The Reverend Club (part 3)

[dumbdrum]

I'd trade my P/J for that LeCompte, anyday.

I would also. Although, the value of the LeCompte is more like 2 reverends...I wouldn't trade two revs for it.

This is what I had save from either the website or an email from Reverend regarding the 5L. switch

1 3-position voicing switch: UP=both pickups in parallel, MID=neck pickup alone, DOWN=both pickups in series.

Interestingly enough, on my 5L (one of the first ten made) the middle position is bridge pickup only, which is my favorite. They must have changed that at some point -- I don't think mine has been modded in the slightest.

Ordinarily, I hate soloing a bridge pickup, but on the 5L, it's so far from the bridge (and slanted), that it sounds more like a reverse P than a typical J bridge.

Many, many times I've thought of selling my 5L. I have way too many basses as it is. Then I pick it up and plug it in, and that thought goes right out the window.

 

[Chef]

Or, perhaps, the bass was made on a monday/friday and-blaphemy!-they got it wrong on accident...
I'll have to check my two at some point, maybe wire one to the bridge and see wassupwidat...

The green one!
What am I thinking, I just sold a red one because I had too many JJs. But, green is one of those cool colors that just seems to suit a Rumblefish. Let's keep this one in the family, guys!

Dave,
I almost bought your red one, because it seemed like I'd have a Christmas pair! The red & green would have looked so beautiful just hanging out with each other!
Anyway, I'm downsizing, tend to play my G&L's more than anything else, so the greenie may go up next week....

 

[matrok]

mmmmm, green. Can't wait to see it.

 

[BigRedX]

Thanks for all the info regarding the controls. I've joined the Reverend Forum and have emailed Reverend themselves so hopefully I'll have everything I need soon.

I may however go for a four position rotary switch so I can have each individual pickup as well as the series and parallel settings. I have two other basses that have single coil pups with a series setting and they both sound massive! It's one of my favourite sounds.

That looks like one that I owned two years ago. The bridge is actually hanging off the body a tad. I sold it after I acquired my blue one...

 

[Chef]

Ended with BIN...anyone here?

 

[p0k]

wow, $895 seems like a lot for a common color like that.

 

[matrok]

that is a bit steep for a black one, wow.

[matrok]

That lava is the twin to mine, my serial is 04524. great price considering how much that black 5L just went for.

 

[Chef]

That's what I paid for my "blackwood" 5L...
The creme is dead sexy.

 

[69limeRev]

"IF" I had the income tax refund....The Lava swirl would be on it's way to Pittsburgh! Most likely followed by a Purple 5L departure. Oh well.............

 

[matrok]

Oh but that purple is so cool too

 

[Chef]

taint mine, tho I have one just like it:
