Reverend Guitars Decision Sandstone – Modern Tone, Classic Feel

The Reverend Guitars Decision Sandstone delivers the flexibility of a premium PJ bass with forward-thinking hardware and electronics. With a solid Korina body and a five-piece roasted maple/walnut neck, this model achieves both a distinctive tone and outstanding durability. The proprietary P-Blade neck pickup and Jazz Bomb bridge pickup—controlled by a unique pickup pan knob—let players move from percussive funk to vintage-style thump without excess noise. Standing out in the modern bass category, it provides a lightweight design and refined construction that suit the needs of demanding performers. Musicians seeking reliability and sonic variety for stage or studio work will find this instrument up to the task.

Unique Features for Professional Performance

Two proprietary pickups, the P-Blade and Jazz Bomb, supply a range of tones rarely heard in passive basses. Neck construction features five-piece roasted maple/walnut for added stability, plus a rosewood fingerboard and premium fretwork, all optimized by PLEK fret leveling for smooth playability.

Neck and Body – Player Comfort and Response

Comfort and resonance are prioritized in the neck and body construction. The roasted maple and walnut neck resists warping, while the solid Korina body helps keep the bass light (about 3.7 kg) for less fatigue during long sessions.

• Body Material: Korina solidbody — lively resonance and balanced tone define this build.
• Neck construction uses five pieces of roasted maple and walnut, resulting in improved tuning stability and resistance to environmental changes.
• Fingerboard: Rosewood, 12" radius (305 mm) — smooth playing and confident fretting for every style.

Pickups and Controls – Tonal Flexibility

Blending between the P-Blade neck and Jazz Bomb bridge pickups with the pan control lets players access a wide tonal spectrum, from percussive funk to classic thump, instantly. Passive electronics minimize noise while preserving dynamic response.

• Pickups: P-Blade (neck), Jazz Bomb (bridge) — engineered for broad sonic range and clarity.
• Controls include volume, tone, and a pickup pan—quickly accessible on stage for immediate sound changes.
• Frets: 21 — range for expressive playing without crowding the neck.

Hardware – Stability and Setup

Professional-grade hardware ensures reliability for any gig. The bridge can be strung through the body or as a top-load, and Hipshot Ultralite tuners keep headstock weight low, reducing neck dive and improving sustain.

• Bridge: High-mass, string-thru or top-load — sustain is maximized and setup options are flexible.
• Hipshot Ultralite tuners minimize headstock weight, preventing neck dive.
• Nut: 42 mm Boneite — offers precise string spacing and durability over time.
