Recent purchase forces me to sell this early version Reverend Mercalli 5 ( circa 2010? ). You do not see many Mercalli’s in this color. Only two real flaws are by the output jack and on the back of the neck, both not seen while playing ( I bought it this way ). The spot by the output jack was painted, then filled with GlueBoost, sanded and polished; it is not perfect but it is better than it was before and is now protected. The neck had a spot where the clear coat chipped off ( how, I do not know ), I filled that with GlueBoost, sanded and polished. If you close your eyes and run your hand over the spot, you’ll probably not even feel it. Other than that the bass looks great and sounds even better. I bought a beautiful new pickgaurd for it, I also have the original white which will be included. Bass will be shipped in padded case and insured. Price is shipped.
