  1. Peach Guitars are a Reverend stockist - aren't showing any Dub Kings just now, but you could contact them in case they are expecting one soon?
  2. Like Lozz said, think it's 19mm. Only Fender/Squier that is narrower (that I am aware of) was the older Broncos which had 17mm spacing but can fit 19mm happily.
  3. Yes, but which colour of black?
  4. I have only tried a Reverend, so no longer term experience but I do recall the pickups be very square, like you say. If this was me, there would be three options: Take a file/sandpaper and very gradually file the edges of where you play the most to get it to a point where it isn't bothering you. Get a zero-mod style thumb rest Return it and go back to the drawing board. It is a bit unfortunate that the one of the big pros of Reverend is their in-house pickups, so you don't really want to change them out. Hopefully this helps and you find a solution rather than having to return a bass you like 95% of.
  5. I'm sure we have seen our fair share of toxic behaviour on the internet, and sometimes it can feel like there's very few places left to hide from that. It's genuinely great to see strangers come together and make a difference to one of the members going through a difficult time. Hopefully it makes a difference for you and your family, Andy.
  6. I was going to say the same! I have a great bitsa P I put together that doesn't get played, but that green....
  7. Well just think of it as having an "in" for now, or as long as @Ander87 is a sponsored artist 😂
  8. I am sure someone will be along with an actual answer and measurements, but in the meantime I used a Harley Benton neck on a generic P Bass body and it fiit ma very small bit of filing so it would suggest that the necks and pockets are close to standard Fender-type measurements. Others may know better though!
  9. It's good of him to note the date on which he finally lost the last of his marbles on the headstock 😅 Also, the subtle advertising of his likely self-published books is a nice touch.
  10. I thought the same myself - they regularly get listed between £800-£1500 which is a stupidly good price at either end of the scale.
  11. I'd be impressed if it was, unless the guy you sold it to added an extra string! 😅 The fretboard on your old one looks amazing!
  12. Just had a look through his Instagram - he makes some nice basses! I do like the Fodera shapes - but not their prices 😅
  13. This isn't meant to sound condescending, but have you asked him? I appreciate it lists on his site that its 33-35" but a quick google brought me back to here and this post. Maybe @MacDaddy can advise?
  14. Still no closer to working out what this is - the bottom edge of the body has kind of been stolen/inspired by Dingwall maybe? But the rest of it looks pretty generic. Funny how even with the power of the internet, you still can't answer everything.
  15. Looks like HMN233289 as you say, which would make it July 2016? Any other pictures?
  16. I probably wouldn't pick it when looking online, but there's a local guy who uses one and when you get rid of that new gloss and it looks a bit worn in, the Antigua finish does start to look cool...
  17. I did a Bronco project a few years ago and I just bit the bullet and got a local tech to do the tuners for me since I like you, didn't have the tools at the time. Think he changed me about £20 to do it. And the standard size of the tuning pegs fit perfectly on the back so don't worry about a specific set if you are looking to save pennies. I got the tuners from here for about £15 too. Stick an ad up in the Items Wanted section and I'm sure someone round here has a set of tuners in their parts drawer. Super fun things to do and good luck with getting back to working order!
  18. Online retailer forgets the internet exists 🤷🏻‍♂️😂
  19. Could try and go up a gauge from what you're currently using. Another option is to contact Newtone and they can make a custom set that will suit your needs
  20. Weirdly I like the Meteora in the more normal colours vs the brighter colours - but those retail prices are well and truly into fully custom build territory. I know I'm not the target market and I am sure they will be very nice basses, but that ain't cheap.
  21. If you want to find out - email Maruszczyk with the serial number and see what the original spec was.
  22. I don't necessarily dislike it as a bass - colour and shape are quite cool, but in a generic way. It looks very 80s/90s Peavey-ish.
  23. I normally really like the natural BBs, but that stain - albeit different from the original plan looks great!
  24. I'd love a Reverend - just don't play enough just now to justify £1,000 on a bass! I'd probably go for the Triad too, but not a fan of the colours currently available. Enjoy it when it comes @Duroc17
