Chromes on a 5L are a good thing.

(dunno about Chrimes though...hey, someone was gonna hit you for that, might as well be me!)

Oops.
It'd be a chrime to misspell Chromes.

 

[Chef]

well played mr. siff, well played.

Hey guys.. I'm gonna get a set of Chromes for my 5L. Because it's 35" scale, do I need the super long scale: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
..or will the regular set do?
[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
EDIT: I think I just answered my own question.. found on another strings website that "super long scale" means 36" or more.. but I'd still appreciate any feedback you guys have.

You need the super longs. If I answered too late, the only problem will be with the "B" string. It tapers a 1/4 inch too soon at the nut. I put a piece of toothpick under the string on mine, and its held up for several months now with no problems.

That's a great price. I think I paid $20 more for mine. Maybe I should get a backup set......

I found the perfect case for the Rev5l/BH5 (which fit's also near perfect to my Mustang Bass). Check out this one:

Very durable, not that light-wight (but I think that's the compromise on quality).

 

[jaredfoster]

The Cowther P&C is a 'gristley' tone generating monster. A

Great choice Speyer. I love the P&C too...if you looking for some nice grit during recording sessions, check out the HotCake. Great for some more dirt or if you like to hightlight you basstone slightly against two overdriven guitars.

So, anybody looking for a 5L? My buddy finally sent me some pics. Blood red, white pups, gold guard. He says the neck has a different tint than is usual, but it's not noted on the spreadsheet.

He's not a TB member so I'm just putting a feeler here and on the Rev board for him.

I was about to ask "how much?!? " when I was reminded of my problem's w/35" scale...UGGGHH!!!! I would love to have one to go with the fish!

IMHO the Reverend 5L neck is one of the "real easy to play" 35" scale basses out there. The profile is slim and comfortable. I have small hands and have no problem at all getting around the 5L neck. YMMV etc. Just sayin

 

[Chef]

The 5L is a great neck!
However, the unusually placed upper horn puts the strap button at about position 14 or so, making first position a longer reach than on about anything else.

quote from my guy at Reverend

"I've seen the drawings of the new basses. You're gonna crap yourself!"

 

[Chef]

well...that's very non-specific...

if they're gonna have basses at namm, there should be protos by now.

Both the long & short scale? Are they available online?

You would think so
