Gibson Certified Vintage 1967 Epiphone EB-232 Rivoli Bass
Made on the same production line, the semi-hollow EB-232 Rivoli served as Epiphone’s version of the Gibson EB-2 bass and features the same specs as its counterpart with some minor aesthetic changes. The Rivoli came loaded with a Gibson Sidewinder pickup that puts out a whopping 32k ohms and a push-button “baritone” switch that cuts some of the bass frequencies.
Discovered in the Gibson Vault, this 1967 EB-232 Rivoli is in very good overall condition. There is a slight warp on the pickguard and small dings and lacquer checking throughout.
The bass has been refretted with Stewmac #149 fret wire, a medium jumbo fret wire which is very slightly narrower than the stock frets. A new bone nut was also installed, along with a new mute felt. All of this was performed by Gibson Repair and Restoration. It ships with its original gray hardshell case with blue interior. The E string looks like it may be unmatched with the other strings - we will restring this instrument prior to shipping.
Availability Date: The purchased instrument will be available for pickup at the Gibson Garage in Nashville, or shipment to an address in the US, starting December 14, 2023.
