Exact Year: 1967 Brand: Epiphone

Vintage 1967 Epiphone Rivoli bass guitar with original hard shell case (same case as a 1966/1967 Gibson Trini Lopez). No breaks or repairs, in good shape with the original cherry finish (showing normal expected wear), plays well and sounds great. Nut has been replaced to a bone nut (probably not exactly the most "professional" nut replacement but the nut still functions fine). Pickguard has been replaced with a vintage '60s Gibson pickguard. Knob silver reflector disks are worn down (one reflector disk is missing on the one knob). I am not sure if the knobs are original - it is hard to tell because of their worn condition. The electronics (pickup, pots, wiring, etc.) are all original. The bridge "mute" piece is missing (it actually never came with the guitar, often these were removed and never put back on). A couple of the tuner posts are a little bent, but all the tuners work fine. All things considered, this is still a very solid bass guitar, with no breaks or repairs, no headstock break, no neck break, etc., and it is a great vintage value for the money. The case alone is in very good condition and is probably worth $500 by itself. The case is missing one of the little round metal "feet" on the outside, but that is an extremely easy fix.$75 shipping (includes insurance) in the USA via UPS ground.
