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.

Flavored Dog Rubber Balls
Color: H) 2.5" 3-Pack (Beef), Color: H) 2.5" 3-Pack (Beef)
My dog absolutely loves these balls, I have a few more I had already bought, but she has an addiction to them so I had to buy more. I am able to squeeze these really easily so when she does pick them up after I’ve thrown them they’re very easy for her to pick up. They have a good thickness to them so it’s not too flimsy. It’s pretty tough and they bounce pretty high which I like and so does she know she is an aggressive chewer, but I haven’t had an issue yet with her chewing right through these, which is why I like them and we both love the fact that it smells like beef I could practically smell them through the bag, but I have a really high pitched sense of smell, and I knew she was going to love them. Not to mention you can’t beat the price.

Love These Balls
Color: H) 2.5" 3-Pack (Beef), Color: H) 2.5" 3-Pack (Beef)
These are great balls. My Border Collie can destroy a tennis ball in a couple of hours and the Kong brand ball is heavier than I like to play with in the house. These balls hold up to her biting and chewing but are lite weight and softer for bouncing off the walls.

Seems durable - but the scent is not the best
Color: B) 3" 2-Pack (Bacon)
I don't know if I'd call the scent of this "bacon," more like rubber with a hint of bacon. It's very strong. I gave my dog one of the balls & put one in a cabinet where I keep his treats & a few other unrelated odds & ends. I now hold my breath when I open that cabinet b/c good lord, the smell. I'm tempted to just give that one to the dog too, just because it'll air out eventually & then everything else in that cabinet won't smell bad. My dog feels so-so about it. He'll briefly chase after it & chew on it, but loses interest in it pretty fast. My rather hyperactive cat also plays with it from time to time, as he seems to have more interest in most dog toys than the dog these days, so there's that. (Then again, he thinks a wide variety of random items around the house are loads of fun to toss about, so it's possible his opinion is to be taken with a grain of salt. Between the brief periods of one of these balls being chewed on & clawed at, it's stayed completely intact. I think if you have a dog who simply likes to play fetch or chew on rubber balls in general, this one would stand up to the task. But if you're expecting it to be greeted with the enthusiasm as a bacon grease covered ball might be - I'd adjust your expectations.

My dogs favorite toy so far in two years
Color: C) 4" 2-Pack (Bacon)
I use this with my medium sized dog. These are large for him but that's what I want so I don't ever have to think about them being too small or a swallow hazard. He has been through A LOT OF TOYS in the last couple years, but nothing, NOTHING has he loved as much as these. His favorite used to be squeaker balls. Then his favorite was crackle balls. But he will gladly ignore both for this one. I don't know if it's the bacon flavor or what, but he go nuts for it.
