It would be great in all yellow or brown too.

Radical! Reverend makes some fun basses for sure.

Anyone now the weight on these?

Those "Brick" pickups are really pretty bright and aggressive eh?

I really like that bass.
The 30" scale is probably a deal killer for me.
I could maybe live with 32, but, maybe not.

The Reverend spec page doesn't list weight.
I'd be surprised if it weren't right around 6.5lbs.....

Yeah fo sho. If I had the heat I'd have a 5 too. I like what they're doing.

I don't have a scale. My guess is 5-6 pounds.

They can do hot warm cold. If you're used to humbuckers then maybe not a big shift for you but I'm coming from single coils. These have the presence of an active p/j. I dig it.
I was turned off by the short scale too but after accepting it and a few practice sessions it's not an issue. Worth the price of lightweight.
I left the flats on btw.

I've had a Reverend Decision in the house for a while, so, I get the Brick pickups, they're cool. Much brighter than any humbuckers I've had.
Like you, I come from a single coil preference place.

I recall. That reverend thread informed /affected my decision. A lot of sick basses up in there.

[Chef]

The BassGearMagazine review will be in the next issue, I think.

Cool cool. Looking firward to it. The fender site gives me gas but reverend--make me want to steal. I'm very happy to come across this brand.
