Reverend Rumblefish R5L Final reduction, £695 £750 Bournemouth

[graham1945]

Final reduction, I have my eye on another bass - yes, it is final😁😁
 

Now a collectors' item, one of eigheen in sky blue. 35" scale with a firm B string. Signed by the founder Joe Naylor and made in his factory in USA.

Comfortable to play and balances on shoulder well. Condition is excellent, with no body marks as far as I can see, side strip aged in places.

Look up revfan.com for a mine of information.

Stats are:-

Passive Reverend jazz type pickups

Knobs are volume and tone with three way voicing switch (parrallel, single coil, series). 
The three way switch and control knobs are improvements on the originals. The silver grey original scratch plate is in the bag. (See photo of yours truly playing).

Dunlop strap locks, with matching leather strap.

Just over 4 kilos

I measure the nut width at 38mm and string spacing at bridge, a comfortable 17mm.

A real eyecatcher!!!

 

Collection from Bournemouth, but sensible meet up car parks an option.

Fabulous - unfortunately for me I don’t do 5ers or else I’d be all over this beauty.

GLWTS, although I’m sure you won’t need it!

I’ve been looking for one of these for years. Just when I’m broke this one shows up

38mm nut width? For a five string bass? Did you mean 48mm?

Sorry Terry, you're absolutely correct, there or thereabouts. Just had my cataracts done!!!

 

I have agreed a sale but the collection has been pretty delayed because of Christmas, etc. Hence not marked as sold yet.
