Reverend Guitars Triad 5 Army Green – Pure Versatility in a 5-String Bass

The Reverend Guitars Triad 5 Army Green redefines what a 5-string bass can offer, blending classic styling with cutting-edge features. With its three Jazz Bomb pickups and 5-way selector, players experience unmatched tonal flexibility for both live and studio work. This model's Korina solid body and unique roasted maple/walnut neck deliver a harmonically rich, responsive feel. The Triad 5 Army Green excels in the hands of modern musicians needing punchy fingerstyle, articulate slap, or deep, growling grooves. What sets the Triad 5 apart is its smart engineering and the unmistakable Army Green finish.

Features that Set the Triad 5 Apart

Among its most distinctive elements are the trio of Jazz Bomb single-coil pickups—developed specifically for the Triad series—working with a five-way selector for rapid access to a wide spectrum of bass tones. Its Korina body resonates with warmth and clarity, while block inlays and chrome hardware catch the eye on any stage.

Player-Centric Neck & Comfort

A medium C profile on the five-piece roasted maple/walnut neck, combined with rolled fingerboard edges, ensures a comfortable playing experience. The satin finish on the neck provides a "broken-in" feel for fast movement, and Hipshot Ultralight tuners reduce headstock weight to improve balance and minimize neck dive.

• Neck: 5-piece roasted maple/walnut, medium C profile — stability and comfort for all hand sizes
• Fingerboard: Maple or rosewood, 12" (305 mm) radius — easy string bends and smooth playability
• Nut Width: 47 mm, Boneite material — precise string spacing for confident fretting

Tonal Range & Electronics

Dialing in your sound is effortless thanks to the five-way selector and three custom Jazz Bomb pickups, offering everything from fat, focused lows to snappy, articulate highs. With passive tone control using boutique-grade pots and capacitors, you can make nuanced adjustments to fit any mix or genre.

• Pickups: Three proprietary Jazz Bomb single-coils — versatile sound for slap, fingerstyle, or pick
• Controls: Volume, tone, 5-way switch — rapid access to five unique voices
• Passive electronics are built with 10% pots and poly caps, ensuring reliable performance and subtle tonal shaping session after session.

Build, Hardware & Performance

Structural reliability is guaranteed by the six-bolt neck plate, dual-action truss rod (with easy headstock access), and a bridge designed for both string-thru-body and top-load stringing. The thin, UV-cured gloss finish frees the Korina body to resonate, resulting in a lively, responsive bass. Pure Tone jack and custom dome knobs contribute to durability and user satisfaction.

• Body: Korina solidbody — lightweight yet harmonically rich
• Bridge: String-thru-body or top-load with 19 mm spacing — supports sustain and setup flexibility
• Tuners: Hipshot Ultralight, 1/2" shaft — secure tuning and reduced neck dive
