The pickups are blended with a Pan knob, which Reverend says let you go from \u201cfunk to thump and all points in between.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The Decision is built with a korina body and comes in Party Red or Black finishes. On both models, the back and sides are black with cream binding for a classic touch. <\/p>\n<p>The bass has a 34\u2033 scale and bolt-on construction, with a six-bolt plate to keep the neck secure in its pocket and improve sustain. <\/p>\n<p>The neck is a 5-piece laminate with maple and walnut, which is all finished with an amber satin finish while the fingerboard is bound rosewood with a 12\u2033 radius. For hardware, Reverend included a string-thru-body bridge with locking saddles and open gear tuners.<\/p>\n<p>The Reverend Decision carries a street price of about $899.
