Sean Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Was just learning this song for a gig and spotted a bass I've never seen before. Any ideas what this is? And, yes, the miming is hilarious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 Well, that's a new one on me! I kinda like it - it's got very retro pawnshop-type styling and I like the chrome bodystrip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

molan Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I think there's a couple of owners here on BC somewhere. I hear nothing but good about them but, personally, I've never like the looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Here's mine: Unfortunately Reverend aren't currently making any new basses, and according the various Reverend fans on TalkBass they made less than a thousand in total. Nice playing and sounding bass, although the high end neck access isn't as good as I'd like. However I'd definitely buy the Brad Houser model in either Larva Swirl or one of the metallic finishes if one ever come up for sale from someone who was prepared to ship to the UK.

velvetkevorkian Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Are they not made from Formica or something similar (like a kitchen worktop)? Or did I imagine that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Yes. It's a half hollow body, but there is a substantial bit of decent wood down the centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Burpster Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 I would hope you are aware but for those that weren't - the Shania vid is a pastiche of this Robert Palmer Vid from the 80's........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
