Reverend Guitars Triad 5 Baked Orange – Maximum Versatility in a 5-string Bass

The Reverend Guitars Triad 5 Baked Orange brings an impressively broad tonal palette for modern bassists. Outfitted with three proprietary Jazz Bomb pickups and a unique 5-way selector, this instrument covers everything from classic thump to contemporary punch, all while drawing attention with its vibrant Baked Orange finish. The Triad 5 is engineered for those who need both sonic flexibility and robust performance from their bass.

Standout Features: Premium Materials and Unique Electronics

What sets this model apart is the trio of Reverend’s hum-cancelling Jazz Bomb pickups, which allow five switchable voices and noiseless operation regardless of setting. Its solid Korina body is prized for lively response and rich harmonic content, while the high-mass bridge with dual loading options provides both punchy attack and extended sustain.

Professional Hardware for Reliable Performance

When it comes to hardware, the Triad 5 is all about pro-level reliability and comfort. Hipshot Ultralight tuners keep tuning stable and lighten headstock weight, resulting in better balance. Players will notice the Boneite nut and six-bolt neck plate further enhance sustain and durability, keeping the instrument stable through aggressive playing and climate changes.

• Tuners: Hipshot Ultralight, 20:1 — ultra-light design keeps neck balanced for long gigs.
• Nut Material: Boneite — synthetic bone offers smooth tuning and low friction.
• With a six-bolt neck plate, the connection between neck and body is tighter, supporting improved sustain and alignment.

Tonewoods and Neck Construction for Tone & Feel

The Triad 5 features a solid Korina body and a five-piece roasted maple/walnut neck, resulting in excellent sustain and comfortable playability. The roasted maple process increases neck stability and limits the need for seasonal adjustment, while a 12" (305 mm) radius rosewood fingerboard provides a fast, smooth playing surface across 21 medium frets.

• Body: Solid Korina — rich, resonant tone with a lightweight feel.
• Neck: 5-piece Roasted Maple/Walnut — stability and classic look.
• This instrument’s rosewood fingerboard, with its 12" (305 mm) radius, is comfortable and highly responsive under your hands.

Electronics and Versatile Switching Options

At the core of its versatility are three custom Jazz Bomb pickups (ceramic magnets, steel rails) that can be combined via a five-way blade switch, covering deep lows to crisp highs. The Studio Switch function expands the range of available pickup combinations, making it suitable for any genre or playing style.

• Pickups: 3 x Reverend Jazz Bomb split-coil — hum-free clarity at every setting.
• Switching: 5-way blade — easy access to five distinct tones.
• The high-mass bridge is designed for either string-thru-body or top-load setup, so you can tailor sustain and response as needed.

Who Is It For?

This model is built for bassists needing maximum tonal flexibility on stage or in the studio. Session musicians, gigging pros, and creative home recordists who play funk, rock, soul, or experimental music will appreciate the advanced switching system and premium build that support reliable performance and standout looks.
