    Just put my 1997 Rivoli ( no scratchplate ) on the bathroom scales............9lb 13oz ! I`ve gigged it a few times , does not seem too heavy ! Gap of pickup poles to bottom of strings E and G held down at last fret .........E = 5mm.....G = 4mm Pete

    Hi Jus Lukin , I have a 1997 Rivoli that weighs a ton , made in the Peerless factory , same pickup , coils in parallel but with the choke and different capacitors . Can I ask what height the pickup is - the gap between the top of the poles to the bottom of the G and E strings when held down at the last fret . I have found a great difference in Tone and volume by having the pickup near / far away from strings . I`m working on a bass cut control pot , to try and "tame" the series boom at the moment . Pete

    At the moment I play through my Helix stomp into my Messa D800 ( set flat ) into two Markbass 2x10 cabs . I am looking at going through my Helix stomp , into a full range powered speaker (lightweight) Any suggestions ? Pete

    Hi, I have put a DiMarzio Model One on my 1997 Rivoli . Coils in series , far too "boomy" , but wired in parallel , it is a bit lower output , and has more clarity . I also removed the .02 capacitor from the from the choke , and replaced it with a .100 , and replaced the tone cap ( dont know what it was ) with a .047 . Now that is some improvemet , more to my taste . I use D`Addario Nickel Wound 50 70 85 105 (EXL160S) Sounds great in a Stones Tribute Band . Pete

    Hi, Just got Rivoli back from my local luthier , neck heel crack repaired , you can see it but not feel it . Just noticed , the pickup routing on this one is the size of the pickup, so the whole pickup drops inside the routing ...... very strange , my old one had the routing done for the pickup chrome flange to sit on the surface. Anyhow, I have far more adjustment in height on this one.

    Hi barrycreed , Looks really good , did your Luthier make the string extender , or buy it somewhere ? The pickup on mine , Stock 1997 Peerless factory , is Gotoh , same as the cast bridge , and I am really supprised as to the balance across the strings on output . After reading quite a lot on internet about short scale string gauges , I ended up buying a set of D`Addario EXL160S , I find them really good . Whats the serial number of yours ?

    Bought a DP120BK for a new build project £90 + postage . Project fell through a week later , so pickup not needed . Pickup not even removed from box , all seals intact , so asked Thomann for a return number , as it was not needed . I expected to pay a return postage fee but not the only two that they offered...........DHL Drop off £18 , DHL pick up from house £22 . Basically told them to stuff it , andthat I would get more money selling the pickup on ebay ! I have had a 14 year account with Thomann , but I have now closed it . Daylight robbery ! Pete

    Just took the pup out of my 1997 Rivoli bass to put a bit more packing underneath to raise it up a bit , stamped into the brass plate at the underside of the pup is JAPAN , so either the pup was made in Japan or the brass plate was ! This may be the reason the pup sounds so good ( being made in Japan ) , also now I have the wiring all working - no crackles , button working for the choke etc , be it only a slight difference in sound .

    Just got hold of a Epiphone Ravoli , sunburst . Arrived with a cracked neck joint ( UPS again ) seller is claiming for a repair from them , and has refunded me the repair ammount . NICE ! This one is a 1997 Korean , made at the Peerless Factory . Had one about 10 years ago , and the pickup was crap , changed it for a D`Marzio No1 , but the sound was not suitable for the band I was in , so it had to go . The pickup on this one is superb , balanced output from all strings . not microphonic either . Now playing in a Stones Tribute band , so its gonna fit in perfectly ,

    Mod Dwarf For sale the above, The difficulty I had was trying to adjust things on the unit itself . When you sort out how to the allocate the control knobs ( took me a while to get it right ) its straight foreward . When you use the Graphic User Interface , its very very easy . The quality of the sounds , selection of amps, effects are great , the quality of build , very roadwothy , in my opinion . Nice nifty carry / protection bag, mains power supply and USB cable. It still has the protection film on the screen. Manual and instructions on Internet. The GUI is on their website, so you don`t download , just link up . Price includes UK Mainland Postage

    After almost a week with it , l find that my 74 year old brain cannot cope . It's really great sounding , but far to complex for me , so it will be going up for sale . I will be going back to my HX STOMP , which l can understand , and tweek on the go . Pete
