The Reverend Mike Watt Wattplower MKII Bass in Root Beer Sparkle is a bold, no-nonsense short-scale built for feel, punch, and personality. Designed in collaboration with Mike Watt, this signature model leans into simplicity and function, delivering a stripped-down approach that still feels incredibly intentional. The korina body keeps things resonant and lively, while the compact 30” scale gives it a tight, focused response that sits perfectly in the pocket.
In hand, it feels fast and comfortable, with the 3-piece korina neck offering a solid, balanced grip and a smooth playing surface across the rosewood fingerboard. The shorter scale length makes it easy to navigate, whether you’re locking into grooves or moving quickly up the neck, while details like Luminlay side dots keep visibility strong on darker stages. It’s a bass that feels immediate and responsive, built to keep up with real-world playing.
Tonally, the custom Thumpbucker and P-Blade pickup pairing gives you a wide, usable range—from thick, foundational low end to more aggressive, cutting tones when you need presence. The 3-way switching keeps things simple but effective, letting you dial in the right voice without overthinking it. Paired with the Hipshot A-style bridge and Ultralight tuners, it delivers strong sustain, excellent balance, and dependable tuning stability.
Finished in a rich Root Beer Sparkle, this Wattplower MKII has a look that’s equal parts classic and rebellious, perfectly matching its attitude. Thoughtful touches like the anchor inlay, custom jack plate, and hand-initialed build details reinforce its player-first design. It’s a working musician’s bass through and through—focused, expressive, and ready for the stage—available now at Haggerty’s Music.
