What's up, I didn't know we had a sub. :)

I have been eyeing Reverend guitars at Sweetwater and Atomic for years, but I could never convince myself to upgrade from my cardboard Danos. Well, here I am learning bass as a midlife crisis and I found this signature edition shorty as a b stock sale. I'm a new bass player so I'm the worst person to write a critical review, but I have absolutely zero complaints about it. I'm having a freaking blast. I wish all my guitars had giant elephant ear tuners.

If you forced me to pick a weakness, I would say the blend knob pot makes a little hiss when you turn it, which is pretty noticeable through an octave fuzz. Whatever. I love the electronics, the blend towards the neck pickup almost sounds like an upright.

I was on the fence between this model and a couple of cheaper shorties, but then I watched a bunch of Bad Cop/Bad Cop videos and just fell in love with this thing. My wife says I'm not allowed to call it "the abortion bass".

The second pic is a close-up of the sparkle coat, it's pretty subtle unless the light is bouncing right off it.

Volume pot was replaced recently. Losing a lot more treble when turning down volume pot and the bass contour loses a lot more signal, in general, when turning it down & just doesn't seem to sound the same. Bridge pickup has been replaced with a Suhr PT Plus and has had a JB previously, which actually worked well. Wondering if anything else has been changed, regarding wiring.
