\"Reverend<\/p>\n

Mike Watt<\/strong> is such an icon of the instrument that it\u2019s only fitting his signature bass is equally epic. This week we\u2019re checking out the second version of his Wattplower by Reverend Guitars. <\/p>\n

Available in satin emerald green or root beer sparkle finishes, the short-scale bass is built primarily with korina with a fingerboard of Pau ferro. The Mark 2 version of the signature axe is set apart by its unique pickup configuration including Reverend\u2019s Triple P-Blade and Rio Grande Pitbull in the bridge and neck positions, respectively. A three-position switch toggles between the two \u201cP\u201d options and the humbucker. <\/p>\n

Other features include Hipshot Ultralight tuners, a Hipshot A Style bridge, and special Watt-style inlays. <\/p>\n
