The Reverend Mercalli 4 bass lets you unleash seismic tones with stunning clarity. Its solid korina body resonates powerfully while active electronics provide flexible EQ control. The five-piece maple and walnut neck sits comfortably in your hands, facilitating fluid playability across the roasted maple fingerboard. This instrument delivers massive low end ideal for any genre.

Thick, Punchy Tones from Korina Wood

The korina body generates deep, rich harmonics with piano-like sustain. Its dense grain produces evenly balanced frequencies so every note rings true. The natural midrange warmth adds girth without muddiness, perfect for dialing in a thick, punchy bassline.

5-Piece Neck Provides Exceptional Stability

At the heart of the Mercalli 4's powerful and articulate tone is its 5-piece roasted maple neck. The multi-laminate construction increases neck stability and rigidity for enhanced sustain and reduced dead spots. Its roasted treatment slightly darkens the wood, creating a sleek aesthetic while hardening the surface. The result is a neck that feels as fast as it looks.

Premium Pickups Offer Versatile Tone

The Split Brick neck pickup and Thick Brick bridge pickup are custom-designed to capture the Mercalli 4's full range. The split-coil neck pickup produces fat low end and focused mids, blending seamlessly with the bridge pickup's thicker tone for balanced output across the frequency spectrum. A pickup pan control lets you dial in the perfect blend to suit any musical style or venue.

Flexible Tone Shaping with Active Electronics

Shape your tone with the 3-band active EQ and volume control. Boost the lows for a seismic rumble, cut the mids for a scooped metal tone or pump the highs for articulate definition. The EQ provides up to 15dB of boost or cut per band so you can achieve a wide range of sounds from a single bass.

High-Mass Bridge Increases Sustain

The Mercalli 4's high-mass bridge is engineered to maximize string energy transfer, resulting in longer sustain and a punchier attack. Its increased mass also helps produce tighter low end and smoother harmonics. The bridge's adjustable saddles allow precise intonation for optimal playability up and down the neck.
