A thick-sounding short-scale bass with versatile tonal shaping and easy playability.
The Reverend Sentinel electric bass lets you shape thick, resonant tones with its versatile yet simple controls. Its solid Korina body and neck provide a balanced sound with clear lows and singing highs. The P-Blade humbucker, designed by Reverend founder Joe Naylor, extends the bass range for deep, full tones. A 3-way voicing switch offers three distinct settings—bright, normal and deep—so you can quickly adapt to any musical situation.
Short Scale Offers Comfortable Playability
The Sentinel's 30" scale length makes it comfortable for any player. The reduced string tension requires less hand strength, allowing you to play complex lines with ease. Despite its short scale, the Sentinel produces impressively deep lows thanks to its humbucker and solid Korina body. You get the best of both worlds with piano-like playability and thunderous tone.
Premium Components Built to Last
Reverend basses are renowned for their high quality and reliability. The Sentinel features a graphite-reinforced neck, sturdy Hipshot tuners and a solid high-mass bridge. These pro-level parts allow precise tuning and intonation for consistent performance. The Sentinel is also finished in an ultra-durable Midnight Black polyurethane for lifelong protection. When you buy a Reverend, you're buying an instrument that will serve you well for years to come.
Simple Controls Shape Your Sound
Despite its single pickup, the Sentinel offers tonal versatility through its minimal controls. The volume and tone knobs let you blend treble and bass frequencies to your liking. The 3-way voicing switch provides three distinct settings: bright, normal and deep. In bright mode, the highs are accentuated for extra cut and punch. Normal offers a balanced tone with clear articulation. Deep mode boosts the low mids and bass for extra warmth and girth. With just these simple controls, you can dial in the perfect tone for any song or style.
