The lefty Trickshot features a lightweight Korina body with resonant tone and rich harmonics which give it a highly-prized midrange bump.

The Reverend Decision P is loaded with a P-Blade pickup at the neck and a Jazz Bomb pickup at the bridge in conjunction with a pickup pan control making this super versatile covering anything from percussive funk to focused thump, and everything in-between with just the twist of a knob. The pickups combined deliver extended highs and lows with incredible punch and sustain.

Featuring a lightweight and comfortable Korina body with a gorgeous roasted maple neck, the new Decision has the harmonic richness, thunderous tone, and silky smooth playability that any bass player will appreciate, with the lockdown bridge that enhances clarity and attack, producing bell-like sustain.
