Reverend

Reverend Triad


Reverend basses takes stylistic influences from 1950s cars and sci-fi movies, and the Triad is no exception. Its 5-piece roasted maple-and-walnut neck has a satin finish that looks and feels like an older bass, and the 34"-scale pau ferro fretboard offers a warm, yet snappy attack. Three proprietary Jazz Bomb pickups and a 5-way switch deliver distinct and versatile voices, making it a go-to bass for stage and session work.
