Reverend Guitars Unveils Lefty Mike Watt Signature Bass

Reverend Guitars Mike Watt Signature Lefty Bass Body

Mike Watt’s signature Wattplower bass from Reverend Guitars is now available in a left-handed version, the company has announced. The limited run was created as a gift for another punk rock legend.

“Mike Watt wanted to have one made as a gift for Iggy Pop – a left-handed player,” they write. “Reverend Guitars saw this as an opportunity to make the model available for left-handed players. The model will be limited to 8.”

Everything else on the bass will remain the same as the right-handed version including a shorter 30-inch scale, an adjustable Hipshot A Style bridge, a brass bridge spacer, and a P-Blade pickup. It will come in emerald green.

The Reverend Guitars Lefty Mike Watt Signature Wattplower is available now for $1,449.
