The Reverend Club (part 8)

Guess I'm back in. Currently undergoing further modification....

My Thundergun sports the same reverse headstock, might it be a T-Gun?

Similar. A Meshell Ndegeocello Fellowship bass. I did change the pickup and made separate volume and tone controls. Now it out P basses the various P basses I've owned. Light too, just under 8 lbs. and perfectly balanced. I heard about neck dive with these but none of that on this example. The fretwork is impeccable. Board is dark but if I was blindfolded and playing this I'd swear it was a maple board.

Really a great bass stock and modified it's now perfect for me.

I love it when I find a bass that just does everything I want. I even enjoy it when another fine bassist, like yourself, finds that perfect bass. Congratulations my friend!
 
Hey guys, it's me again! Still absolutely loving my Triad. Anyway, was browsing the Reverend site, and came across this picture:

My Triad does not have that small circular plate. What is/was that? Did maybe the prototype have the selector switch up there, kind of like a Jaguar? Thanks!

I don't recall the Triad ever having that plate. I'm thinking that picture isn't supposed to be there? I will check at work tomorrow, as well as the block inlays.

That was the prototype. It had three volume knobs, and that plate was the tone knob. I couldn't find any Triads in the warehouse with an inlay on the one.
 
I'm looking forward to the two pickup Watt model, seeing him next week...can't wait!
I saw him last week here in Chicago. Still great! He's breaking in a new drummer as the old one became a dad. I think the two-pickup model has more edge and clarity than the single-pup he had last time, I was digging it.
