Buy it 👍 The neck's should be proper P-bass wide but double check, a rogue batch got shipped with 38mm jazz necks. Not too light in weight, decent hardware and cracking set of pickups. The neck's quite slim in profile. Revelation is a UK company so that's another good reason for buying one 😁

Couple of folk have mentioned the Revelation RPBX. I'd planned on building a similar bass for ages but sometimes it's prudent just to buy one 😎

Mark's much talked about PB-50 arrived in Scotland this morning. Conversation went like this Mark - "Dave, I'm thinking of selling the PB. You interested ?" Me - " Give me 24 hrs to shift 22 stone of speakers." then "bank transfer or PP ? " As easy as that 😎 Cheers Mark,hope your next P-bass arrives soon.

TI's on the P-basses except for the one with Status tapes,was heartbroken when the tapes went out of production 😭

I bought a YOB bass,probably for the same reason as yourself "it's a YOB" 😃 Realised it's a bloody stupid idea 😃 Nobody really cares if you tell them. A newspaper from your D.O.B they can read but a bass built overseas by strangers ? Glad you posted,reminded me to dig mine out the back of the cupboard and punting it pronto 👍

I always think Fenders are like Levi jeans. At the start they were decent and dependable wear for working folk, got "must have,trendy brand" status, then kicked into touch by the designer jeans fad. Now still bought by folks who grew up qwearing them and youngsters being Retro 😃 I'm a Wrangler's man myself 😎

It was scratchplate and plectrum when I started playing , It shall remain scratchplate and plectrum until I'm dead 😉 I don't care if folk use other terms,I just wont change mine to make them happy. I also prefer machinehead to tuner though when talking with my old pal I may use tuning peg. He calls a headstock a peghead so not much I can do there 😁

Aye, regret selling it. Built one similar but of course its not the same 😐

That's odd,when I put mine up for grabs it sold in minutes 👍 Buyer already owned one so it was a no-brainer 🙂 Think it must've been one of the loudest basses I've ever had.

Cheers TC

You should have a word with Kev at Revelation,

Digi calipers read 42.17mm. Has some bugger swapped the neck ? Got the Wilkinson endowed jazz bass very late Sunday.After 2 year with no strings or tuners it took a few days to settle down.Mate has messed about with this Harley Benton something terrible but that's another story 😂 Great pickups those Wilkinsons,quite bright and quite loud. The volume surprised me,couple of year back I stuck Entwistle Neos in a Peavey Zodiac DE. A/B'd against my other Zodiac DE (stock Duncan Basslines) the Entwistles were easy twice the output 👍 I really shouldn't have been suprised,my mate Claudio's A/B with the Wiliknson SC vs Duncan SC showed the same low output from the Duncan. The double split-P Neos in the Revelation were a bit louder but not a huge amount,they were a bit brighter too. I'll need to look at pot/cap values as rolling off the tone was impressive,deep but not wooly. Had no bother swapping between the Harley Benton and the Rev, the 38mm Benton neck is quite thick whereas the 42mm Rev neck is quite slim. Good handful of wood with either 😱

Spelling was never my strong point.

I saw the photo and things were looking very cramped. Was no harm in trying 😎

Last Friday I had tickets for Cloudbursting at the Oran Mor in Glasgow,our own @sprocketflup performs the bass duties. Sadly my old mam had a stroke that afternoon so I missed the gig ☹️ Good news was Cloudbursting were back in Scotland the following week,playing our town hall 👍 Great evening and by christ Mandy can sing. Any folks here appreciate Kate Bush ? Well get your backsides along to see Cloudbursting. http://cloudbustingkatebushtribute.com/index.html

Cracking basses. Mine is still going strong at 30 years old.

It's a crap title but "It's a Revelation " was much worse 😉

I hold certain members of BC responsible for this latest NBD. Few year back there was a post on Revelation guitars and this eejit had a look at their site,always a dangerous move 🙂 The P-bass looked good,there's a cracking jazz model and there was the RPBX. Double split-P basses always catch my interest and when those split-Ps are Entwistle Neos I knew I was doomed. Kept strong for a couple of years then the RPB-65 post start of this week caused me to crack 🤬 Ordered the bass on Tuesday night,UK Mail dropped it off on Thursday morning. A tidy sunburst bass was in the box 🙂 My lightest T40 weighs 10.5lb,this weighs-in at 10lb so pretty decent weight-wise. Neck has a gloss finish and there's a nice bit of maple under there. Good fret work and the wide/slim profile is comfortable. Balances great. Controls are simple - 2 vol,1 tone. The basic BBOT has been placed perfectly 👍 Bass came strung with roundwound 😕 Not really a huge fan of RWs and when they're getting sent through Entwistle Neos it's too much for this fella 😄 Changing the pickup height along with adjustable pole pieces I'm sure I could fine tune . When you 22 sets of flats in the cupboard though why bother. First pack I grabbed were TIs 😎 I'll try and borrow a Harley Benton JB-75 with Wilkinsons over the weekend. See how Trev's pickups compare against Alan's.

The deed is done. Double PBXN jazz bass in sunburst/tort is on the way 🙂 Fateful excuse " I'll sell a couple to make room" along with "need to use those nectar points" was all it took. ETA sometime Thursday 👍
