Watch
Why it matters
Reverend builds in Korea to construction specifications that usually appear higher up the price scale, and the Decision is the current model carrying the bass range. Sweetwater lists it at $1,299. Earlier Reverend basses, including the Mercalli, are found secondhand, so most comparisons are between a new Decision and an older used instrument.
