VERY cool! That 5-string of yours is mighty nice.
When I got my first Rumblefish in late '98, I tried to talk the guitar player in my band into getting a Reverend. He agreed to check one out, so we went to the local Reverend dealer. Long story short, he couldn't put it down. He kept cycling through the different tones, saying "Wow." And then, "Wow!" But, being a Les Paul guy, he complained the Reverend was too light!

Thanks! I got it for Christmas/Off of eBay. No 4523, or something like that...

Yeah, there is something Magical about a Reverend. Bass or Guitar, they have that SOUND! I still find it hard to believe that something so light can make such a Big BOOM! I look at it as a Big Plus being so light. They look so Retro, and almost "Innocent". Then they make ALL that Noise...:bassist:

Loving it! At first I wasn't too crazy about the tone, compared to my R5L. But I think I found it's niche/sweet-spot. It just doesn't have the Big Boom the XL's have with the toggle down. Plays like a dream, and has a nice Bright sound without being Too Trebley. You know, that Reverend Sound!:smug:

Oh, I didn't get to call Reverend last week. I'll try to Ring them after lunch today...

C'mon Dave it's green and it's one of the first 100 basses. You HAVE to get it!

I was on the phone with my wife a couple of minutes ago when I looked at the auction. I sort of gasped, and she was like, "What?!?" I told her, and she snapped, "Just STOP LOOKING!" :help:
I could sell one or both of my P-basses to fund this green one, but I think I'll leave well enough alone. Another TBer needs to get this, though!

I am very tempted...Green is my favorite colour.

I will soon have a Carbon Fiber 5L. I bought a brand new but damaged one from another TBer a while back. The body has a huge hole in it above the bridge. Everything else is as new. Instead of replacing the Formica or whatever the body is covered with I'm going with Carbon Fiber thats the same thickness. Should look cool and certainly different. Pics as soon as it's finished. Like a FOOL I sold my Rumblefish 4 string, being Fishless SUCKS!! :(
