Thanks for this. Any idea where he's located? I'm not on Facebook. Will check out the site though.

Have my Fender Mike Dirnt RW up for sale elsewhere...now what should I replace it with???
Hey, I've got a Reverend Rumblefish (JJ) and a Decision bass. Does this Club have numbers?
Prove it.
Is that red thing some kind of mute near your bridge? I'd be interested in learning more about it.
It is...Gruv Gear Fump, but it's not the best product, if you ask me. Instead of foam between the top and bottom pieces, it comes with what looks like a thin strip of folded velcro. I had to take it apart and replace the velcro with foam.
Also, works better with a flat radius fretboard.
Sounds horrible on several of my other basses.

BOOM.
First Impressions:
Incredible build quality-the gloss finish on the fingerboard is a really nice touch and I love the color. Kind of a Gibson burst, but a little bit lighter.
Playability: The 32 in scale isn’t a noteworthy adjustment. I notice a difference but I can easily go from this bass to my 35 in scale Lakland. I think it’s due to the string spacing and profile being a pretty typical dimension set.
Tone:it definitely has its own sound. That said it’s unique without being weird. The electronics are quiet in every setting. The P has kind of a thicker Jaco tone. The Jazz Bomb is a kind of Precision meets Gibson sound when solo’d. One thing I really like about this bass over past Reverends is that there isn’t as much of a volume cut when blending the pickups. It’s still there cuz physics, but it isn’t nearly as prevalent.
Consensus for me is that it’s a keeper. I’m planning to put flats on it and use it for everything from lounge gigs to festivals. Buy without fear.

I’m with you on the volume cut, I’ve enjoyed this on every setting. Time for a Fatfish Club!
A Fatfish separatist movement!
Those basses look really sweet - I cant wait to see the new Wattplower pickup configuration.
Between those two basses and the Dub King - Reverends short scale game is as strong as anyone else out there!
So... from all the initial thoughts and reviews from the new models - the new Jazz bomb pickups are on the smooth/round/warm end of the tone spectrum?
