DDR Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) Hello Ā It has come to my attention that NBs need Declaring so here it goes š Ā Iāve been considering getting a Reverend Decision P for a while, I tried to find one to try it first but couldnāt make it work, I researched youtube and the internet in general for info but there wasnāt so much and then last week, i jumped. Itās not the right thing to do (buying without trying) but I must say this time it worked out for me. Ā My midnight blackĀ Reverend Decision P arrived today and Iāve been playing it all day. Love the thing. The way it feels, the sounds you can get out of it, the weight and yes also the way it looks.Ā Ā I will probably change the strings to flatwounds but in the meantime hereās a little vid and a photo for happiness Ā Hope everyone is well Ā DDR NBD.mov Edited January 20 by DDR 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jd56hawk Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Another cool Reverend bass...retro looks put in a different league than so many typical FSO basses. (I'm replacing the DR strings on my Thundergun with GHS black tapewounds, had them on a Thundergun years ago...perfect match.) Ā 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vin Venal Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Looks amazing, always liked the reverend designs. Like, classic and vintage styled, but still very distinct, and not just another p/j copy or whatever. Ā How heavy is it? For some reason, they look substantial. Never actually tried one, but in my head they're heavy. Lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't got scales but I read 3.4 kg somewhereĀ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jd56hawk Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Yes, my Thundergun is 7.5 lbs, around the same weight. Korina...most are fairly lightweight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sPiKi Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 New colour way for NAMM. Ā Ā 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 There's just something about black and gold.Ā Wish they'd gone all the way and had gold hardware too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sPiKi Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Disappointing that there doesn't appear to be any new bass stuff other than this and a couple of other colours late last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassApprentice Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 It does look very good on the stand...but gold hardware would have been really cool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBass Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) Agree on the gold hardware. Ā Mercahnt City Music have this on pre order, but for Ā£999, as opposed to Ā£879 for the usual Decision P. Ā Ā£120 extra for a gold pick guard! Ā Unless there are some other 'upgrades' to it that I haven't noticed. Ā Edit: Sweetwiter are selling this new Decision P at the same price as the other Decision Ps. Ā It looks like whoever does Merchant City Music's website has got the entry for this bass mixed up with a guitar costing Ā£999.

DDR Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 you know I was checking this and I think the Reverend basses have simply gone up. In Europe they are priced at 1300 euros. When I was buying mine I was notified the prices would be going up soon. Ā I was disappointed with the colour selection, i was annoyed the only rosewood fretboard one was that purple model with the white pickguard but now that I own the midnight black I am really really happy. Itās a real beauty Ā Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
