It all started for Mike Watt in San Pedro, California. That's where he met D. Boon and George Hurley – who would later form The Minutemen – a band that would inspire legions. Watt went on to form fIREHOSE and play bass for punk royalty with The Stooges, as well as hundreds of projects with musicians around the world. The Reverend Mike Watt Signature Wattplower is the result of a four-year exploration between Watt and Reverend to produce a bass guitar with the perfect balance of sonic explosiveness, supreme playability and ultimately captures a look that is uniquely Watt. The 30" scale, a compact size, along with touches like the Luminlay dots on the side of the neck are perfect for any player used to dark stages and long sets. The Reverend Wattplower features a 3-piece korina neck, a rosewood fingerboard and a Hipshot A Style bridge for intonation and enhanced sustain. Additional Watt-inspired features include an anchor inlay at the first fret and "Wattplower" at the 17th.
