This is my 1964 Epiphone Rivoli (EB-232). I bought it from Chandler Guitars in Kew in August 2012. I don't have the original hard case, just a gig bag unfortunately.
Here's the original spec from the Epiphone catalogue:
[b]Body dimensions: 16"x19"x1[sup]3[/sup]/[sub]4[/sub]"[/b]
[b]Double cutaway[/b]
[b]Scale: 30[sup]1[/sup]/[sub]2[/sub]"[/b]
[b]Frets: 20[/b]
[b]Body joins neck at: 18th[/b]
[b]Pickup: single (Alnico magnetic, according to catalogue) [/b]
[b]Switch: 'Presence Switch' (switches between a baritone and bass characteristic)[/b]
[b]Bridge: metalbar[/b]
[b]Wood: maple[/b]
[b]Fretboard: rosewood[/b]
Information is a bit scarcer than the EB-2 but it's pretty much the same bass. The Rivoli had a choice of a black pickguard with the Epiphone 'E' on it or a tortoise one without the logo. As you can see from the photos there has been an access panel added in the back. This is likely to be because of needing the wiring sorted at some point.
I don't know huge amounts about the bass, I'm no expert by any means just know when something sounds good. As soon as I tried it in the shop I knew it was a good tone and good instrument to play. It has obviously been played a lot over the years which adds to its charm in my opinion.
[color=#ff0000][b]Looking for £1400. (Can't change the listing price). [/b][/color]It's up for sale because I can't afford to keep both this and my Stingray 5 so whichever goes first. Any questions welcome. Possibly open to trade offers.
I will ship if necessary but would rather a collection/local delivery as it doesn't have a hard case. I live near Hammersmith in London.
