Reverend Guitars is a brand based in the United States that continues to make high quality guitars.
The innovative structure they give to their guitars and their unique designs have the potential to become new standards.
One of the major features of this brand is that they have developed many original hardware such as pickups and bridges and incorporate them into their products.
It can be said that the greatest attraction of Reverend Guitars is the neat balance between such originality and musicality and practicality.
The Mercalli 5 is deep, fat and vintage warm with a distinct B string.
The front pickup is a PB-style "SPLIT BRICK 5 NECK" that produces a deep funk sound, while the rear pickup is an MM-style hum with a warm yet intense middle range and hot punch like an active PU. Equipped with backing pickup, "THICK BRICK 5 BRIDGE".
Both are original designs that use ceramic magnets.
The thick and punchy sound in the front and the clear and open sound in the rear are both practical and have the necessary balance as a bass.
The clear low end when mixing is also very easy to use, and the overall sound design is impressive.
The low B string is a concern for low-price basses, but this model has no such problem.
It can provide a loud low B sound, so it can play a role as a base even in modern ensembles with a lot of notes.
The neck is a 5-piece laminate style using roasted maple and walnut.
The body uses a medium lightweight Korina.
We use a lot of original hardware, but we also incorporate external products at key points, such as using HIPSHOT ULTRALIGHT for the pegs.
A neat design that does not lose its beautiful practicality and musicality while having a strong concept.
There are not many other brands like this, and its ability is certainly appreciated mainly in Europe and the United States.
If you are looking for a highly versatile 5-string bass with a P-bass sound as a motif, this is a model that you should definitely try.
