1967 Epiphone Rivoli II Sunburst Custom Ordered Here is a very cool Custom Ordered Bass. A seldom seen Rivoli II with dual pickups. We have seen our fair share of Dual pickup Eb-2 basses over the years but when was the last time you saw a dual pickup Rivoli? The bass was custom ordered with Stereo wiring. Easily played mono with a stereo adapter but using the Stereo application with two amps you can move mountains with this bass. Sunburst Finish, Mute system intact, Blue Label, Baritone switch, and Bonnet knobs. The bass was also ordered with two original pickguards. Shown in the photo with the Tortoise shell pickguard. Also included is a single ply white pickguard with E accent still intact. A truely "one-off" bass. Comes with its original black yellow lined hardshell case. OHSC $5500 Click Here for More Pictures
1966 Fender Bass V Sunburst An all original Fender Bass V. Sunburst Finish, Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard, Both Chrome Covers and Handrest intact, Jan 66 neck date, and untouched solder joints. This is one of the better playing Bass Vs we have ever had. A nice straight neck with working truss rod and a resonant body. Setup with the High C and a 34 inch scale this bass is just too much fun. With only a few hundred Bass V models rumored to have been produced they have become quite hard to find. HSC $4600 CLICK HERE FOR PICTURES
