Introducing The Reverend Basshouser Fatfish 32 | Bass Gear Magazine

The black one has a maple neck with black block inlays. It sounds and and feels AMAZING

 

[melloncollie]

Not what I expected but I'm interested. It looks like it's got two middle pickups as opposed to a neck and a bridge. And I'm assuming 32 inch scale length?

Is the "32" part of the name the scale? What's the headstock look like? No pics on the Reverend site yet?

One good thing about Reverend?
They take classsic shapes and make them their own.

Yes, 32 inch scale. Reverse headstock. It's a larger body than the mercalli or thundergun. No pics on the site yet because bass gear magazine wasn't supposed to put this out yet! Not until the unveiling at NAMM. Setneck, but unpainted. I LOVE this bass

 

[redstrand]

I like the idea of the new jazz pickup closer to the neck, this would be a killer reggae bass as well as blues and rock

So, safe to say we might see a couple more new toys at NAMM then?

Basshouser fatfish looks interesting! Cool pickups and pickup position!

I don't understand why Reverend is attracted to set necks. Is it cheaper? I have a feeling this is going to be a poor seller. Even to Reverend fans.

It's what Brad Houser wanted.

you do know about half their line is set neck and they all do well selling them, they play well too. I'd be interested to see the Watt mark II that has been teased by Watt

Brad houser actually came into the guitar shop that work in and brought his new bass. His had a thick brick pickup in the neck position though and he said that would be the final revision.

 

[Daniel Piper]

I think I'm going to make a burnt brick decision my friend...

I'm pretty sure that request came in too late. The NAMM launch was already prepared, and orders sent to the factory.

That makes sense. I figured something like that would happen. Well I for one look forward to version 2 with the humbucker in the neck. It sounded great.
