Anyone need a case?

Can anyone confirm that this is a Rumblefish case? If it is, I will try to win the auction. I figured you guys would know best.

I checked the measurements he pictured against my case. They are a little off, but I suppose that could be normal. Ask if he can show a pic with a Fender style bass laying in it.

A Fender bass won't fit in that case. I found this out when I got my latest Rumblefish, #90. It came in a case that was slightly smaller than my other two, and with black plush lining instead of red. In the black plush-lined case, the area that holds the body of the bass is smaller. My P-basses will fit in the red plush-lined cases, but not the black one.

 

[matrok]

OK, never tried putting anything else in mine, but that makes sense. Well at least laying a bass on it would show the length if nothing else.

 

[Chef]

Both of my hard cases are black lined...

 

[matrok]

So are mine.

I've had this gorgeous blue R5L # 37 Ser # 00736 since I bought it on ebay in nov 02. I've played it maybe a total of 5 hours and it's never left my house. I'm just not a 5 stringer. My 2- 4 string fish get all the playing. Net effect (pun intended), after posting on TB for years I just upgraded today, so watch the bass for sale area soon for this blue bombshell.

Here's the school:
BH 5 in faux mahogany, Swril 5L, Gold P/J, Sky Blue 5L

And the newbie:

Auction said "comes with gig bag," it wasn't a Rev bag

 

[Dave Siff]

Awesome school of 'Fish, Chef! Thanks for the pic.
I rather like the look of your new one. It may not be as swirl-tastic as you'd hoped, but it's still pretty cool in my book.

 

[Chef]

Yessir, I know it..but listen to me whine, I'm good at it:
"Awwww, pooooor me, me new fish ain't as swirl-tastic (tm) as I'd hoped....waaaaaah!"

Why don't one of you fools buy my L1K so's I can get another fish?

 

[petch]

Ah Chef, a culinary masterpiece of seafood...

 

[matrok]

That is indeed a sweet school. Love to help you out on the L1k, but I'm really saving the pennies for a new head and watching for a maple board fish.

How would you compare the P/J Fish to the Lakland Skyline Duck Dunn or Glaub? And the J/J to the Skyline Darryl Jones? It looks like I might be waiting a while for a Fish and I need a new bass soon so one of these should hold me over. I haven't been able to get my hands on a Lakland, but I am guessing many of you have.

 

[matrok]

Never played any of those Lakland's, but the Rev's have a very slick Jazz neck profile. My P/J has a very aggressive Fender tone.

 

[rvvl]

Yeah, I've played a P/J before. I loved the neck, which is why I would get a Lakland with the jazz tapered neck. The tone was great on the Fish, but I had just bought a new head and was unable to sell a keyboard I had to give me the cash I needed to pick up the Fish. If only I had known that they were going to discontinue them...

 

[matrok]

I like the look of the Duck Dunn. If I didn't have the Rev's I'd be looking at those. Or the Fender Jaguar.

 

[Trevorus]

I know you all want to see a naked Reverend...

The body has a weight near the bridge to prevent neckdive...

And the electronics:

What do you all think?

 

[watspan]

Is there also a metal bar alongide the wood center "for sustain"? I couldn't sse it in the pics. Also anwers my Q about replacing the neck p/u in a 4 to make a p/j being simple or complicated!

I didn't see one.

 

[matrok]

Thanks for the inside peek. I wish I had been at my tech's place when he had mine open for a close look. And yes, that does answer the question about turning a JJ into P/J. Doesn't look that easy to me.
