The Reverend Club (part 7)

Charley,

My XL has split shaft pots, too. My tone knob flew off a few times until I snugged it down a little tighter.

Does anyone own a Tobacco Sunburst Dub King? The orange finish doesn't quite do it for me. But I haven't seen any Tobacco sunbursts for sale online. Everybody seems to have only the orange. Were the Tobaccos discontinued?

BH5 for sale, Chicago area CL.

No affil.

Wait.
A Mike Watt signature Reverend?
So, my favorite bass manufacturer, making a signature bass for my favorite bassist?

Any idea on price?

'S'true. Mike Watt signature bass by reverend. Ken has been talking with Watt about it for at least 6 or 7 years now.

I'm not really at liberty to say anything about pricing, but I would expect that they should be in line with typical Reverend price range.

Awesome! I wonder if he is playing it on the fIREHOSE tour?

Not yet. Reverend just got the protos in. Ken is flying out to see him shortly and have him check it out.

Thanks chris! So we have a Sensei type body and a short scale neck. The pickup is the wildcard. A gibson type humbucker?

 

[chris4001asat]

I never asked him that! Looks like their standard thick brick pickups. It could be wound differently. I'll ask Ken tomorrow at our gig.

Thanks Again Chris! I guess being in a band with Ken gets you all newest Reverend info.

 

[IPLAYLOUD]

Please tell Ken that the NYC/Metro Contingent is not happy that we were not notified on the new model. ;-)

It does look like the thick brick. I thought it was silver at first but on closer inspection it is just the photo i think.

The three prototypes have a split brick, a thick brick, and Bartolini pick up. It'll be uo to Watt to see which he likes best.

Interesting. I wonder what he'll go for.

"Interesting. I wonder what he'll go for."

>>>If he took a gig with Tull, the answer's right there...
