Thanks for comments. On my quick go in the shop - the neck pick up and neck and middle were really impressive- but back then I was after a p bass for the music I was doing. Just can’t decide between korina or periwinkle.
-
Could be - it’s not as if I need anymore Triad GAS 😂
-
How are you finding it after having it for a while? How's the neck and what positions are you using most - I went to Glasgow especially to play a Decision P but it was the Triad that most impressed me (the Dub King had sold out) - I bought the reverend Dub King later but having to sell as it's just a tad too small after playing 34inch - it was a toss up between that and the Triad - I really like both the Korina burst and Periwinkle (cant decide) - the Dub King in natural (looks amazing wish it was 34in) has made me a Reverend fan - really great quality basses.

I really wanted to keep this, but it's too small for my fat fingers and imprecise fingering - look at it, it's one of the most purdy looking basses i've ever had The bass end you can get out of this is huge - i could feel it vibrating my legs at rehearsal, the drummer was very impressed - great for palm muting due to comfortable bridge, Macca stuff all day. Jamerson too. Not so good if you're a Jaco head (maybe if you had zingy rounds on it), which I'm not. But loads of old school mojo but modern touches - if this was 34 inch then it'd be perfect. Very lightweight approx 7lbs, with nice glassy neck, very very comfortable to play, zero frets sticking out, balances on a strap great. Noiseless pups, which are responsive with a great blend knob. 42mm nut width, Brand new La Bella LFTs on it - and the very nice rounds it came with in bag. Comes with deluxe padded Fender bag - which is worth it for the carrying handle alone, very nice - will be getting another of these for next bass. Comes with case candy, inspection list, and all that good stuff.

This bass will easily become their go to bass. Final Price rock bottom - Priced to sell, no offers please, losing cash on it as is, Reverend make a 34 inch version of this with the Triad neck please! Pick up in Clitheroe or can meet up to an hours drive or UK posted will be very well packaged -
Yes it's a keeper for a back up - very big output like the SX - had to turn the amp down- so down the line probably going to throw in the Colbalt P bass pups from Fender - as have them on my jazz as they sound amazing, then will have similar output hopefully. The treble side of the stock pups is good - the bass side was good and meaty but they feel a bit unbalanced, tho only had a bit of time to dial it in - compared to silly expensive colbalts - but for stock on their own, they are fine. Playing wise, really good experience , so light didnt feel it at all, balanced on strap and that neck is great - impressive as was the SX, but this has a much better neck and bridge. Great for a back up or could be amazing with good pups, will be using this bass.

The GAS is real 😂😂😂 -
I was looking at the Ibanez too - but it’s the looks and I know that reverend necks are solid that swung me. Just wish it was 34inch then it’d be perfect because the tone with the pickup blend just towards the neck is superb - real fat bottom end but with clarity instead of muddy but still has woody vibes
-
Just got mine - out of the box really good set up - i still think this is like an upgraded SX with the roasted neck (very nice) not sure if you own an SX that for the extra nearly £170 it's worth the extra, the SX has a glassy gloss but feels same shape, they both feel very similar in weight and shape. The Jet has brass saddles too, but as a back up to my CIJ Jazz - it's very nice - easy to play - bit of neck dive sat down but lovely and light - all it really wins over the SX for me is the colour - the finish is great and the feel of the neck - like the SX i cant feel the frets, so maybe it's how Jonny Dibble plays it but nut is sharp (see his review here) nothing a bit of slight filing wont sort - i really should keep the SX and have maybe some tapes on it but I'm not one for having basses sat about not earning their keep - but in conclusion on the Jet hype train - will rehearse it tomorrow
-
Mines coming tomorrow- got some extra La Bella LFTs for it- just wondering how much different it’ll be than the SX I already have - except for the roasted body and neck. Will get chance to rehearse it Tuesday
-
Yes - quality stuff - definitely not my last Reverend - just full scale
-
Just ordered the P - hopefully good backup to my J and alternative to that on some songs - it says 1.5 nut radius which if true was exactly what i was looking for a P with a J neck
-
I’ll take your word for it - and from your review sounds like a good back up
-
Saw the review on Johnny Dibble's Youtube - and loved everything about this and wanted one until he and others mentioned feeling the frets - it's absolute deal breaker for me - i had an American Original Jazz that was amazing apart from the tall narrow frets which took my mind off playing - pity as this looks really nice for a back up - the SX P i have for sale has no pokey frets - still would like to try one at the price - the extra fret access at the heel makes them look like a Sire shape
-
So I bought another short scale bass, because well look at it -woof yeah, but i'm tall and big and it just feels that tad small for me - and it would've been perfect for my old Americana band, but not for what I'm currently doing, it was a toss up between this and the Triad. My band all said oooh at rehearsal. The bass end you can get out of this is huge - i could feel it vibrating my legs at rehearsal, the drummer was very impressed - great for palm muting due to comfortable bridge, Macca stuff all day. Jamerson too. Not so good if you're a Jaco head (maybe if you had zingy rounds on it), which I'm not. But loads of old school mojo but modern touches - if this was 34 inch then it'd be perfect.

Really well made, well done Reverend - just tad too small for me - when you know, you know - so would like to put the money towards the periwinkle Triad that keeps taunting me. This will easily become their go to bass. Priced to sell. Pick up in Clitheroe or can meet up to an hours drive - or £20 for P&P to UK mainland - will be very well packaged

Had chance to rehearse Dub King tonight. Didn’t spend a lot of time dailing in amp and pedals as quick rehearsal BUT yes it’s very dubby with fingers, very easy to play. I bought it mainly for palm muting with pic which it does very very well, I found best tones was 70/30 blend towards neck pup. I didn’t like the treble side so much - it felt reedy, with time spent EQing would be fine. It’s very light and balances well on a strap and the big body and hi-mass bridge meant it was comfortable but I did find that noodling on the sofa - the lack of contour was noticeable - gloss neck was nice and glassy not sticky it’s of no use to my current band - Echo & the Bunnymen tribute - but would’ve been spot on for last Americana band i was in - or doing Maccaesque 60s stuff as it’s like a cross between a violin bass and a Guild SF - Jamerson stuff in this would be fab, can’t see any Jaco fan liking this tho BUT I think this is the final nail in the coffin for me and short scales - I’ve had quite a few and as I’m quite big they feel just that tad too small. I can see me listing it and getting some other 34 inch. If I had another band to use it in then it’d be useful. I would definitely get another reverend - prob Triad
-
Haha I hear ya! Don’t want to gas you up but it’s not a lot of cash for certainly a lot of bass - if my flamenco guitar sells - I’ll be withdrawing this and keeping it 😎 -
i was looking at those but gone with La Bella LTF medium scale as i know i like those - but will definitely check them out at some point as hear good things about them
-
Woof what a looker - yeah nice bass. Can’t plug it in till Thursday but a short scale that doesn’t feel small - string spacing is key when you have King Charles sausage hands - 42mm nut width has feel of a violin bass. Also it’s light thankfully- just need some nice flats. I usually use TIs on long scale - but had the on a mustang and was too floppy - was thinking La Bella Mustangs - I’ve used them before but can’t remember if I liked them,but wondering what Pyramid golds are like and if you can string through - any recommendations? I don’t like them to stiff ..oh er.. or heavy
