Reverend Basses Reappearing in January

[reverend1]

Reverend just made the upcoming line of basses public today so I thought I could share with the class. I'll post pics on Sat. When I get back from the Circle R Ranch.

See if they are working on that Hinson/Double Agent morph we asked for.

Ken did tell me that they are working on a straight Tele model with Pete Anderson. I'm not sure what else I'll find up there but I'll let everyone know on Saturday. If I'm not sworn to secrecy.

Available in sunburt or transparent orange if the rumours are true.

2 tone or 3 tone burst?

any other short scale basses?

[Kerouac]

Ooh.... orange would be killer.

Dunno if I'd like a short-scale though. I'm not particularly happy with any of my current bass sounds, so it might be something to consider.

what basses do you have now?

[Kerouac]

what basses do you have now?

Squier Vintahe Mod Jazz w/Flatwounds (I like this one best)
90's Alvarez (plays amazingly but is pretty dam bright)
90's BC Rich Warlock (currently on loan to a friend)
80's BC Rich Warlock w/ Khaler trem (sounds alright, plays alright... was a gift from my brother-in-law)

[Help!I'maRock!]

you could probably use a different pot value on the Alvarez to cut the brightness. give back that 90s BC Rich though.

You mean the 80's BC Rich? The 90's one is on loan TO a friend. It's from my high school metal band days and had 24 frets for my bass solo.

Alvarez was my first bass so there are a lot of scars and memories on that one. A new set of pups and pots would probably be a great idea. It has reverse P/J configuration.

Oh and I forgot about my Ibanez 5-string... Luigi's been using that on his album and so has Aaron.

I want a bass tone somewhere between these two songs:





I think the flatwounds were a step in the right direction for the bottom track, but I've always been really picky about bass tones.

[Help!I'maRock!]

no, i meant the 90s BC Rich. let him keep it as long as he likes. offer to let him buy it from you. cheap.

you might actually like a Precision.

[Kerouac]

Hate to admit it, but I've never owned one. I was looking at them for awhile though and was furiously checking HC and CL for a LPB one...

i prefer them over just about every other bass.

The thing with a P-Bass is that even a cheap one will sound good. With the P/J pickup configuration it's also hard to lose...

i hate the P/J configuration. all it does is introduce hum and high end. neither of which a bass needs.

I don't seen to have that issue, and mine is a pretty cheap bass

Which is probably part of the issue in my basses.

The SX P at LMA is pretty damn good. Aaron bought a Lakland and after they'd both been set-up and we thoroughly played them we noticed a difference in the feel and a small improvement in the tone but not big enough of a difference to be worth $2k more, in our minds at least.

[Help!I'maRock!]

still thinking about this short scale Club King. which is good. means my interest is peaked. i hope it doesn't suck.

If it's as good as my Reverend's I'm sold.

[Help!I'maRock!]

it's just a matter of cost, really. how much do i want to spend on an instrument that really isn't going to get a lot of play? $500? $800? or should i continue looking for that dano for $250?

I imagine they'll be in the $600 range, higher with case like from Elderly.

see, i'm thinking they'll be $700-$800. which means a bit of waiting and buying used for me.

From what I am told there will be two short scale models and two standard models. There will be a hollow body (club king) offered in both scale lengths. I would guess they will be in the 600-800 range as well.

Oh shit, I dunno about standard or short scale. Any chance of metallic blue and maple necks?

Do you know what the other model looks like?

[Peeker]

I loves my Peavey FuryV 5str.

I've owned a Precision, and liked it a lot.

owned a few Rich basses, wasn't crazy on most.
(disliked the necks)

always liked those Ibanez Soundgear(?) ones...nice necks.

plan to get a Rickenbacker 4003 eventually.

maybe pick up another Precision, too...


the Haagstrom 8str is nifty, but not for all-the-time-use.

[reverend1]

Maple necks -yes

Metallic blue- no idea

[Help!I'maRock!]

I'll post pics on Sat.

[reverend1]

Yes, yes I know. Give me some time here.
