First the wife approves of my new Ric and now the new Wattplower, dang it

I'm definitely excited about the Wattplower II. Hmmm, looks like a 3-position switch, I'll be curious to see exactly how that works. I don't see details on Rev's site yet about that.
Front is the neck pickup, middle is the front two P pickups, bridge is the middle and bridge P.I'm definitely excited about the Wattplower II. Hmmm, looks like a 3-position switch, I'll be curious to see exactly how that works. I don't see details on Rev's site yet about that.
Cool, thanks. I do wonder what an additional position that combines the neck and the two rear P blades would sound like...Front is the neck pickup, middle is the front two P pickups, bridge is the middle and bridge P.
I would think putting in a five way would be pretty straight forwardCool, thanks. I do wonder what an additional position that combines the neck and the two rear P blades would sound like...
Yeah a five way or push pull switch to add the neck pickup to any position would be fairly easy.I would think putting in a five way would be pretty straight forward
Thanks for blowing some up for us!
While we are geeking out about colours I'm gonna chuck up three more pics of my main squeeze, which I ordered the day I first saw the promo pics in 2017:

Interestingly, I am yet to meet another Reverend owner (living in rural New Zealand will do that to you), but all the guitarists I meet and play with know exactly who they are and love what they do. That's the power of beautiful design.
I recently picked up a stingray 5, but it still plays second fiddle to my 20th Merc. Nowadays I play 100% of the time on the rear thickbrick. Wonderful tight articulate tone, with A LOT more open and (dare I say Fender-ish) usable mid range than the ray.

Yah - I used to as well, but my current rig is VERY full down low, and it definitely allows the thickbrick to punch in a very full sense.
