Haven't seen too much coverage of the basses at the Reverend booth (apart from the Watt 2) on the usual social media outlets. If anyone can link to any videos etc, please feel free. Cheers.
I live about a 20 min drive from the factory in Toledo Oh.....I’ll swing by when Ken and Co. are back from NAMM and take some photos. He’s posted a bunch on Facebook, so you can check there. I’d like to see more reviews and clips online myself.
Thanks for that Firewalz. I have seen Ken's photos and they are great. Just had a bit of time yesterday to flick through YT etc but didn't come across anything specifically on the new basses from the usual music gear websites etc. Suppose I'm just mad curious as I have a green Sentinel on order.

Seeing how last years convinced me to buy the Fatfish I don’t need to watch any of them lol
The Sentinel gets its own personal showcase around the 6.20 - it does look kinda dinky but pretty awesome too.
Yeah I’m close to your height and while it definitely felt like a short scale bass it doesn’t feel tiny and it certainly doesn’t sound that way either. I played the same one I tried before this past weekend and I loved it just as much. Though I was definitely jiving more with the darkest position. It sounded great for finger funk type stuff. Not my usual style by useful option to have.

Yeah....The Wattplower feels tiny to me. The Sentinel feels much more normal.
My assessment of the Thundergun so far, I’m really digging it. Two main tones, with variations of each by using the tone knob and hand placement, are the Fat P bass and rear jazz/MM pickup. Bound neck feels nice, has a flatter fingerboard radius than I’m used to but I can get the action low.
This is really specific question but I’m considering getting a Triad and I was wondering if the Jazz Bombs were wired in series or parallel.
Not sure....but they will probably answer if you drop them a note on FB or wherever. The Triad does look and sound incredibly flexible...seems like you could get a variety of different tones, great for a covering different genres and tones in one bass. That maybe the next one I check out.
It is really versatile for sure. I tried one several times and always enjoyed it. However the tone was always a little too meaty so I wanted to see if the single coil sized humbuckers are wired in series or parallel. If it’s series then you could just wire them in parallel to get more of the traditional jazz bass sound.

Sadly, I can't answer that question...I'll email Joe for that answer! I can tell you that personally, I don't care for the bridge or center pickup solo'd. The neck pickup, and the combined neck/ center, and center/ bridge, are all awesome for my personal taste.
