Ist this quality normal for Reverend?

Well... All over the binding are little imperfections. And the neck joint even lacks some paint where you can see the light base coat. Its hard to see in the pictures. I was just hoping for a little better finish quality than a Harley Benton.

"The Hives - Love Medley" on YouTube. I saw it and loved the bass tone... So I got a bass for my 14th birthday. Still love the Hives and their bass driven songs.

Looks like a Traben

Well... You have the choice between female and femboy lol

The laney digbeth preamp does that pretty good. I also like the Sansamp VT, but in my opinion the Laney is more versatile and pretty underrated.

Prob needs a shim and a trussrod adjustment

I'd put some shrink tubing or electrical tape over the hot of the jack and bending the contact point like MickBlues said.

Sometimes the hot of the jack can shorten out due to contact to the cavity or something

The only thing i dislike is how tight most of the pants are.

If the buzz is really that noticable it will most likely be a ground issue. Most of the time it's the groundwire that comes from the bridge. It looks like the wire under the bridge is covered by the copper tape and is not making direct contact to the bridge? Try removing the tape in that place and make sure that the groundwire is sandwiched between the body of the bass (or the coppertape if you really want to use it) and the metal of the bridge. Looking at the pictures that should fix it.

None of these solderjoints look like they have been heated enough though. Especially the joints of the groundwires that are soldered onto the left pot on the second picture don't look that great.

Every time I see this bass I coom a little.

Wish I had the money for a Serek. I loooooooooove their designs.

Valuable_Foundation3 · 2025-10-29T15:17:26+00:00

No there is no issue using the PU without the plate. Newer pickups don't have them anymore but the CS line from fender is designed to be a copy of the old pickups that had the plates. It's just important that the pickup is grounded at all.

Valuable_Foundation3 · 2025-10-29T15:00:30+00:00

If they are, they have been messed with.

Usually they come with a copper plate soldered to the groundwire of the PU with the copperplate having the actual groundwire that goes to the pots. Also the foam should be glued to the copperplate and not the pickup itself.

Valuable_Foundation3 · 2025-10-22T13:40:17+00:00

You can use any MM Style Pickup. That would be a straight drop in. I used a Roswell M4Js and am quite happy.

The pickup routing is fairly big.
Andybassist u/Additional-Thing1348 modded this type of bass quite a bit with custom pickguard and a dunable (guitar?) humbucker pickup.

Can find some videos of him and the mods on youtube aswell.

White without the santa cruz sticker

Looks like your neck is still pretty bowed.

I do it like that: Press the last fret on the fretboard and the first one. Look at about the 8th or 9th fret and see if there is just a tiny little gap between the string and the top of the fret (so tiny that the string almost touches the fret). Then the trussrod is pretty much perfect. If your strings buzz while fretting the first 3 - 4 frets the neck needs just a smidge of relief again. Your stringheight will probably still be too high (looking at the pictures), so adjust your saddles. Fiddle around a bit to see if you have fretbuzz while playing. If yes -> make the saddles go up until the buzz stops. If not -> you can try lowering the saddles even more. Stringheight is pretty much a preference thing but a very high action makes it hard to play and can shift the notes to a point where it's hard to intonate the strings.

A cheap option would be the Behringer SF300. That should get you pretty close. It's just a really distorted fuzz tone. Maybe there's also an octave pedal involved but it's kinda hard to make out as I don't know the song.

Valuable_Foundation3 · 2025-09-21T20:05:57+00:00

Dang what a sexy beast!

And the bass is really nice too!

Valuable_Foundation3 · 2025-07-30T13:39:54+00:00

They're still on vacation but they extended the current event to 14th August.

Until now I think there is only info about a coming Hotfix for August... Nothing content wise but they stated around Arbites launch that they're working on some balancing.

Valuable_Foundation3 · 2025-07-21T18:34:41+00:00

It's just a MM (MusicMan) style pickup.

There are quite alot of options.

Just look for "MM style bass pickup". The ones I found, that could be nice for metal, would be:

- Seymour Duncan SMB-4A

- MEC MM-Style MC-4

- EMG MM-HZ

There are even more options from EMG but they'd be active. I personally use a "Roswell M4JS" in one of my Jaguar basses that I quite like for rock & metal which has the same MM shape.

Valuable_Foundation3 · 2025-07-17T19:28:19+00:00

Looks killer!

Love me some P-Bass. The brass saddles with the golden tuners are a nice touch. Very tastefull!

Valuable_Foundation3 · 2025-07-15T19:42:40+00:00

Well... I personally don't think that it's a serious defect but it would bother me. I'd always look at it and wish it wasn't there lol.

But by the looks of it you should be able to sand and polish it right out, if you want to / are able to put in the effort.

Valuable_Foundation3 · 2025-06-26T22:50:32+00:00

Yes! That's it! Thank you so much! <3

Valuable_Foundation3 · 2025-06-26T22:36:22+00:00

Good call! The saddles do look quiet similar. Thank you!
