I like it. And I also like this:

I think I like it. It's looks bit like a 70s catalogue bass, especially the headstock.

Looks like a Scott Whitely shortcake.

I think the Mike Watt one may look worse than the Orange O bass

Not overly fussed about the Meshell one either. When I saw her playing her first Reverend in London, it had two pickups and a non-reverse headstock. Changing features to fit into their line a little better?! Odd

Hmmmm ... I like it about as much as I like Meshell's playing style. Not much.

She's an awesome musician, and I'm sure this is an awesome bass, but it does nothing for me at all.

Bit quirky that - even for a Scott Whitley shortcake lover like me!

I love Watt, and I reckon this bass will sound pretty good, and those pickups are going to be nice for sure, but I'm not sure about the aesthetics either. The half Gibson half Precision thing is ok in theory, and the Pedro inlay is great, but maybe it's the colours and the matt finish that make it weird, and the guard does make it look like the Orange bass a bit.

[Rich]

Ugh. Just, no.

*dodgy photoshop alert*
i'm on my lunch break so only had a few minutes to knock this up but if they styled this bass to be a bit more 'gibson' and changed that guard it would look much better to me.

does anyone have a Reverend? what they're like, quality, feel wise?

[Romeo2]

I saw Mike Watt last night play this bass with his Il Sogno Del Marinaio project, and it sounded absolutely awesome through a mark bass rig.

But you won't be surpsrised when I tell it sounded 100% Watt - guess it's true what they say that it's all in the fingers

I was there too. Great gig.
