Speaking of Reverend... Thundergun anyone?

Anybody tried one? I like the look ... (yes I know, everybody hates the black-plastic-MM-shape-P-pickup)

Don't worry, Al, it will soon pass. We all know how cheap you profess to be.

That was mentioned in the Dub King thread. Good looking bass! Needs Thunderbuckers or something.

Alas, I am a teller of truth. Cheapness r'me.

Nice colour; nice neck (I love blocks); not feeling the rest of it. The Dub King is a bit appealing, but this is not speaking to me at all. IMHO having the raised middle TBird thing just seems asinine if it's not actually a neck thru.

The lean towards G detailing on this vs F on their bolt on series (all the same shape) is better, obviously.

I don't hate the look of the pickup. Not at all. Whatever this one sounds like, I'd rather see a rectangular P-style pickup housing than yet another split coil.

Not every soap bar is MM shape. And even the ones that look like a MM aren't necessarily anything like it tonally.

I've seen some pictures with reverse headstock and some without. I wonder if they do it both ways, or if they switched at some point.

I really like the EB-ish contour on the upper edge. Wish more designs did that, actually.

I have no MM hate, excepting all the low end import ones that were all the rage in the early 2000's that sound like crap, though I'd still prefer a big chrome boom 'bucker.

Me neither, I kind of want to get a Stingray some day ... all bass acquisitions are on hold however until / unless I ever figure out what the hell my custom job is going to be.

patman · May 29, 2015, 07:12:07 PM

Stingray is the punchiest bass I know of...I would love to have a fiver.

I'm suprised no one has mentioned the Meshell Ndegeocello signature model.

Highlander · May 30, 2015, 02:50:28 PM

There's a primary Reverend subject one or two down that caused this one to be raised where Jake mentioned this beastie...

I love that Gibsonesque color theme. Transparent cherry with b/w/b pickguard, bound fretboard with block inlays and black headstock overlay. Kinda like a Lakland Decade.

^^^That's a most tasteful trio!
