The Reverend Mike Watt Signature Wattplower MKII bass guitar gives you the deep tone and punchy playability that the iconic punk rock bassist demands. Its korina body and 3-piece laminated korina neck provide a solid yet lightweight feel with rich, balanced tone. The 12" radius rosewood fingerboard allows smooth transitions and comfortable chording, while the Hipshot A bridge offers rock-solid intonation and string-thru-body sustain. With a P-Blade bridge pickup and Thumpbucker neck pickup, you'll have a wide range of tones at your fingertips. This signature model is a working musician's instrument built for attitude and performance.
Iconic Shape and Construction
The Wattplower MKII's radical pointed body shape is instantly recognizable and meant for high-energy playing. Its korina construction gives you a resonant tone with piano-like bass and crisp highs. The 3-piece laminated korina neck provides strength and stability for aggressive techniques. With its 30" scale length, 42mm nut width and 21 medium jumbo frets, this neck offers a familiar feel for bassists and fluid playability.
Versatile Pickups for Any Genre
This signature bass features a P-Blade bridge pickup for a punchy, articulate tone and a Thumpbucker neck pickup for deep lows and growl. With the 3-way toggle, you can select the P-Blade alone for rock and punk or blend it with the Thumpbucker for a wider range of tones. The Thumpbucker by itself provides a warm, full tone perfect for any music style. A master volume and tone control allow you to fine-tune your sound.
Road-Ready Parts
The Wattplower MKII includes high-quality components to handle the demands of touring and recording. Its Hipshot A bridge provides accurate intonation and the choice of string-thru-body or top-load tailpiece. The tuners are lightweight yet stable Hipshot Ultralights. It has a synthetic Boneite nut for smooth string sliding, Alpha pots for consistent performance and durable poly caps. And its Anchor inlay and custom jack plate give it signature MikeWatt style.
