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!

    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

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.
