Custom pickups yield versatile tonal options
At Reverend, all pickups are custom crafted to ensure the best tonal complement to their respective instrument. In the case of the Sentinel, the P-Blade enhances the output of highs and lows while capturing that beloved P Bass personality. Not to mention, with unique 3-way voicing, forming the right balance for any musical situation comes easy whether you need bright, normal, or deep tonal qualities. For a single pick-up bass, the Sentinel is more proof that great things come in small packages — of course, you'll soon find there's nothing small about this bass's voice!
Rich tonewoods
Like every Reverend instrument, the Sentinel features a korina body that produces warm lively tones and rich harmonics. A resident of the Set-Neck series, this bass features lightweight functionality, harmonic resonance, and a sturdy neck construction that refuses to warp. Pick it up and you’re ready to log some serious gigging hours or stroll into your next studio session with full confidence.
Meticulous attention to detail
With the Reverend Sentinel's unique 3-way voicing, Pure Tone jack, and high-mass bridge, you’ll soon realize that the devil is truly in the details. Take an even closer look and you’ll notice leading technician Zack Green’s handwritten serial number and initialed seal of approval that's stamped every Reverend instrument that's left their doors since 1998. Guitarists at Sweetwater who have plugged in a Reverend instrument know the name is akin to detail, precision, and decisive dedication.
