Prime_BASS Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Think I remember a topic a while ago! Any who I just saw these in some guitar world special buyers guide. Look very nice. Musicman style Pickups Classic styling And one has a reverse headstock which is something I've been gassing for for ages. Anyone have any experience, where to buy?

BigRedX Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 [url="http://www.vintageandmodernguitars.co.uk/"]Vintage & Modern Guitars[/url] appear to be the only UK retailer. According to their website they have lots of guitars and a single [url="http://www.reverendguitars.com/reverend/images/guitars/bass_series/hi_res/justice_cb_lg.jpg"]Justice Bass in Chronic Blue[/url] in stock.

BigRedX Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I think you'll find that Reverend came up with the headstock shape first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillbilly deluxe Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 So,it's still the same shape,and im guessing that the designer ? was the same or,the same bought in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillbilly deluxe Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) Possibly and made in Korea. Edited August 20, 2011 by hillbilly deluxe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Jamin Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 (edited) Well I haven't tried the basses, but the current guitarist and the previous guitarist in our band BOTH use Reverends - the Double Agent II and Warhawk II respectively and they're absolutely amazing guitars. The build quality is exceptional, the neck's play themselves and the sound is ace. You'd normally expect to pay a LOT more than £500ish for something of similar quality. So I can vouch for Reverend's general quality as a company - I imagine the basses are fantastic. Edited August 20, 2011 by Ben Jamin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end though it's hardly an original headstock shape is it? Just the Fender one (who nicked it off Martin) with a second "crest".

Doddy Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 I'm bummed that they don't still make the Rumblefish or the Brad Houser model anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 If a Brad Houser sig comes up fro sale from someone prepared to ship it the UK you'll be fighting me for it :-) However if I was successful, my Rumblefish 5L would be up for sale.

KevB Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 I think that Justice bass looks a bit 'Woolworths' TBH but each to their own... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
