Time to thin some more. Just sold a EB-3 ( really crappy white spray can - not me) to Mark85. EB 350, 450 next few weeks.... Some Paisleys plus????

Something you don't see very often... This is truely a NOS Epiphone Rivoli. It has never been gigged nor rehearsed , just played in the house to make sure it worked and then put away. Factory 2nd though i can't find the damage and IMHO irrevelant once used anyway...
With a Casady, Starfire , Univox, epi 260 and a project Gibson Eb-1 I will never play it when/ if i feel the need for a semi hollow vibe. Comes with a hardshell case made for a casady - small damage at the top of the case past where headstock sits covered in black duct tape.

asking $650 plus shipping. Only trades i would consider involve amp with tubes or something very marketable....NEED TO THIN

also still have my Black les paul bass and epi eb3L on TB

So wish I had something that would tempt you! All these great hollow bodies of late and no cash... Very sad.

You say it's "NOS". Just how "O" out of NOS is it, what year was it built?

Great looking bass, indeed Minty!

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but don't assume you can sell it on ebay right now either. At least not at what it should sell for by recent "value." I've been trying for awhile now with several of my own basses and unless you're willing to settle for about 2/3 of what you think something should be going for, things aren't moving there either. Times are tough. People just aren't paying for things they don't "need."

Yeah, gm2 is right. I'm getting about 70-80% of my fair asking price. Combine that with shipping & ebay/PayPal fees, and I'm only clearing about 60-65%.

i know..... Isn't it always the case. When i need/want to sell the market collapses....It's just that this is probably the best condition Rivoli that will hit the market forever....
