This Short-scale Bass Packs a Punch
Cultivate your low-end tone in style with one of Sweetwater’s favorite short-scale basses: the Reverend Sentinel. With its 30-inch scale length, this bass guitar is comfortable to play and a boatload of fun. A Reverend-designed P-Blade pickup with a 3-way tone switch makes it easy to cultivate a range of tonal options. The body of this bass is cut with a unique body shape from korina, a tonewood lauded for its consistency and lively response. Paired with a 3-piece korina neck, the Sentinel is prepared to anchor the low end with power and precision. With a medium oval neck carve, a rosewood fingerboard, and a 12-inch fingerboard radius, the Reverend Sentinel frets well under the hand, whether you opt for quick grooves or experiment with chordal structures. Lastly, features like a string-through body, a Boneite nut, and Hipshot Ultralite tuners keep the low frequencies nailed down like the reliable workhorse it is — give the Sentinel a shot today!

Custom pickups yield versatile tonal options
At Reverend, all pickups are custom-crafted to ensure the best tonal complement to their respective instrument. In the case of the Sentinel, the P-Blade enhances the output of highs and lows while capturing that beloved personality of a classic single-pickup bass. Not to mention, with unique 3-way voicing, forming the right balance for any musical situation comes easily, whether you need bright, normal, or deep tonal qualities. The Sentinel is more proof that great things come in small packages — of course, you’ll soon find there’s nothing small about this bass’s voice!
Meticulous attention to detail
With the Reverend Sentinel’s unique 3-way voicing, Pure Tone jack, and string-through body, you’ll soon realize that the devil is truly in the details. Take an even closer look, and you’ll notice leading technician Zack Green’s handwritten serial number and initialed seal of approval that’s stamped on every Reverend instrument that’s left the company’s doors since 1998. Bassists at Sweetwater who have plugged in a Reverend instrument know the name is akin to detail, precision, and decisive dedication.
