Paired with that body are two custom-designed P-blade configuration pickups that deliver an incredibly huge bass tone that’s hum-free. From chill grooves to funky, punky attacks, the Wattplower MKII’s energetic design is a blast to explore and behold.Huge array of tones on tap Mike Watt’s aggressive, funk-inspired play and positive attitude are legendary in the punk underground. On the Minutemen's classic 1984 LP, Double Nickels on the Dime, listeners can hear the jubilant, percussive attack Watt employs. To tap that distinct tone, Reverend outfitted the Wattplower MKII with custom P-blade pickups. The Mark II Wattplower features a versatile 3-tier P-blade configuration with two different voicings (bridge-biased or neck-biased with the center blade is always engaged) for classic P-style tone with a bump in volume, sustain, clarity, and an extended low-end response. The Mark II also adds one Rio Grande Pitbull in the neck pickup position. The Rio Grande Pitbull is a slightly lower-volume pickup with focused midrange that is ideal for when you want to lay back a bit with a more subtle groove. Plus, Reverend and Mike selected ceramic magnets and 43-gauge wire for the Wattplower MKII’s pickup design, a choice that keeps buzzy hum out of your riffs and grooves!Two-way bridge provides sonic options Mike Watt prefers tight, even string spacing for accommodating his aggressive articulations and funky attack. To meet this need, the R&D team settled on a Hipshot A Style bridge that’s custom modified for use as either a string-through-body or top-loader. Choose string-through for slightly more sustain or change course with a top-loading setup for faster attack and response. The Hipshot bridge is an enduring favorite among bass players here at Sweetwater!Dynamite bells and whistles The Wattplower MKII blends bold playability with sharp looks and features that take bass playing to new heights. A spunky double-cutaway body grants easy access to all 21 frets — an absolute must for expressive players — while the custom ultra-reinforced front-mounted input jack, Luminlay neck dots, and retro-styled volume/tone controls make gear management easy onstage or off. Finally, you’ll appreciate the toned-down Reverend pickguard that shows off more of this bass guitar’s beautiful finish, which is accentuated by bold one-of-a-kind anchor and Wattplower inlays on the first and 19th frets.Reverend Guitars Mike Watt Wattplower MKII 4-string Electric Bass Features: Signature 4-string bass designed in full collaboration with Mike Watt Balanced, lightweight build: a solid korina body and a 3-piece korina neck Outfitted with 3 Reverend pickups and a 3-way selector for incredible hum-free, big bass tone P-style 2-way, 3-blade bridge pickup and one Rio Grande Pitbull humbucker neck pickup Vintage low-profile top-hat knobs Unique fret inlays — Minutemen-style anchor (1st fret) and cursive Wattplower inscription (19th fret) Neck-mounted Luminlay side dots for playing in dark environments Hand initialed and serial stamped for authenticity Hipshot A Style bridge for clarity, attack, and sustain SpecificationDetail Number of Strings 4 Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Body Shape Mike Watt Wattplower MK II Body Material Korina Body Finish Gloss Polyurethane Color Root Beer Neck Material 3-Piece Korina Neck Shape Medium Oval Neck Joint Set Neck Radius 12" Fingerboard Material Rosewood Fingerboard Inlay Dots Number of Frets 21, Nickel Alloy Scale Length 30" Nut Width 1.653" Nut Material Boneite Bridge/Tailpiece Hipshot A Style with String-through body or Top-Load Tuners Hipshot Ultralight Neck Pickup Rio Grande Pitbull Humbucker Bridge Pickup P-Blade Split Single-coil Controls 1 x master volume, 1 x master tone Switching 3-way toggle pickup switch Strings .045-.105 Case Included Hardshell Case RETURN INFORMATION We want you to be completely happy with your purchase from Sweetwater.
