Reverend’s renowned Mercalli bass line enters a new era with the Mercalli 5 Blackout, a supercharged evolution of its 5-string predecessor. This powerhouse pairs a sleek ebony fretboard with a classic korina body and a striking 5-piece maple/walnut neck. Like the original, it draws inspiration from vintage greats while pushing forward with innovation, thanks to its custom Thick Brick and Split Brick pickups that deliver punishing precision and low-end authority. Premium details round it out: a high-mass bridge for enhanced clarity and sustain, a Pure Tone jack for rock-solid signal, and aircraft-grade Hipshot Ultralite tuners for stability without the weight. Put your fingers (or pick) to the Mercalli 5 Blackout and prepare for seismic lows with unrelenting punch.

Custom-built pickup power

Reverend pickups are custom crafted to ensure the best tonal complement to their respective instrument. In the case of the Mercalli 5 Blackout, the Split Brick in the neck position enhances the output of highs and lows — like a P Bass pickup but cleaner and beefier. Conversely, the Thick Brick in the bridge position produces warm mids with a sharp attack, much like an active pickup, but more organic. Both pickups work exceptionally well together, and with a pickup pan control, forming the right balance for any musical situation comes easily.

Rich, resounding tonewoods

Like every Reverend instrument, the Mercalli 5 Blackout features a korina body that produces warm, lively tones and rich harmonics. The 5-piece maple/walnut neck means lightweight functionality and a stunning vintage appearance. This iteration of the Mercalli trades the usual rosewood fingerboard for 21 frets of evocative, expressive ebony — a tonewood celebrated for its unceasing power and precision that punches through every register, with enduring sustain and kaleidoscopic presence. Tie it all together with a 6-bolt neck plate and you’re ready to log some serious gigging hours or stroll into your next studio session with full confidence.

Meticulous attention to detail

With the Reverend Mercalli 5 Blackout's 3-string tree, Pure Tone jack, and high-mass bridge, 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 the initialed seal of approval that's stamped on every Reverend instrument that's left their doors since 1998. Guitarists and bassists here who have plugged in a Reverend instrument know the name is akin to detail, precision, and decisive dedication.

Very Informative, but lacking in one or two areas.
Format: Kindle
I'm disabled and need a better living condition. I'm already on the waiting list for S8 and have been for the last year and a half. The book is informative, but it lacks in some areas. The author seems to think that many on disability have the option to "physically move around" doing chores and visiting offices. I'm a disabled 53 year old man, homebound and just recently lost daytime access to my little truck, only available to me during the weekends and evening hours, and when I do have it, it's rare I drive long distances. I cannot even afford to ride public transportation and have no one else to lean on for support. Also he seems to think that buying donuts/lunch for the whole office is a way in... maybe it's a way in for those that can afford it.. but not for many. Other than that.. it's worth to buy the download of the book itself.

Can be useful for some.
Format: Paperback
This book is an easy read. I read it in one sitting. I found the information interesting, and not boring. Please keep in mind that everyone's situation is different, and not all tips will apply to you. I did find some points useful for future reference. If you're someone who doesn't know much about section 8 you would probably find this book helpful. Overall, I don't regret getting this book.

Great even if you don't use section 8
This a great book even if you aren't planning to use section 8. I learned a lot of things to go on the frugal side to save some money. This guy had 300 homes so you know he was doing something right. It was so interesting to read. Great book...I read it fast and I read it 2 times. I followed a lot of his tips.

Average information
I bought this book in hopes that it might help me with getting insights into the section eight selection system. Mostly common sense, good book for someone completely new to the whole section 8.
