The Reverend Triad Jazz Bass! (Review)

[@more_me_than_I_am]

one thing I liked is that every pickup selector position had even output volume 🙂

[@joninawhitecoat]

Excellent review, really showed the full range of tones on the instrument. I think it would handle some fuzz and drive really well.

[@davejones7475]

Now this is interesting! Awesome review young man, and excellent playing 🎉

[@eckie4679]

Would love to get one - doesn’t seem readily available in the UK though 🤔

[@guillermomoreira5601]

Everytime I see a bass with 3 pickups, I wish it sounds like a Gibson G3

[@nickpicc]

I tried another reverend with the same body shape and found it uncomfortable to play sitting down in the lap. Was great on a strap though

[@WowIndescribable]

Beautiful bass in all the ways! It's nice to see something genuinely original in this world of copycats. Excellent review, thank you.

[@ajwalton_19]

really great review, thanks! I just put a deposit on one of these Triads based on watching your video. Cheers!

[@jasonscott5798]

I know its asking allot, BUT, any chance of hearing it with a set of flats? I bet this bass would shine with some La Bellas on it!

[@DrCheeks]

Hey brother, nice playing and great review. That’s a really nice bass, really cool aesthetics and sound. I’d prefer clover shaped tuners; my singular (tiny) gripe of this gorgeous instrument. 🤘🏻

[@longdongbongchong]

Great review Sean! I'll tell you what - at the same price point, I'd take this over a Mexican Fender any day. I had a Mercalli 5 - Reverends are legit and have the best OEM pickups IMO of any "mass manufacturer".

[@cristianvallesi5760]

Por el mismo precio me quedo con un ibanez o un rock bass by warwick que te rompe la cabeza.....

[@nsalaza]

Cool bass! But I wish it had two extra pickup selection options: front and rear pickups together, and all three together.

[@GCKelloch]

You can just replace one of the pots with a P/P wired to directly engage either the bridge or neck PUP for that. I've done it on a few guitars.

[@neepheid]

Or fit a Freeway 10 way switch - it replaces the stock blade switch and gives you two banks of five settings. Neck and bridge together (both series and parallel) are available.

[@martinheath5947]

Great sounding and looking bass. The only thing I dont like stylistically is the added pointy bit on the headstock (I know, copyright) but the thing which would bug me most us the position of the control panel. I would have placed it an inch further down and an inch further back because there's easily enough room and it would even look better imo. I'd be accidentally hitting the selector switch all the time 😢 Edit: Three buttons and the option of neck+bridge even all three at once. Why not?

[@och70]

Overall, it looks like a slightly pointier Fender Jaguar bass with an extra pickup.

[@ooinvsaoo]

For me the pickup selector is this bass’ miss. Id rather have either individual switches like on a bassVI or a 3way with a push pull to add in the middle

[@DirtyHairHaloCrowe]

Love my Reverend Meshell Ndegeocello bass, but the frets are pretty sharp. Thought that would have been taken care of before it was shipped out.

[@och70]

Sharp fret ends in the price range for these Reverend basses are completely unacceptable. Did you contact them about it?

[@tylertownsend36]

I think replacing the 5-way switch on this with a 6-way adds the neck-bridge combination back as an option, which is the more "normal" jazz bass tone.

[@souldreamer9056]

Or, they could have just changed position 3 from mid pickup to neck+bridge.

[@gtirard]

Great demo, thanks!

[@paulbradley8654]

Position 3 with the double stop then hit the pickup selector.Nice move🤛✅

[@cedricjacobs4917]

Dude replace that 5 way selecter with 2 toggle switches; first switch for both the neck $ bridge pickups,2 switch for the middle pickup -off-on with the other 2 pickups and on alone 😊

[@admarhermans1]

Old school Reverend shape! Great!!

[@monkeyking617]

Sick tones 🤘🏼

[@yocraigst]

No position 6: all three?!?

[@idiotburns]

You are in Seattle?

[@BassGearMagazine]

Yep!

[@idiotburns]

@@BassGearMagazine I love to get you guys to try out the basses I make!

[@ludovicvanb9713]

Can't get how the tone pot wasn't used.

[@ObraBass]

A lot of pops from my speakers while you playing (cool bass though)

[@rsantoz]

What A TONE!

[@sync1216]

Cool bass, enjoyed the 2nd and 4th positions the most. But sure is nice to have them all. On another note, when making a review like this, please start exploring the tonal options via tone poti first. Instead of putting them at the end( 13:17 ).

[@MG-vo7is]

Sounds great!

[@davidhull6332]

Really nice bass lines 🙂

[@Loki_Morningstar666]

I like positions 2 and 4 the best

[@johnjames1813]

Very nice bass

[@joshuaowens5228]

Well I guess I’ve got one more on the list now.

[@1234drums]

Cool one ❤❤❤❤

[@andyronayne7947]

That would look even better with a reversed headstock, like they do on their 6 strings.

[@RH-xs8gz]

It’s not exactly a great looking instrument, but it sounds great!

[@CombinatorMusic]

🙌🙌🙌

[@LL-bl8hd]

The price is less than I expected.

[@marloncarbone2450]

Why are you calling the positions in opposite order?

[@joninawhitecoat]

Positions on piclup selectors are usually front (neck) pickup would be pickup position 1. How it was described made perfect sense.

[@marloncarbone2450]

@@joninawhitecoat, interesting. In my 36+ years of playing, it has ALWAYS been the other way around (where pos. 1 was the bridge). Somehow, in 36+ years, that just changed over night.
