The Reverend club

Damn! Where's my notice on this kinda thing? I want a 4 string XL so bad I can taste it.

Be careful what you ask for! I'd guess you're next ...

 

[MaddAnthony_59]

Nice!! What's the serial # and bass # on that bad boy?

I'll post tomorrow. And I'll try to get som pic's as well. I have a R5L, same colors. I'm hoping to hang out at the Reverend Factory again soon, and have Joey give them the Once Over. he loves seeing his Old Stuff come home. I think he misses MAKING this stuff. But with US labor prices, he can't afford not to make 'em off-shore. Too bad Mexico doesn't have the labor force to make 'em there. NAFTA beats WTO anyday! (oh oh, could I be sparking a Political Debate in a Fish Forum... )

Caio,

Unfortunately the nature of these instruments do not lend themselves to small production, or even one-off runs, so it's not like we can even beg him to build us one, or a Lakland style, 30 preorder, TalkBass special edition...

Or could we?

 

[MaddAnthony_59]

Here's a Hot One...

You're killing me. A TB special edition Reverend -- hollowbody, perhaps?

A man can dream.

Hey Chef, it was just the 4 string for sale!!

 

[matrok]

Tony, are you a total fish-head now?!?!? Another one already?

Fretless, unlined, they'd sell out in a hot minute.

 

[Dan1099]

Noooo. How about Fiesta Red, or Sherwood Green, Rosewood Boards, Parchment Pickguard, fretted? I could dream about this all day.

An orange one would be pretty sweet.

Yeah! The new one is Very Early. No is 01018, and it's signed by Joey, himself. Early, made in Canada, solid black case, instruction manual, warranty card, and lot's of Reverend Stickers! (5) VERY Light, even for a Reverend. I'll take some Pic's tomorrow...

Thanks again for getting me Hooked!

Well that Bugeye on the bay sold for $870. Wow.

That sounds about right. Although, I got the red one, #90, for $100 less. I guess it just depends on who sees the auction and is in a position to buy. That seller got a little dose of reality, though.. $1,400 was pie in the sky.

One Fish...

 

[MaddAnthony_59]

Two Fish!!!

[Dave Siff]

Very nice! Two of the same color with different fretboards is cool.

My PJ is sorta the reverse of that:

Very Nice...I'm considering Black PUP covers. My wife says it Clashes...White PUPS are <Manly, IMHO...

Hey MadAnthony,

I hope you like your new purchase, I hated to let it go, but I found myself playing it less and less. I'm glad it went to a good home with someone who'll appreciate it.
I guess I better think about changing my name now that I no longer own a Rumblefish!! See you at your gig soon, keep me on your mailing list- I want to see and hear the 'Fish in action.
