That's great, thanks.

Chris, do you have the new Decision and Raymond in stock in midnight black? I'm interested in one or other. Not sure which though and I have no way of trying these out before placing an order. I am loving my Mercalli, so not really looking for something that much different tone wise. I do like the classic styling of black and (roasted) maple and either would no doubt be a great addition to my collection.

Both are in stock

Cheers Chris. Can you tell me is there much difference in sound and volume between the new blade neck pu on the Decision P and the split brick it replaces? What was the reason for the revamp?

The p blade is a tad quieter. Sound wise...not as modern sounding, for lack of a better word.The reason? Just time for a revamp. The Raymond sort of takes the place of the original decision, more or less

Cheers Chris. I'm intrigued by the pickups on the Raymond and looking forward to someone posting some sound clips hopefully in the near future. Didn't Andy Irvine record some for you?

Yes, and I am shocked they haven't released them yet! I don't know why their game plan is.

Good Evening. I was wondering if you kind people could tell me if there is a difference in neck shape, profile, feel between the current Reverend basses and those of the Rumblefish. 4 string versions. I am interested in the import offerings, but to be honest, the neck on the Rumblefish I have just doesn't feel like a good fit for me. I actually have it listed in the classifieds. I love everything about the Rumblefish but I just can't seem to bond with the neck. Are the necks on the Thundergun or Mercalli about the same as the Rumblefish? If I could play one, I would. Thanks!

I can tell you the 5-strings are vastly different. The 4 strings are different just not as much. The Thundergun is a set neck that is painted. That alone will give you a different feel.

 

[Sodbuster]

Thank you. At one time I had one of the black Volcano six strings and a Charger bolt on neck. I preferred the Volcano set neck, although I'm not sure how relevant that is when discussing bass necks. I appreciate the information. Cheer So!

Cheers!

Hello All. So I'm wanting to buy either the Mercalli Terq FM 5 or try and hunt down a 20th Aniversary 5. What are your thoughts? And any suggestions on trying to track down a Aniversary model.

Thanks

Shaun

Yip - this design is growing on me! Waiting for a high quality demo to drop to see how these jazz bombs sound. Hopefully they are aggressive!

Imagine all 3 pups in series! Is it set up to play this way?

*shrugs*

I am sure it will be beefy. Its just whether it has much pop 'n' sizzle.

I imagine they will be based on this description.

"The three brand-new Jazz Bomb pickups are hum-free with increased output. The steel rails create a rich, focused tone that cuts through the mix."

Reverend has the best OEM pickups I've ever heard in my opinion. I'm really excited to try one of these. And the purple too....jesus.

@chris4001asat

Can you provide more information about what the 5-way switch on the Triad does? The positions and series/parallel?

 

[melloncollie]

Standard Strat style switch from what I've heard.
