1963 Epiphone Rivoli. Its had a refinish in black. Someone had previously stuck a second mud bucker in the bridge position so thats been filled and a gibson EB2 style humbucker fitted instead. The Bridge, tuners, strap buttons and mud bucker pick are all 60s period. The wiring harness is top quality modern stuff wired by Howard the Bass Doc. Configuration is now with a toggle switch instead of the bass boost button so more variation can be made between pickups. The back has also has a custom cover made for the wiring cavity. Strung with flatwounds. Comes with a modern Epiphone Rivoli case worth £100 on its own! Beautiful bass but I’m a fender man and it needs to be played. Very rare to find! £1300. Washington. No trades. Will get some better pix up soon.
