Serek Basses / Upholstered Armitage Bass Demo [THE COUCH BASS}
Let's dispel the myth that your furniture can't also make some music!
This has been a dream bass for a LONG time. I present to thee, quite possibly the first ever, UPHOLSTERED BASS GUITAR. This is not your grandma’s couch cushion…
First came the vintage fabrics, courtesy of local artisan and collector Jubilee Street. Next, to find a willing upholsterer… Chicago Upholstery and Drapery in Evanston was more than willing to take us on, and what a job they have done. Get a load of that piping! And the edges of the body even have a slight plushy cushion to them!
First thing everyone wants to know is how the upholstery affects the tone. I could make some cringey pun and tell you it has a wonderful, PILLOWY tone, but really, this bass sounds exactly as it should. Loaded with a Curtis Novak BiSonic and strung with Dunlop flats, it will take you to P-bass heaven and beyond. And the best part is, you can ditch your fancy polishing cloth and guitar spray: all this bass needs to stay clean is your favorite lint roller!

Serek Basses / Lincoln Bass Demo / Alembic vs Lusithand Filter Preamp Shoot Out

I have been a fan of the Alembic sound for a long, long time. We have used Alembic electronics in our Metropolis basses in the past, so why not try 'em in the Lincoln as well? We also recently became hip to Lusithand Devices who make a similar Alembic/Wal inspired bass filter preamp. A perfect opportunity for some experimentation!

All the Basses is a project dedicated to showcasing some of the perhaps lesser known basses of years gone by.

Low Impedance Pickups is the name of the game here! Les Paul was very forward-thinking when it came to guitar electronics and the ...

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.
MELTING
It seems to me that 4002 model has "browny" finish, black binding (peghead included) with checker board binding on the body and also an extra XLR output. This green one seems to be an experimental model? i.pinimg.com/originals/b7/cd/b0/b7cdb094d73ebc11de86ad76c746145c.jpg
The 4000 reminds me of 4004. But, with the 4004, it has the neck pickup and a selection switch with 2 knobs!
Omg the neck pickup solo'ed....wow
How about a shootout with one of your basses?
Love it! we you £200 ? 😁
Should be called 💩 box Not a fan
Sounds like a Ric neck pickup to me, very interesting
I dig the bass and the tones!
I love that band, and I love Midwestern basses
When Bass and Treble are at Zero, they short to ground, classic FMV passive tonestack. Thats why Mids becomes Volume, its the only circuit path thru the EQ tonestack that doesn't short to ground ✊👍
Nice side by side! I run the Underground Accelerator and use it when I need a bit of that tube overdrive sound. It really can run the gamut from warm to DRIVEN, and yes, it takes a bit to truly dial it in to a sound you one because of all the options available. Nice job!
Was it just me or was the lower end of the demo sounding like a not greatly tracking octave type sound? I was listening through headphones, albeit Bluetooth, but I’ve not had that issue before.
Absolutely brilliant!!
That’s gonna be one smelly bass after a while
What cap and pots do you recommend for bs-1?
***[SUPER CUSTOM]*** Serek Lincoln Bass / 34″ Scale / Alembic Activator / Roasted Ash & Maple proud owner of this beauty ! I can't wait to get it. Thank you SEREK !!!!
Thanks for keeping this video up for so long so that I was able to find it! I have an EB 450, which is the longscale vesion, but otherwise it's the same. My 450 is the first bass that I bought, and I've owned it since 1983. My bass is a 1972 year model, and I'll never sell it as long as I can move my fingers; I love it still and play it just about every day. As @jimothy states below, my bass is also a bit weak on the e-string lower frequencies, but that's fine by me, since I am a Peter Hook influenced player, and this bass is very sweet sounding up high and in the mids. Frets 5 to 10 on the A, D, and G string still sound like heaven to me.
Lusithand filter is great. But youll need a high pass filter afterwards to control the sub 50kh boom
Superb looking and sounding bass (comfy looking too)!! Nice playing also. I wondered if the bridge would make good contact with the body with the fabric in between, but that doesn't seem to be an issue.
Theese basses are some of the worst looking. Cnc basses I've ever seen. And the price! Give me a break! Nobody keeps them because they're crap. Theyre always for sale on the second hand market
I love mine, and I'm not selling it. Have you played one or are you just taking the piss?
There have been less than 15 of them on reverb at any one given time in the last 6 months so, I’m gonna call BS lmfao
Fabulous! I'd only worry about getting it dirty and full of sweaty nastiness over the years with no way to deep clean
I think it looks awesome. I'm always drawn to unique looking basses though. This would absolutely be attention grabbing at a live show.
I would include 2 pillows with same upholstery with each bass.
❤🤘🏽
Love it. Unique and cozy
Ottoman Armitage
Thanks! I’m sure many Grandmothers will love it. 🤣😁🎻✌️🙂😎
hey don't underestimate those bass playing g-mas!
@@serekbasses 😁 True, unless they place it in the formal living room.
A very nice sounding bass.
did you try it in patrellel...
Killer tone. Great demo!
How can I get one?
The 4000 definitely has more presence than the 4001: it's louder and has more bottom end. Of course, the 4001 in middle position gives you options the 4000 can't match. Thanks for the great vid!
Serek thinks differently. I like that.
Hey. You got my Les Paul recording bass on your wall ! OK, you can use it for a while - but I want it back when you're done. You're a very good player Mr. Serek.
I love Mt.Joy and love Serek…can’t believe I found this episode 😂😍
There isn't a bad tone on that bass.
Curious how the B-string sounds with a short scale, passive pickup in neck position, and flats. Seems to go against the “wisdom” of some bass players: 35”+ scale, bridge pickup, and rounds just to get the string to register in a mix.
I have a 32” Lincoln with the singles, it is my favorite bass.
Met Dev before he’s such a nice guy and a fantastic bass player
I had one of these!!! Wish I had not sold it!
