    No longer available Epiphone Rivoli II with Case

    I have a nice playing and sounding Epiphone Rivoli II bass with OHC for sale. I've owned it for about 5 years and have used it for gigs and some recording. There are a few things to call out about it: The headstock has some hazing that is visible in the pictures. It was like this when I...

    SOLD Atomic Bass Box

    I have an Atomic Bass Box with power supply in great condition for sale. I bought it here a few weeks ago and while it's incredibly versatile - especially with the editor software - it's just too much for what I need. I'm only looking to get out what I have into it. No marks on it, nor velcro...

    Epiphone Rivali II 2 pickup wiring

    Hi, I'm hoping someone can help as I'm kind of at my wits end. I really like this bass, but I don't know that I've ever put so much work into an instrument. Getting the pickup volume balanced against each other and for each string has been nearly impossible, but I've finally got it pretty...

    Epiphone Rivoli II Reissue questions

    Thanks guys for the responses! I found a wiring diagram for the single pickup Rivoli/EB2, but not the two pickup version (Rivoli ii). i'll have to figure it out. I really want to get this guy sorted because I love playing it, just not the sound right now. It always sounds overdriven. I'm a...

    Epiphone Rivoli II Reissue questions

    Hi, I'm sure some of these questions have been answered before, but I could not find them looking through search results. If anyone could answer one or more of these, I would be extremely grateful. I just traded for a 1999 Epiphone Rivoli II. It's got great 'bones' (great neck, super...

    Epiphone Casady strap button locations

    Hi, I have a Jack casady bass that I like be very much but can’t use it on stage because of neck dive. ‘Dive’ is too subtle, it’s more like neck plummet. I’ve tried hipshot lites but no help. Tonight I started playing with strap button positions to get the center of gravity balanced. The...

    No longer available Black Lacquer Classic '50s Precision Body

    Bit of a long shot, but I wanted to see if anyone had a Nate Mendel body they'd like to trade for my black lacquer '50s body in great condition. No nicks or anything, just some swirling. Would also sell for $260 unloaded, or make a deal for fully loaded.

    Latest bass build

    Thanks! I saw some videos from my gig Saturday night, and in low light it really shows up! Yeah, vol/vol/tone. I had an idea yesterday: since he'd routed underneath most of the pickguard, I could drill a hole from the control cavity to the pickguard cavity, and put a control up towards the...

    Latest bass build

    I wanted to share my latest build. It's a road worn precision neck, Warmoth body finished and slightly relic'd by a guy on eBay. BadAss II bridge from the '70s, and Seymour Duncan SBP-1 and SJB-1 pickups. The control cavity is tiny, so I ended up just doing a volume for each. Not sure I like...
