The Reverend Club (part 8)

[comatosedragon]

Sorry. Not even 100% sure they still use SITs.

Fairly certain the Triad I received two weeks ago still had SIT.
Now it's rocking Sunbeams .....

On my Decision P I was told they were SIT stainless steel 45 100s.

 

[chris4001asat]

Any idea what kind?

If we change them at HQ, we put on S.I.T. power wound nickel, med light gauge. We don't always change strings, however, and not a clue what they use at the factory.

First thing I did when I bought my Thundergun was put on a nice new set of 35-year-old flatwounds.

I'll try those out. I have no idea if the strings had been changed at HQ. But I'll try out what you guys recommend

So, I got the FatFish prototype. Gotta say after two times out and one studio session I am really digging this bass!!!

Does Reverend offer a J style neck?
I searched the site and it looks like all the 4-strings are 1 5/8" (42mm) and didn't see an option.

 

[redstrand]

My Fatfish is close enough, totally comfortable up and down the neck

 

[melloncollie]

The triad is also fairly close. Felt very jazz like to me.

I prefer a J neck and the Rev's are pretty close. One of my friends has a Decision and I am very comfortable playing it. My Rumblefish is a J width at 1.5

The triad Neck is definitely more P like than J. All the current (bolt-on) Reverend line is, which is a major part of what fueled me to purchase my purple burst Triad (love it!) and very soon an alpine green mercalli shall be mine .....

I personally love the reverend profile necks.

Huh, I usually like jazz necks better but I found the triad really comfortable. Whatever it is, it feels great which is the important thing.

Reverend certainly know how to make classy looking guitars:

And here is my favorite reverend rumblefish

And here is my favorite reverend rumblefish

Nice XL!

 

[SilenceSewer]

Nice XL!

I think that this is not XL, because I do not have a series / parallel switch.
It's my favorite jazz bass style bass now.
At the moment i also have Fender Jazz Bass AVRI 62 and Fender Jaguar Bass Japan with Lollar pickups

 

[Stugilliam]

You are correct sir, my eyes just aren't working correctly this AM, it's still a great looking Fish.

Any basses in the new models being announced next week?
