according to Steve at Reverend(as I recall of course), the "metal" tops are a foil bonded to the top. have to check with Steve again for verification.

Huh...cause this one and my gold-topped P/J sure sound like metal when you tap on 'em...
anyone else's like that?

I dunno. Hard to tell. I should have paid more attention when I had the pickguard off my Houser.
Here are the insider pics again, if your eyes are better than mine . . .

LOL. I think the giant Musicap capacitor that he put in there helped open up the tone more than any of the other mods he did.
Good thing it's a hollowbody though so it had enough room in there.
Are'nt the bugeyes like a thinly chromed plastic of some sort, whereas the swirls have maybe a layer of anodized aluminum on it? I can see alum where I scratched my lava one.
I got my 1st Rev from Tony! I love that thing.
That was a great bass. I definitely miss it.
So, since I'm never gonna get my mitts on the Orange Roughy, I decided to grab this one.. a bass I've always been intrigued by, in the same color scheme:

Once this baby arrives, I'll have more non-Reverends than Reverends. That ain't right! Might have to go 'Fishin again to even out the 'ol collection..

I'm generally not a fan of Ibanez basses, but that one is pretty freakin' cool.
Not quite as cool as a Rumblefish, but then again, that's a high mark to hit.

Yep, they had to create a whole new category of "cool" to handle the 'Fish!
I too am not a fan of Ibanez basses in general. The ATK is the only one I've ever really liked, and I've always harbored a bit of G.A.S. for one. They just sound so freakin' huge. This will put me back up to five basses.. so much for downsizing! But, with two 'Fish, a Lakland Scheff, the ATK and a sunburst P-bass, I might have to start wearing sunglasses around the house.

Last night I was asked to go to a jam session with a whole buncha guitars, another bassist/keys, and a drummer. They were all fine players and I had a great time. I took the Blackfish and it was quite a hit; they were all curious about the construction, the look, and the sound. No one there had ever seen or even heard of one. It sounded terrrific thru my Eden/Berg setup.
This was today's giggin outfit, old school thumpin cool:
That's freakin' awesome. Nice combination!
I'm green with GAS envy.
