Three Pickups, Five Strings: Reverend’s Triad 5 Bass Expands Tonal Possibilities
Reverend Guitars has introduced a new addition to their Triad bass lineup with the Triad 5. The latest model adds a fifth string to the design, which is noted for its three pickup configuration.
The Triad 5 is built with a korina body and a five-piece neck of maple and walnut. It has two combinations to choose from: a natural finish with a roasted maple fingerboard or a silver burst finish with a rosewood fingerboard. Each is fitted with block inlays across their 21 frets.
Reverend fits the Triad 5 with three of their Jazz Bomb pickups as well as a five-way selector to toggle between them.
The Reverend Triad 5 is available now for $1,399.
