Duroc17 Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 (edited) So I bought another short scale bass, because well look at it -woof yeah, but i'm tall and big and it just feels that tad small for me - and it would've been perfect for my old Americana band, but not for what I'm currently doing, it was a toss up between this and the Triad. My band all said oooh at rehearsal. The bass end you can get out of this is huge - i could feel it vibrating my legs at rehearsal, the drummer was very impressed - great for palm muting due to comfortable bridge, Macca stuff all day. Jamerson too. Not so good if you're a Jaco head (maybe if you had zingy rounds on it), which I'm not. But loads of old school mojo but modern touches - if this was 34 inch then it'd be perfect. Lightweight, with nice glassy neck, very very comfortable to play, zero frets sticking out, balances on a strap great. Noiseless pups, which are responsive with a great blend knob. Brand new La Bella LFTs on it - and the rounds it came with in bag. Comes with deluxe padded Fender bag - which is worth it for the carrying handle alone, very nice - will be getting another of these for next bass. Comes with case candy, inspection list, and all that good stuff. Really well made, well done Reverend - just tad too small for me - when you know, you know - so would like to put the money towards the periwinkle Triad that keeps taunting me. This will easily become their go to bass. Priced to sell. Pick up in Clitheroe or can meet up to an hours drive - or £20 for P&P to UK mainland - will be very well packaged Edited September 20 by Duroc17 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petecarlton Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 Reverend's designs are just smashing it these days - I love the look of the Triad too. GLWTS - someone's going to get a great shortie with this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Hunt Posted Monday at 22:03 Share Posted Monday at 22:03 I love the pickup arrangement with the reverse p on one soap bar. I was looking at a Dub King when I ended up with an Ibanez AFB 200. I wanted the woof of a flat-wound short-scale, and the AFB200 seemed to max out the hollow-body volume. I usually use it with a Roland cube amp around a campfire when playing with other acoustic instruments. Has a bit of a standup sound. Still wonder, though, if the Dub King would have been a better instrument. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wish it was 34inch then it’d be perfect because the tone with the pickup blend just towards the neck is superb - real fat bottom end but with clarity instead of muddy but still has woody vibes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
