Description

The Reverend Thundergun Special Bass in Metallic Bordeaux brings back the cult-favourite Thundergun with a sharper, more refined edge. A solid Korina body, five-piece roasted Maple and Walnut neck, and Reverend Split Brick / Thick Brick pickups combine to deliver a huge, commanding low end with the clarity and punch modern players demand. From rock and metal to alternative and indie, this bass is built to anchor the mix with authority and style. Visually striking and sonically devastating, the Thundergun Special pairs its sleek, bound body with a smooth forearm contour for long, comfortable sessions on stage or in the studio. The high-mass bridge and string-thru or top-load options give you precise control over feel and response, while the intuitive Volume, Tone and Pickup Pan controls make it easy to dial in everything from tight, focused growl to wide, enveloping thump. Revamped Thundergun Attitude The Thundergun Special takes everything players loved about the original and refines it for today. The Metallic Bordeaux finish and clean, pickguard-free look give it a bold, modern aesthetic, while the white body binding frames the Korina body for a premium, stage-ready presence. It is a bass that looks as powerful as it sounds, and instantly stands out under the lights. Powerful Split Brick and Thick Brick Pickups Reverend’s Split Brick neck pickup and Thick Brick bridge pickup are voiced for deep, muscular lows and clear, defined mids that cut through dense mixes. Blend them with the Pickup Pan control to move seamlessly from vintage-inspired warmth to aggressive, forward punch, all while retaining note definition and articulation across the fretboard. Stable Five-Piece Neck for Confident Playing The five-piece roasted Maple and Walnut neck is built for strength, stability and a smooth playing feel. The roasting process helps resist environmental changes, while the dual-action truss rod lets you fine-tune the neck relief to your preference. Combined with the medium oval profile and Rosewood fretboard, you get a fast, comfortable neck that encourages confident playing in any register. High-Mass Bridge with Flexible Stringing Options The bridge allows for both string-thru-body and top-load stringing, so you can tailor the feel and response to your playing style. String-thru-body can enhance sustain and a tighter attack, while top-load offers a slightly looser, more immediate feel. Either way, the solid hardware and chrome finish provide reliable performance and a crisp, professional look. Key Features Solid Korina Body – Korina is renowned for its rich, resonant tone with a strong midrange presence, helping your lines sit perfectly in the mix. The solid construction gives the Thundergun Special a lively, responsive feel under the fingers. Five-Piece Roasted Maple/Walnut Neck – The multi-piece construction and roasted Maple provide excellent stability and resistance to warping. This means consistent playability and tuning performance, gig after gig and session after session. Reverend Split Brick / Thick Brick Pickups – Purpose-designed bass pickups deliver a deep, commanding voice with clarity and punch. From smooth, rounded neck tones to aggressive bridge growl, they cover a wide range of genres with ease. Pickup Pan with Simple Controls – The Volume, Tone and Pickup Pan layout keeps everything intuitive and fast. You can blend between the neck and bridge pickups on the fly, shaping your sound without getting lost in complex switching.

About the manufacturer

Reverend Guitars

Reverend Guitars are one of those brands that quietly stand out once you discover them. Founded by Joe Naylor, they blend classic guitar inspiration with genuinely useful modern improvements. What we really like about Reverend is how thoughtful the designs are — familiar shapes, but refined for real players. Features like the Bass Contour control give you extra tonal flexibility, letting you tighten or roll off low end without changing guitars, which makes them far more versatile than they first appear.

Build quality is another big win. Most Reverend guitars use Korina bodies for a warm, resonant tone while keeping things comfortable to play, and they tend to feel gig-ready straight out of the box. Tonally they cover a lot of ground — from indie and blues to rock and heavier styles — with models like the Double Agent, Sensei, and Charger each offering their own character. If you want something that stands out from the usual choices but still feels instantly playable, Reverend is well worth exploring.
