Reverend justice bass

Not much about these online, maybe that's a sign, but love the look of them. Does anyone here have one? If so what are they like?

I've never tried one, but they have a kind of Ibanez Talman look about them. They look as if they'd be bad for neck dive!

It's a Jazz.

How do you figure that? The top strap button is beyond the 12th fret, usually that bodes well for balance.

It's a jazz and they're sexy as hell. Just wondered why there's not much mention of them, hardly any appear on the second hand market either!

I played one in Glasgow, loved it. Light and nice neck if memory serves. Been looking for a secondhand model ever since! I was in looking at precisions and the guy in the shop insisted I try them!

Thankfully my sister lives up in Edinburgh so next time I go visit I'm most certainly make a trip to try one of them out. Good thing I'd be driving up too, wouldn't fancy taking a brand new bass on the plane!

I used to have a Reverend Brad Houser in bug eye chrome. It has no bearing on this topic but hearing the name Reverend made me remember and it was a cool memory.

And IMO part of the problem with the lack of popularity of the current bass range is down to how unique and desirable the original Rumblefish basses were.

I've seen the rumblefish and it looks like it was designed by a Nickledeon artist, much prefer the newer jag style to them all.
