The Reverend Club (part 8)

That's funknwaffles! Didn't realize there was a fellow SYR boy on here!
I am relatively new to the Syracuse scene. When I got here 4+ years ago, and started playing out, so many people asked about my Reverend Moroccan gold PJ 'fish (see avatar pic) that I got the nickname, "Reverend Ken". It stuck, and I'm still here.

And yes, Funk'n Waffles is the venue where the pic was taken. And I'm still playing around somewhere most nights.
 
I just got my Re-Skinned Brad Houser body back. He didn't have any Bug Eye, but he did have a Very Cool Tooled Aluminum! They made 3 guitars with this top, but not any Basses, let alone a BH5. It has Gold in the "Nooks & Crannies" that Light Up in lights other than White. Otherwise it looks like this:

So what do you think, Good Choice, or should I have stayed with the Cracked Bug-Eye?
 
Submitted for your approval, my entry into the club. Thanks Folmeister for helping me out as well as Ken and Zack at Reverend for helping me get her back in A1 shape. Such great tone and so light, I love it. Bass#31.

Nice one.

Did you add the Hipshots, or did it come from the factory with them?

This is a later version of the Mike Watt Sig. Reverend bass prototype, I don't know anything else, because Reverend is not forthcoming with any other information. Looks pretty sweet! what do you guys think?

I really want to hear that P blade pickup in action... I know it's one Me'shell N'degeocello's signature but there is only one Rev dealer around here and they don't have one
