Reverend basses

Anyone played one of the Reverend basses - now available in lefty. I like the colour and many of the features but I wish it was a more traditional shape. There’s one in a shop not far from me. I might go and have a look sometime.

Used to own a Rumblefish 5-string which was one of the few bolt-on neck 5-strings I've ever liked.

However IMO the Rumblefish is a completely different beast from the current crop of Reverend basses, and AFAICS the body shape is about the most interesting thing about the one shown.

If the OP isn't keen on the styling they would probably be better off buying a decent Squier P and adding a MM pick to it.

Everyone does a 'more traditional' shape. This isn't exactly 'out there' in the design department but at least they've tried to not do yet another Fender clone.

Just watched a Meshell Ndegeocello concert on tv. Sounds great, of course. I like the shape and choice of pickups. A bass with personality.

Do yourself a favour, just go try one. I won't be surprised you get out of the store with one under your arm!!
I can't stress enough how much bass you get for your money.
And those pickups are simply phenomenal, and it's all passive!! what not to love?

Merchant City have an awful website to navigate. Try the search function.

As regards to having almost every model, they dont seem to list the the Jazzy Soul video model, or the one that Meshell is playing.  Maybe they're old models that are no longer made.

They're not on Reverend's own website either

but they have the Lefty!!
They might have an awful site but their pre and post sale customer service (Ali) was outstanding!!

Had a fantastic experience buying from them.

I'll have a lefty Wattplower please, in green. Shortscale, set neck, P-pickup and Hipshot hardware. Looks awesome, like a blend between a Gibson EB-3 and an old school Yamaha BB. 

And here it is! https://www.notreble.com/buzz/2018/10/11/reverend-guitars-unveils-lefty-mike-watt-signature-bass/
