here's the Bh5/ mercalli hybrid again. it's Amazing!!! I'm looking to trade its other halves (fretless BH5 neck on mercalli body) for a 4string rumblefish, hopefully with a rosewood board.

I picked up a Dub King at a really great price via ebay. I finally got to put it through its paces last night at full volume at practice and, OMG, what a kicka$$ bass!

Don't know if it replaces my Rumblefish XL as my #1, but it has such an enormous, lush, full sound that I was enjoying more and more as the night went on.

I did a few tweaks to it to make it more ergonomically suited to me such as lightly sanding down the back of the neck with plastic steel wool, moving the strap button to the neck heel and adding Hipshot tuners to counter some neck dive.

As I have a "1 in, 1 out" policy for marriage preservation, I strongly suspect that the odd-man out will be my Lakland Skyline Scheff.

If anyone is on the fence about the Dub King, go for it!

Thanks for the review on the Dub King I hope to get one soon.
I really like that nice low price! Congrats.

Guys, you know how it is... I have decided to try something new and have sent the Blackfish swimming off to its new home in NY. I have enjoyed my time in the Reverend Club very much. I hereby relinquish my long-held #3 membership. Perhaps you'll hear from the new owner soon. All the best!

Just got #62 back after almost five years. Cleaned her up and slapped on a new set of Chromes. Needs a set-up, but it's good to have this bass back where it belongs!

A couple of Tuxedo Cases and Gigbags at the Link Removed...

 

[Chef]

Yeah: good luck ever finding another hardshell case.
better hit that if you want one.

Here's a not so good pic of my rev. PJ, today it's sporting bartolini's but I have a litany of pickups (including original Rev. PJ's) I rotate in and out of it's gills (forgive bad fish pun).

This white fish (another bad pun, sorry) is missing a D string ...does anyone happen to have a D'addario chrome D string lying around that isn't being used, maybe you were thinking of throwing it out, well here's a bass that could put it to good use.. Age doesn't matter.

Peace!

Had to share this shot from our Mud, Blood & Beer CD release party at the Bitter End a couple of weeks back.

The Rumblefish still remains the #1 in my stable.

Greetings from the North,

Great shot. Those chicken heads look pretty cool.

And return greetings in kind from a fellow Canadian now living in the US. Go Habs!

If anyone is interested, I put my Dub King up for sale / trade in the classifieds. I'm just more comfortable with long-scale. I'd be very happy to swap it for another Reverend 5'er, etc.

 

[Dave Siff]

Great photo!

 

[Calexia13]

That photo is awesome!

On another note, anybody ever wonder if you could put a neck from a Decision bass on an old reverend body? I have seen Brad Houser put a mercalli neck on an old reverend. I wonder if it can be done with a Decision neck. It would probably give the bass a meatier sound (mmmm.... I am making carne asada later on today, anybody around lakewood, CA is welcome to come, just bring some brews!)

Anyway, just thinking out loud with the bass neck experiment.

Great picture!

I have no connection to it, but noticed a Rumblefish RL5 on Ebay at a good price -- only a day left. Great chance to pick up one of the American Rumblefish, don't see them for sale very often...

 

[Charley Umbria]

If anyone's interested, I've got a black 2000 Rumblefish J/J for sale in the classifieds (link below).

After a long stint with Fender Flats on my R5L, I put Sadowsky Blue Steel rounds on.... Man, that sounds fierce!!!!!
