Epiphone
Rivoli VC
Reissue
EB-O Bass
Up for consideration is a very nice, 1996 EPHPHONE Rivoli Reissue bass --upgraded with a DiMarzio Model One pickup. This is an excellent example of the very high-quality 1990's Korea reissue of the original Epi Rivoli. The original bass was absolutely fantastic, save the underwhelming stock Epi pick-up, which has been upgraded to the DiMarzio Model One. Now, the bass is a quality sounding professional instrument, with incredible tone, and playability. Here is a great chance to pick one up for just half the cost of the vintage Epi originals!!!

CONDITION
The Epi Rivoli Reissue is in excellent condition, and has been a stellar short-scale bass. Originally, the the stock pickup sounded overly muddy, so we replaced it with the infinitely superior DiMarzio Model One, and also bypassed the Bass Boost switch. The bass now has no issues except for a very minor repair of a finish crack at the heel of the neck. The neck was very stable, but a repair was recently made by Alison Guitars to bring back to 100% both the look and feel of the neck, and now you have to hunt for it to even find it, and it may not even be visible in the hi-rez photos.
RIVOLI SOUND FILES
Here are just a few MP3 files to give you an idea what to expect. The bass was recorded direct through a TAB-Funkenwerk V71 Tube DI (also available), with no EQ, compression, or effects:
