Here a video of me playing my 1966 Epiphone Rivoli through my Vox Foundation Bass Amplification (Vox AC-50 + Vox T-100 Bass Cab)
The song is "It's my life" by the Animals.
Enjoy it!

I seem to see people knocking this guitar all the time, because they see the mudbucker-looking pickup and they expect it to sound like an EB-0, and they're always disappointed when it sounds almost nothing like it. I think the thing has the most beautiful voice. I would love to buy one, if they reissue it again any time soon.

I had a Rivoli an used fingers all the time.... a great guitar, fast neck... Had a Fender Jazz bass too but used a plecky at times with that one.
-
is the pickup a single coil or a humbucker?
-
how much can you pick tone of these up for if you don't mind me asking?
Lovely tone
-
this sounds amazing :D
-
funny that both the animals bassplayer stopped doing music and started producing in 66 just like samwell smith, bassist for the yardbirds did the same in 66.
-
Hey could you please tell me the string spacing at the saddles of the bridge?
-
very nice, well done
-
Very well played. Just a pity we can't see your left hand fingering the notes. If you post any more videos, how about sitting back a bit more from the camera?

Till now I don't know any Yardbirds-song but I promise that I'm gonna work them out for you.

Is that a custom bridge?... oh please tell me you didnt change the bridge~

@picure
Yes unfortunately the bridge was replaced by a Music Man style bridge, when I bought the Bass recently.
But I am going to restore it into its original condition, because it's just a great Bass! :-)

Thanks!
I can post more Animals, Yardbirds, Searchers etc. tunes.
Well, about the pick:
All the 60s British Invasion Bass players played with picks, and if you play such a deep sounding Rivoli, it only sounds good played with a pick :-)
