The Reverend Club (part 8)

[Iridescentone]

Anyone notice the Lava Swirl Rumblefish PJ on EBay yesterday. I put $500 on it and someone hit the BIN for $1200. A couple of hours later... It was a beauty for sure!

Yeah, was watching that one. With a BIN of $1200 I figured the reserve was prolly at least a grand.

I didn't think it would sell at all, the way the economy seems to be.

Still, someone grabbed it for the $1260 shipped. Just goes to show the draw power of the Rumblefish. Happy to see it!

 

[Chef]

I'm glad I did not see it or know if it.
I mighta had to do it to match my BH5.

There were only about 1000 USA Models of all platforms and colors

33 of those had a Lava Swirl Finish

9 Brad Housers
6 5 Strings
6 RPJs
6 Rumblefish
6 XLs

In the 7 years-ish that I have been collecting/following/Tracking, I have only seen 3 5 strings (1 of em a Houser) and 5 4 Stings (2 Pjs, 2Rxls, and 1 Rum) come up for sale.

So that means that, maybe, once a year, a Lava Swirl Bass will come up for sale.....

Greetings from the North,

Looks like ya got some of that powdered sugar in yer beard too.

I have a Faux Red Mahogany and a Jet Black BH5, the two most common phenolics for that instrument probably. Daktari, you may be interested to know that the Reverend archive lists my FRM bass as having an arm rest, but it does not. My JB bass has the black pearloid PG, but it is not specified as such in the archive.

 

[Chef]

Some?

All your powdered sugar are belong to us.

The guitarist in my original progect has an endorsement with reverend. They look great and sound fantastic. I havent played or heard the basses but if they are of the same quality as the guitars I'd like to try one some time.

Greetings,

I meant to post this one..... but not sideways lol

[Chef]

And then there were 3?

 

[Rezdog]

Uhmmm...

Nope I only have 2. It's actually the Gold one. For some reason it reflects white under certain conditions. At first I thought it was just me wishing too hard because that's what I really wanted but as far as I know Joe didn't make any BH5's in White.

So......with a trick of light.......the Myth of the White BH5

Rezdog

 

[Chef]

ah: well done.

Now I need to get my gold PJ out.

Beautiful bass, beautiful case!
Is it a Reverend case?
If not, what is it?

 

[Chef]

Looks like the stock issue "tuxedo" teardop case.

DO WANT!!!

 

[Chef]

Good luck with that. They never ever come up used, and TKL don't make them anymore.
