The Reverend Club (Part 2)

[p0k]

I put some DR Marcus Miller on my 5L and tried them on my gig last night. They sounded great, but the tension was quite a bit looser than the sit's that came stock. I'll have to see if I can get use to the looser tension. Setup issues.... any other 5L users having trouble getting there B string setup right? I have the saddle all the way to the back of the bridge, and it still goes sharp at the 12th fret.

I have the same problem with mine...i just live with it though because i never play the B string that high up on the neck. anyone know how to get it set right?

Hey Alan,

[dumbdrum]

Sweet. Someone snag this one. I'm mighty tempted myself. Too bad no BIN.

 

[matrok]

It's the twin to mine, made in the same last batch.

 

[Chef]

I'm all over that.
If I win, my pseudo-swirl will go right up f/s, here first.

 

[matrok]

go Alan!

 

[Chef]

Ya know what?
I need to settle the heck down and be happy with what I got...mine ain't "lava swirl," but it's some kinda swirl, maybe rarer, and it looks and plays great.

Y'all have fun with this one...there's a P/J on there now too.

 

[matrok]

what!!!

 

[matrok]

I see a new JJ, but where's the PJ?

 

[69limeRev]

Groan!!!!!!!!!.....Want...Lava....Swirl!

What should a lava swirl R5L go for? Actually, what should be the upcharge due to the rarity of the lava swirl finish on any Reverend?

And yes, I'm looking at ebay.

 

[BartmanPDX]

The great thing about Lava Swirl is how it looks from 10-20 ft. away. Perfect. They actually look better from further away than close up. That makes them look great on stage at gigs.

I'd guess the Lava Swirl finish would add around $100 to the selling price.

Yay Lava Swirl!

 

[matrok]

I paid $1000 for mine new.

 

[bassguppy]

Reverend 5L w/BIN of $700.00 on ebay. It's been up for about 5 hours, 10 day auction. Comes w/gigbag.

Oh god. Someone please remind me that I don't need another bass. Please!

 

[69limeRev]

But "need" is such a subjective word.............

Oh god. Someone please remind me that I don't need another bass. Please!

I've been resisting that one, as well.

 

[Chef]

Resistance is futile.
You will be absorbed.

LOL! Maybe after the holidays, but I'm actually in 'sell mode', not 'buy mode' right now.
