Original  Epiphone Rivoli bass , made in Kalamazoo. The serial number dates it from 1964 or 1965. I'm putting it out there for sale to see if there is any interest in this highly collectable and playable bass. It's in great condition considering its age with some belt rash marks on the back as shown in the photo below and the occasional ding elsewhere. The neck is very straight and playable and all electrics work as they should.  It comes with a period Baldwin hard case, also in very good condition.

I've now taken the pots out to confirm the age as 1964. With the pots and scratch plate removed the original sunburst paint finish can be seen, which was much more extensive than the present faded effect. I much prefer how it looks now!

 

I'll probably let this go to a dealer if I don't get any interest soon, so go on - make me an offer

I've now put this up for sale on commission at Vintage and Rare Guitars in Bath if anyone is interested. It is also listed on their web site. The shop is always worth a visit if visiting Bath even though they mainly have guitars and valve amps these days
