Revelation RPB 65? Anyone heard of or got one?

SLOW DOWN PEOPLE!!!

I met up with a fellow Bcer recently who was looking for a case for his. He was very happy with the bass, however they do NOT fit in a generic hard case. They are approx 10mm too long (basically that radiused bit on the headstock) - he'd tried a few - including an SKB molded case - still a no go. It does fit in the teardrop shaped SKB but there's a lot of movement.

Bear this in mind if you order one without their case.

Where is the OP based? I think quite a number of small independent stores stock Revelation gear (one or two in Bristol for sure) so it would be worth visiting and trying out.

Thanks Mick, but I use a gig bag so presumably it wouldn't be a problem (I hope).

Otherwise 5 minutes with a Junior hacksaw and it's sorted... ;)

Freestyle hardcase will fit

A weird shaped bass like my '83 Overwater is an awkward shape to find a case for, but Wunjo sorted it.  The Over is a loooooooong bass and it never fitted

in either of my other cases.

If it fits a vintage Overwater, it'll fit a Revvy

I do, I had one. A fair stab at a P Bass, I thought. Did me proud when I was 'between basses'.

Don't think these Revelations are equivalent, though. Maybe one or two of the Harley Bentons would make a better match.

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 👍

If you post a positive review I can imagine the people at Revelation being somewhat puzzled by a sudden spike in sales.

Or buy it for your missus, and then borrow it on a permanent basis...

That would be weird and cause massive suspicion. Best if it's a stealth purchase.

Was that the one in Gallaghers? Looked nice in the Fbk post yesterday. Do you mind me asking the price for one of those.

Oh yes. Charidee and Scrabble letter basses. Helium filled cabs, etc.

Maybe there should be a Hot or Not thread?

Who’s gonna be Glenda Slag?*
