bassopotamus Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 this would be a good time to snap one up, that way in twenty years it might be worth something...

badgerbass Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 I was sad when I saw this too because I wanted to buy one, but can't afford it now. Looks like I won't be able to get one. I was gassin' for the Rumblefish PJ, btw. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Capasso Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Interesting. The implication is that they are selling enough guitars to continue... Hmmm A bit of market tightening? It's unclear where the parts are made (and I didn't see if they are assembled in the US or not). Tom www.stoneflyrocks.com Acoustic Color Be practical as well as generous in your ideals.

rumpelstiltskin. Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 they're assembled in detroit. i don't know the origin of the parts, but i wouldn't be surprised if they were US-made as well. i have played a rumblefish before and it was pretty sweet. i had some GAS for a lake superior blue one with a maple fingerboard. maybe one day i will own one. robb. because i like people.

Steve Force Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I have spoken with some the Reverend reps at the semi-annual Dearborn Guitar swap. Great guys! Met Kid Rock's guitarist at one of these swaps (as they use Reverend guitars, or at least did at that time).

DONUT Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Boy,that DOES really suck. Cool unique basses. I once was considering a Brad Hauser. I played a used one at GC and it was very comfy and cool. Price was right too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosamiam Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Yee haw! I mean, dammit! I'm just glad I was able to get mine when I did. Aged yellow Rumblefish 5L with maple fingerboard. I love it to death. As long as the company doesn't completely bite the dust I'll be happy. I still need more George L cables, a Reverend T-shirt or two, and they are the best source I've found for strings that fit my bass. Plus I want a guitar from them one of these days. Long live Reverend, even if they don't do basses anymore. Simply put, they are a great American company! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
