Nothing like a brand spanking new bone nut. This Rivolta bass is giving my Fender some serious competition… plus a bonus picture because I like the macro function on my phone.

Thank you! Yes it is, paulownia body and maple neck/fretboard. The stock strings were 40-120 with a suffering low B but once I went up to 45-130 the low B had a much better timbre. Didn't have a problem with the G and with the 45 it's as it should be. No dead spots at all. I EQ in a bit more...

How these can clock in at just 6lbs is just beyond me. What a fantastic bass.

Chiming in here, just bought a TT5 SL and the low B holds up as well as my Dingwall does. Granted I did go up from .120 to .130, because the factory .120 was indeed floppy.

I just recently aquired an Ampeg SVT CL but I’m getting a lot of hate from people saying “yeah that thing is only fit to stay in the practice space” etc. Is it really so? I got the 8x10 to match of course and that refridgerator won’t be going anywhere, but the head along with other heavier tube...

I'd get another bass for the neck pickup stuff, I mean... a stingray is a stingray. Thats kinda what you get them for.

Here’s some vintage goodness for ya. 79’ Stingray.

That looks disgustingly cool, the matte finish really works on those basses. I got a solid leather strap for my Rivolta and it worked wonders on the neck dive.

This how the 760 FS-M LaBellas look, in case you want to try one of those!

I am so happy for you, congrats!!! Yeah you nail other issues I had with the bass perfectly really. Funny, I didn’t have the extra lettering on the back of the headstock... I think I am gonna keep this one though, despite its issues it has already seen some stage work and when I’ve been in the...

Hey buddy, sorry I took so long to reply! You'd actually be at home with the neck if you're a rick player, this one is tapered though. I love it by the way! The craftsmanship was WAY over what I expected, it feels so damn solid. The fretwork was great, no buzzing at all and the nut was...

I have one of these in the autunno burst. Hardware is great (custom wound P90'ish pickups, open tuners and brass saddles), fit and finish is very, very good. Not what I expected out of Korea at all, and man oh man does it play. It's set up at the Novo place so there was nothing noteworthy to...

Does this count as an Eastwood? Newest addition though, mods can delete if it’s wrong. :)

So far so good! I think they put on strings that were a little on the thin side, but it sounds amazing. No dead spots or nothing. Neck dives a tiny bit but nothing to worry about. Came with an ashtray too, so the thump should be good with this one.

Not sure if these have been posted earlier, but here’s my new girl. First one to arrive in Norway! A Rivolta Combinata Bass VII.
