A few months back, our good friends at Aguilar Amplification approached us for a promotional collaboration. They had just released their astounding DCB-P pickup, and asked us to build a special Midwestern bass around that pickup. Naturally, it had to be Capri Orange with Competition Stripes, right?! This bass is strung with Dunop Flats and will dole out thumpy P-bass tones all day.
The Midwestern is a short-scale powerhouse that is compact in size, but does not lack in tone. Think P-bass meets EB-0. The Midwestern is made up of a lightweight Mahogany body and a 30.5″ scale Mahogany set neck making it effortless to play, and easy to travel with. Inspired by vintage Midwest-bred designs, this is our simplest and most utilitarian offering. However, updated with modern hardware and electronics as well as effortless playability, you won’t believe this is just a humble short scale bass!
