Rivolta love... Not revolting at all

It's not cheap so I would expect very good. I haven't played one. Order direct from Eastwood.Gorgeous.
Hows fit and finish?

Oh, sorry, my mistake. I thought this was a NBD post.
I've posted these on the eastwood club already.
The Official Eastwood Bass Club
They look really cool and Eastwood does a nice job. It's not overpriced. Love the blocks. Love the blocks. Also I really like the block inlays and the blocks and blocks. The black is cool too. And the red reminds me of an Aria I had. Thanks for the GAS.

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 complain about. The only thing is that the wood has shrunk a bit so there's some fret sprout (Norway has a tough climate) but nothing to be worried about. I put some flats on, intonated it and set it up to my liking and it's great, string volume is even, no dead notes. The shape can be a bit harsh for your underarm at first since there's no bevels, but one night and you're used to it. Would definitely recommend this girl, it's such a solid piece of equipment.
As I understand it it is actually a joint effort between Rivolta Guitars and Eastwood Guitars for this one model.
Sort of like what Chowny is doing with Retrovibe for specific models.
