Ooh, how do you like that Reverend? I want a 5 that can do the hot-rod P-bass thing. Invalid Link Removed but haven’t ruled out the Reverends.
I love the Reverend! It’s P-Bass is spectacular. The rear H doesn’t quite bite like I would like it to, but blended with the P it tightens things up beautifully.
That ESP looks pretty good! Not sure what model of EMG pickup is in there, but the hardware looks top notch!
I also play a Warwick streamer, which has MEC p/j pickups and an Aguilar OBP-2, and it makes the Reverend sound like a cuddly toy. The ‘wick is just pure aggression and violence compared to the Reverends warmth, balance and classic sensibilities!
Debating replacing my MIM jazz bass this summer. Reverend and Lakland are both high on the potentials list.
Reverend and Lakland Skylines are both awesome choices.
I would also chuck the G&l sb-2 onto that list if it were me- those things are so good.
OK bro - looks awesome, but now we need your initial impressions. Any sonic changes? Of course, louder but how bout the sound and are you having to change eq setttings, etc?
My only initial impression is that the 210 has more top end- like 4K and above.
More ‘air’ as the cork sniffers would say here on TB.
But the usable high mid and treble seems to be equivalent between the two.
In the next few days I will play both at ear level through my darkglass VD into the effects returns. That will give us the knowledge we crave!
It’s funny how, when you stack cabs, it feels like you are only hearing the top can.
I know the 250 ext cab has separate volume - adjusting it higher solve the problem?
No problem really, just the cab that is pointing at your ankles is tougher to hear than the one pointed at your ears.
They are Very well matched volume-wise.
Did your covers arrive? Did you order the ones off the link on Blackstars website? Pics?

Covers arrived yesterday! Hotcovers do a pretty mean padded cover IMO. Shipping to NZ was pretty quick too- just over one week.
I have the stack set up, so haven’t put it on yet- but will post pics after work today
So I just picked up my stack. Great first inpression of the 2x10, punchy, diggin the Modern 6L6 sound. But the ext cab was marked and crackled at volume (was unpacked) looks like im returning it tomorrow and ordering a new one. *sigh*
Schwing!
Sorry to hear about the crackle.
Hope they sort you quickly.
The 210 is amazing.
