1997 Epiphone Rivoli Reissue bass with hard case. A great playing and sounding bass in lovely condition. All original with no mods (other than a mod bar for the strings). A few light scratches, some tarnishing on the bridge, but nothing major condition wise. A reluctant sale. £750 collected from Beccles, Suffolk. I have a box so could pack up for a courier.

Apart from the bridge and the E logo on the scratchplate this looks pretty spot-on to the '64 Rivoli that I bought in about 1972. I did two shameful things to that bass; the first thing was just too awful to recount a forum like this and the second was selling it about twenty years ago. GLWTS.

I don’t think you can write something like that without elaborating......

I cringe with embarrassment now but I was young and basses like the Rivoli were seen by some as a bit dated by the early/mid seventies. I took a chisel to it and added a bridge pickup. Actually, it didn't look bad and it sounded fine but its originality was lost forever. If I'd had the sense to leave it alone and hang on to it then it would be worth quite a bit now, I suppose, as it had the original hardcase too. I was never bothered by the shorter scale but the intonation was a bit iffy with that bar bridge. I don't think any pictures survive.
