*SOLD* Reverend Rumblefish 5L (USA) £850 £980 Pilsen, Czech Republic

[sterling_76]

I am selling my 35" basses. One of these is the Reverend Rumblefish 5L; manufactured in USA between 1999-2006 , discontinued.

More info on these basses: http://www.revfan.com/reverend-bass.html

Specs:

Black phenolic top and back
Maple Neck
Rosewood Fretboard
Pearl Dot Inlay
35" Scale
17mm String spacing
21 Frets
3 Ply White Pickguard (w/b/w)
Chrome Hardware
Sealed Tuners
High Mass Bridge
Volume & Tone Controls
Series / Neck Pickup / Parallel - Selector Switch
2 Reverend Design J Bass Pickups

As far as I can judge, all parts are original. Overall in a good shape. There is some discoloration and there are microcracks appearing in the white plastic side, I tried to capture these on the photos. Currently strung with Elixir nickel round wound 0045 strings.

Killer B string, well articulated sound, all strings balanced, nice sustain.

I am located in Czech Republic, Pilsen. I can add an older softcase (see the last two photos) that should protect the bass better than the Fender gigbag on the pictures. Shipping to UK is already included. Thanks 🙂

Dobrý den (that's about all the Czech I know I'm afraid).

I've always wanted one of these but I don't think the finances will allow it  

Best of luck with the sale

I never thought I'd sell this one. However, my wrist started to hurt after playing 35" basses for several years. I had to sold two 35" five string Laklands for the same reason, both bought at this forum BTW 🙂

How much does it weigh? 

I'm tossing up whether I should sell the Jackson David Ellefson Kelly Bird V I've just bought to fund this. Knowing the weight may help

Shows 4.0-4.1 kg on my bathroom scales.

Which is consistent with what the endorsement web (http://www.revfan.com/reverend-bass.html) says, i.e. 9 lbs
