Reverend Guitars Mercalli Bass, Feisty Red Overview

The Reverend Mercalli Bass combines vintage-inspired warmth with modern punch, delivering a powerful voice. Custom passive Thick Brick and Split Brick pickups produce deep, authoritative lows with impressive clarity. A korina body provides rich harmonic character and lively response, while the five-piece roasted maple and walnut neck offers outstanding stability and a comfortable playing experience across the full 34-inch scale. Tight grooves, rock rhythms, smooth soul and funk lines... the Mercalli responds with exceptional balance, sustain, and articulation whatever you play.


The Mercalli Bass pairs premium hardware with thoughtful engineering. Hipshot Ultralight tuners improve overall balance by reducing headstock weight, while the substantial high-mass bridge supports both string-through-body and top-load stringing for enhanced sustain. A Boneite nut, six-bolt neck plate, dual-action truss rod, and Pure Tone output jack ensure dependable tuning stability. Combined with its intuitive pickup pan control and smooth-playing neck, the Mercalli offers remarkable versatility, making it an ideal choice for bassists who need one instrument capable of doing it all.

Vintage warmth with modern punch

The Mercalli Bass is equipped with Reverend's custom Thick Brick bridge pickup and Split Brick neck pickup, creating a passive pickup combination that blends vintage warmth with impressive clarity and output. Powerful low frequencies remain tight and controlled, while articulate mids and smooth highs help every note retain its definition. The result is a bass that delivers full-bodied tone with outstanding punch, making it equally suited to rock, funk, blues, pop, jazz, and countless other styles where both power and precision matter.

Resonant construction for exceptional feel

A korina body forms the tonal foundation of the Mercalli, producing balanced resonance, lively harmonics, and impressive sustain. The thin finish allows the body to vibrate more freely, helping every note feel open and responsive. Complementing the body is a five-piece roasted maple and walnut neck, engineered for outstanding strength and long-term stability while requiring less seasonal adjustment. The comfortable Medium Oval profile provides an effortless playing experience across the entire neck.

Professional hardware throughout

Premium hardware enhances every aspect of the Mercalli's performance. Hipshot Ultralight tuners reduce headstock weight to improve balance and playing comfort during long rehearsals and performances. The substantial high-mass bridge increases clarity, sustain, and note attack while allowing both string-through-body and top-load stringing to suit different playing preferences. A Boneite nut, six-bolt neck plate, wide three-string tree, and dual-action truss rod further improve tuning stability, neck alignment, and long-term reliability.

Flexible controls for any performance

The intuitive pickup pan control makes it simple to blend the bridge and neck pickups with precision, allowing you to dial in everything from focused midrange punch to deep, rounded low-end. Premium Alpha pots and polyester capacitors ensure smooth, consistent control response, while the Pure Tone output jack maximises signal integrity with its dual-contact design. Every instrument is individually inspected and hand initialled before leaving the factory, ensuring the Mercalli Bass delivers the dependable craftsmanship, tonal flexibility, and professional performance that demanding bassists expect.
