Reverend Mercalli 5 - 5 String Bass in Citrus Cream

At the heart of the Mercalli 5 are Reverend’s own Thick Brick 5 Bridge and Split Brick 5 Neck pickups, designed for punchy lows, defined mids, and smooth highs. The result is a sound that’s full and vintage-inspired, yet versatile enough for any style. A six-bolt neck joint adds strength and stability, while the medium-oval neck profile and Rosewood fingerboard offer a comfortable, fast feel.

Top-tier hardware completes the setup. The high-mass bridge allows both string-through and top-load options, and lightweight Hipshot Ultralite tuners keep the headstock perfectly balanced. Every instrument receives a full professional inspection and setup before dispatch, ensuring your Mercalli 5 is ready to perform straight out of the box.
