Brad;
Have Joe write you a letter of provinence, and keep it in the case with you. I can't swear to this, but I doubt that the Reverends were Brazilian unless you had yours specifically spec'd that way.

If you do get a Declaration of Provenance to make border crossings easier, I'd love to have a copy of it to keep with my BH5; it would save me having to bug somebody at Reverend for one if I ever need to travel with or ship it.

Eighty if you count this one. No decals or serial numbers, though.

Last thread I could find on these was dated 2009, so,
just a new one to show support for a rare, cool bass. Only 79 were made.

I've had three of these, and they're neat, and unique.
Semi hollow body, mahogany core with a steel sustain bar in the middle of that.
Double J pups, coil tap for each one that give you single coil, dual parallel, dual series.

Big fat, supportive, organic tone.

this is the best BH5 I've ever played. Mercalli neck on BH body. I had originally wanted the bass to be 34" scale, we went with 35 because everybody was doing it back then. I never much liked 35. had to move the bridge forward about 1/4" to get it to into ate. it's amazing, the B string is actually better now than it was with the 35" neck. strung with DR flats. it's amazingly punchy and balanced.

WOW!

:eek:

You gonna help me clean the beer off my keyboard? I have to say, that blocked neck makes it something fierce!

Bump up!
Just wanted to ask you BH5 players who use roundwound stainless strings: which ones do you like?
The DR HiBeams on mine are about done; or, at least, have been on there a long time.
I was thinking about trying some Sadowsky Blue Steel, as I love those on everything else...
