Reverend Dub King

[Nocturnal]

I like the looks of the Meshell model. Wish I could try one of those out.

[Dave W]

I have a Reverend Brad Houser, fine bass, never had any issues with it, one of the few basses where I can't remember ever adjusting the neck. Has an authoritative sound. Sorry for the crappy pic.

I heard a Reverend Brad Houser played at a jam once. It sounded great.

[Granny Gremlin]

There's something very 50's about that Reverend series.

It's the Dano styling (in terms of top/side finish) and geometric pickguard that do it methinks.

[uwe]

Yeah, they look very Dano, but don't feel as cheap when played. That's not knocking Longhorns, they sound nice, just feel like toys.

they will also make a sig for Mike Watt. i saw the prototype at the NAMM, but I bleieve he's not happy with it yet.

What's the prototype like? Short scale like he now prefers?

[slinkp]

They've been working on that for a couple years, looks like.
From three years ago: http://forum.reverendguitars.com/prototype-for-mike-watt_topic10979.html
And yes, the prototype back then was a shorty.

[Granny Gremlin]

Now that I like... just not so hot about the P in a larger chassis reminiscant of MM pup.  ... Could use more offset geometry and a deeper treble side cutaway.

[Dave W]

Wow, that thread was started over three years ago. At least they say it's still in the works.

If it had more offset geometry, then it wouldn't be the SG/EB style Watt has liked in recent years.

[slinkp]

This is apparently a second stage prototype:



.... but it's still not the final version

[gearHed289]

I like the previous stage better, except for that ugly pickup. I could deal with a regualr P, but not that MM hybrid. Given a choice, I would put a modern TB+ with mudbucker cover on there.

[Granny Gremlin]

It already isn't though.

[uwe]

No one notices the Ripper/G-3/Grabber influence of the cutaway look here?

[Granny Gremlin]

You mean the Watt Sig? Totally.

[slinkp]

I didn't, but now I always will
