Reverend Basses

[pisces_bass]

FWIW, all of the standard scale (34”) Reverend basses have the same neck profile. Not too chunky but not super slim, either.

I wasn't going to buy another bass, but couldn't resist a Mercalli 4 in metallic alpine green. It's flawlessly built, light on the shoulder, and sounds massive.

I wanted to love the one I tried, but found the body shape uncomfortable when seated. Great on a strap though.

Well built and great sounding basses overall

Rumblefish #12 y’all. The best!

 

[Windowliquor]

I’ve got the Wattplower II and the Linhbacker short scales. Love em.

At one time and early on when they first came out I had 6 Rumblefish. They were great basses. I should have never sold the 4 I did. Two were the only made in their colors. They go for lots of money now. I didn't take a beating at all but could have made more. Anyway I still have two. I don't use them but I'm glad I kept them. They are really nice playing and sounding basses.

[Danny O Danny]

They're really good basses. I used to have a Mercalli and a Thundergun.

They have great components.
I’ve had two.
One was an original MIA I should have NEVER let go
The other was a decision P , and had to have it plecked , the nut replaced etc..


This was right after Covid let up , so maybe it sat on a boat, or ?

after that it was great.

I let it go as well

I would buy another

I live in NW Ohio,hte local shops i frequent are dealers. I frickin' love them..Except for the neck profile, its a bit too much for me. All things considered, aside from the neck, I could see myself owning 2 0r 3 0f them...
I used to own Mercalli 4 in blonde, light weight and the ergonomics hang proper with a strap....

I would say so, they were backed up in transit. The local dealer was out for 6 months..

Someday I'll have a Houser.

I gassed over a decision for a long time. I eventually snagged a mulberry mist decision. The neck just didn't agree with me all. I'm a 1 1/2 nut kind of guy. Wasn't super impressed with the build quality on it either. Had quite a few rattle issues out of the gate, but easily fixed. Overall a pretty cool bass if that wider 12" radius neck is something you like

 

[Mustang Surly]

I'm also "an inch-and-a-half" nut guy, but I put up with the Dub King neck because I like the sound.

 

[Clark Westfield]

I have an Anniversary Decision P and it has become my main gigging instrument.

Plays amazing and sound great; always have somebody ask me

what it is.

Very happy with mine.

They’re great. I don’t like the string spacing on their fivers, but I could make an exception for an old rumblefish 5.

another thing to consider: they are some good deals to be found 2nd hand.

 

[5StringBlues]

the originals of those are mega rare. they have the same pickup setup and switching system as a fender roscoe beck, which love. good luck in your quest. l hope to find one too!

Someday I'll have a Houser.

 

[rooster]

Reverend has been my main bass for the past 3 years of steady gigging...Fatfish 32.

 

[selowitch]

I had a Reverend Triad Bass that I liked a lot.

 

[MartialDylan]

All Reverend 4-string basses have 1 5/8” width necks. They look like quality in person.
