Description

Edit description

What can I say about the Grand? I could tell you that it’s probably the coolest short-scale bass we’ve built yet… I could mention the magic of the passive on-board Serek “Skuzz Serkit” and TV Jones Thunder’Blade pickup. Maybe you’d want to hear tales of roasted maple necks and racing stripes and Hipshot hardware? Or maybe you could just experience it for yourself…

Blast from the Badass Past - Premier Guitar

Serek's Grand bass delivers a delightful blend of retro aesthetics and modern playability, boasting a charming vintage-inspired design and a unique onboard fuzz circuit. Players will appreciate its comfortable short scale and big tonal presence, which rivals longer instruments. However, the absence of a traditional tone control limits sonic versatility, leaving some players wanting more control over their sound. Despite this drawback, the Grand shines with its impressive craftsmanship and sound quality, making it a worthy investment for those seeking a standout instrument that defies its size.
