The Reverend Club (part 8)

[Git]

I am not a fan of brown basses but that does look good; the gold hardware in particular.

I've just put a deposit down on a red Mercalli fiver, to arrive in the next couple of weeks.

Enjoy it. It's an amazing instrument.

New Reverend owner here. My local shop got a Dub King in, and I just kept going back in to play it. I finally had to take it home.

Happened to have a short scale set of GHS Balanced Nickels on hand waiting for the right bass. Threw them on, and they feel and sound great.

Just knocked out a tort guard for it because, as we all know, tort guards have the best tone. I think it looks pretty good against the natural finish. How bout y'all?

Forgot to take a before pic, so the stock guard is just sitting over the tort, not screwed on. The tort pic is a little skewed from trying to find an angle that didn't reflect my messy living room in the freshly-peeled, shiny new guard.

Nice! I like the tort better than the stock white. Congrats on the new bass. I always thought those Dub Kings looked very cool. I've never seen one in the flesh though.

I love that natural finish. The tort looks good.

The tort looks good.

Yes. And,

as we all know, tort guards have the best tone.

Looks much cooler than the flat white. My DK has the orange finish with black pg, but now I'm inspired to make a tort one.

 

[John Stephen]

Wow! I didn't know they make an orange one.

Always on the look out for an additional Rumblefish.

Cool basses, cool dogs.

+1 on the puppers!

Question: Is that an Auralex GRAMMA isolator between the 800 and the 115?

You betcha. Serves no purpose other than to provide a flat surface to lay the 800 on its side.

The very first Mercalli 5 up for sale in the classifieds….

 

[cv115505]

It seems as though a new 5 string is coming. I can't wait to see what it is.

Alright Triad owners, tell me about your favorite tones. I have a recently-acquired Fellowship that's so good it makes me want another Reverend. Based on Lobster's video, it seems like some of the best tones coming out of the Triad are P-like, which obviously I already have really well covered. Are you getting Jazz/Ric/Ray-like tones out of the other positions?

 

[johnyrocksville]

I definitely wanted one of these and drove out to Sweetwater to get one only to find out the Reverend has discontinued the natural finish. Not sure what the new colors will be, guess I will just have to wait and find out.

We still have some Natural Triads on stock

Definitely messed up my quote lol. I was talking about the Dub King. I really like to Triad too. I didn't know they did that one in natural. After I take care of my GAS for a semi hollow I am definitely adding a Triad to my stable.

Any new Triad colors coming at NAMM? Trying to decide if I should pull the trigger on a periwinkle burst or wait.
