Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
The round, full, tubby tone of a semi-hollow shortscale bass is a sound all its own. While most you'll find in this class usually feature somewhat woody mid-focused pickups, the Dub King, with a split-coil and a humbucker, has oomph and power to provide more low-end rumble while still offering up plenty of clarity. With a rectangular hardshell case no longer avaiable from Reverend!
SP Luthier Notes: Setup
From Reverend Guitars
The Dub King produces the thick, deep tone you'd expect from a short scale neck and semi-hollow body. But unlike most basses of this type, it has excellent clarity and sustain thanks to the five-piece neck and string-thru-body bridge with locking saddles. You can even solo the Split Brick neck pickup for super deep thump, and the split pole design keeps it focused. The pan control allows you to blend between the bridge and neck pickups using only one knob, so dialing in your tone is quick and easy.
