa...
Don`t forget! The Armitage is configurable now! Once the dust settles from the move, I`ll get some more slots open. Maybe... 5-strings...??
Short scale gig bags are back in stock and come in 2 new colors including this here Copperhead Orange!
LONG POST ALERT: I don`t necessarily have all the words put together for this news, so off with the band-aid: I am moving! DON`T WORRY SEREK BASSES IS COMING WITH ME.
After spending essentially my whole life in Chicago, it is time for a new adventure. My wife and I are huge nature-lovers and have been craving a different environment for quite some time. We have settled on Brevard, North Carolina just outside of Asheville. In the 2nd picture you will see the building that will eventually be my new shop.
There is too much to be thankful for and too many people to thank for making Serek Basses what it has become. Chicago has been good to us too, but I am just fricken` pumped for the next chapter of creativity and adventure.
NOTE: All current orders should be moving forward in the time-frame intended, and I am keeping the order books open. That said, expect a little bit of downtime (hopefully just August/September) so please be patient with me during this transition.
I also want to direct your attention to @atticuslazenby and @lockhorn_inst who have both given so much to Serek Basses, and are now continuing on with their own endeavors. Watch out! I have some competition in these fools...
Last thing...be prepared for a lot more wildlife content. 🦇 🐻 🐦 🪲 🐍

Our shorty gig bags don`t only cradle our basses with tender, loving care. They will also hold on tight to your Mustang or Bronco and several other short scales!
Short scale gig bags are BACK IN STOCK!!! We have two new colors: River Rock Brown, and a LIMITED EDITION color: Copperhead Orange.
PSA: the short bag is a great fit for a F#nder Mustang, and the larger size will fit Rickenbacker 4000/1/3 basses very comfortably!
I always wanted an Orange Grabber... The Lincoln "L3" is now an option on our configurator! Leave it to none other than @curtis_novak_pickups to conjure up a faithful repro of these sorely underrated pickups.
Armitage order slots are NOW AVAILABLE!
I would also like to point out that the first round of MW, MW2, and LNC slots have been filled, but that we will be keeping orders open. Just note the new lead times for those models when ordering!
Happy Configurating!
Only 2 of these upholstered beauties left! Or as Sir @ianmartinallison so rightly named them: Armchair Armitages!
ONE SLOT LEFT. This batch of Midwestern slots is just about topped up. I have decided to keep the configurator live however, but note that lead times will be increasing once this batch is filled.
Midwestern 2 slots are still available, but filling up pretty fast! It`s been real fun to see how you all have been configuratin` yer basses!
