Four Strings with an Attitude
On the fence about which bass to add to your collection? Sweetwater can help you make your decision — enter the Mercalli 4 from Reverend's Bolt-On series. Influenced by the classics and enthused by innovation, this beautifully designed bass features custom-crafted Thick Brick and Split Brick pickups as well as a sturdy, lightweight construction and a richly resonant korina body. High-end appointments abound, including a high-mass bridge for clarity and sustain, a Pure Tone jack for a reliable signal, and aircraft-grade aluminum Hipshot Ultralite tuners. Lay your fingers (or pick, if you will) on the Mercalli 4 and you’ll never know what hit you. 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 4, 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 4 features a korina body that produces warm lively tones and rich harmonics. The 5-piece roasted maple neck means lightweight functionality and a stunning vintage appearance. 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 full confidence.
Meticulous attention to detail
With the Reverend Mercalli'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.
