I don't usually post about my bass purchases, but I LOVE THIS BASS!
Never had a PJ bass before;I'd been wanting one for quite a while....this one, to be exact...
And now, thanks to JxBass, I've got one...
After 5 shows this week, all played on the Decision, I can say with confidence that it's well on its way to being my new #1!

I've wanted one of these for a while now. How are the pickups? Hardware? Weight?

I only have an old-school bathroom scale, so the weight wouldn't be accurate; I will tell you that, just like my Mercalli, it seems the weight is a pound or two lighter than everything else I play--I guess Korina is a lighter wood.
They use Hipshot tuners, but everything else seems to be in-house--and high-quality.
One thing I really like about both Reverends is that the response is very even across and up the neck.

Super interested. I wonder if they've ever considered a preamp on one of their basses.

There's so much tonal variety available, I don't know how much that would even improve it.
I played through several different brands and sizes of amps this week, and was totally happy with the sound I was able to get from the pickup combination and tone control...and I figure that it'll only get better as I use it more.
After years of mostly active basses, I've definitely headed in the opposite direction; to be honest, I found most preamps convenient to have onboard, but the treble in particular always bugged me out--sort of brittle.

(The one exception--among basses I've owned anyway--is the G&L preamp, which, once I learned not to dime either of the tone controls--much less the volume!-- gave me just what I wanted to hear.)

Good and interesting observations. I'm deep in active preamps right now, but I started playing my parts P passive last week after not doing that for a long time and really liked the tones I was getting.
