In other words: expect seismic low-end decadence for days.Custom pickups yield versatile tonal options At Reverend, all pickups are custom crafted to ensure the best tonal complement to their respective instrument. In the case of the Mercalli 5 FM, the Split Brick in the neck position enhances the output of highs and lows — like a P Bass pickup but cleaner and beefier. Conversely, the Thick Brick in the bridge position produces warm mids with a sharp attack much like an active pickup but more organic. Both pickups work exceptionally well together — and with a pickup pan control, forming the right balance for any musical situation comes easy.Rich tonewoods Like every Reverend instrument, the Mercalli 5 FM features a korina body that produces warm, lively tones and rich harmonics. Meanwhile, the roasted maple neck pulls double duty, imbuing your sound with full-spectrum warmth with lightweight functionality and a stunning appearance. Up top, an ebony fingerboard delivers a powerful pairing of precision and panache, conjuring bell-like sustain alongside haymaking punchiness in every register that doesn’t sacrifice definition for presence. Tie it all together with a 6-bolt neck plate, and you’re ready to log some serious gigging hours or stroll into your next studio session with complete confidence.Meticulous attention to detail With the Reverend Mercalli 5 FM's 3-string tree, Pure Tone jack, and high-mass bridge, you’ll soon realize that the devil is truly in the details. Take an even closer look and you’ll notice leading technician Zack Green’s handwritten serial number and initialed seal of approval that's stamped every Reverend instrument that's left their doors since 1998. Guitarists at Sweetwater who have plugged in a Reverend instrument know the name is akin to detail, precision, and decisive dedication.Reverend Guitars: expertly crafted and designed with the player in mind From humble beginnings working out of a Detroit-area garage to worldwide praise and presence on the globe's biggest stages, Reverend Guitars has solidified its place as a reliable source of exquisite guitars and basses.
