That looks like something Mike would play. Gibson influenced body, Fender influenced electronics, short scale.

I like it too! The combi of body and pickup is nice. It also reminds me a bit of the Burns Nu Sonic Bass. It is reissued too and short scale:

It has a simple, classy look to it.

Reverend has taken a few style cues from Gibson. How about their Thundergun?

Raised center section on the korina body and 5 piece set korina neck with walnut stringers. The shape doesn't appeal to me though. Watt's model has a nice SG look. Would be cool if it was a set neck and korina as well
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Would be cool if it's reasonably priced. Reverends are MIK.

I like that Thundergun.  It stays with Reverend's general styling but adds some nice (Fender) touches like the reversed headstock and P/J pickups, plus a raised center section (Gibson) touch as well.

Reverend has carved out a small market by not being just another clone maker.
