Reverend Mercalli 5 FM - Coffee Burst Flame Maple

Looking for a bass that delivers a monstrous low end without sacrificing clarity and that elusive vintage warmth? Look no further than the Reverend Mercalli 5 FM! This isn't just any 5-string; it's an earthshaker engineered for serious thump and articulation, and this one sports a stunning Coffee Burst Flame Maple finish. With a five-piece roasted maple and walnut neck, you get incredible stability and sustain, while the Korina body ensures a resonant and lively tone that’s rich in harmonics. Whether you're laying down a solid foundation or tearing through a solo, the Mercalli 5 FM will keep up with your every demand.

The innovative passive pickups are where the Mercalli 5 FM truly shines. Featuring a Thick Brick 5 in the bridge and a Split Brick 5 in the neck, you're armed with a versatile tonal palette.

From strong, fundamental low B notes to punchy mids and clear highs, this bass delivers the goods.
