Duroc17 Posted October 7, 2024 Posted October 7, 2024 (edited) I really wanted to keep this, but it's too small for my fat fingers and imprecise fingering - look at it, it's one of the most purdy looking basses i've ever had The bass end you can get out of this is huge - i could feel it vibrating my legs at rehearsal, the drummer was very impressed - great for palm muting due to comfortable bridge, Macca stuff all day. Jamerson too. Not so good if you're a Jaco head (maybe if you had zingy rounds on it), which I'm not. But loads of old school mojo but modern touches - if this was 34 inch then it'd be perfect. Very lightweight approx 7lbs, with nice glassy neck, very very comfortable to play, zero frets sticking out, balances on a strap great. Noiseless pups, which are responsive with a great blend knob. 42mm nut width, Brand new La Bella LFTs on it - and the very nice rounds it came with in bag. Comes with deluxe padded Fender bag - which is worth it for the carrying handle alone, very nice - will be getting another of these for next bass. Comes with case candy, inspection list, and all that good stuff.

Shaft Nut42mm width, Boneite ControlsVolume, Tone, Pickup Pan Strings45-105 Really well made, well done Reverend - just tad too small for me - when you know, you know - so would like to put the money towards the periwinkle Triad that keeps taunting me. This bass will easily become their go to bass. Final Price rock bottom - Priced to sell, no offers please, losing cash on it as is, Reverend make a 34 inch version of this with the Triad neck please! Pick up in Clitheroe or can meet up to an hours drive or UK posted will be very well packaged Edited October 31, 2024 by Duroc17 Withdrawn 6
Duroc17 Posted October 10, 2024 Author Posted October 10, 2024 Ordered the periwinkle Triad - with the new soft case. Merchant City doing set up with TI flats before it leaves shop too. Really great customer service and a wee discount Definitely on the Reverend train - was really impressed with the quality of the Dub King
Frank Blank Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 I don't suppose anyone has one of these nearby (Essex or surrounding counties) I can try out? It's a long way to Clitheroe on a whim!
BassApprentice Posted October 30, 2024 Posted October 30, 2024 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? 1

Great bass just daft ergonomic choice. So keeping the Dub King for now - it’s a fun bass to noodle on
