The Epiphone Rivoli bass guitar was manufactured between 1961 and 1968 (excluding 1962, see the Epiphone Rivoli shipping figures) with 1967 being the peak production year, and so, of all the Rivoli hardware configurations, this is probably the most abundant. It is typical for a mid-sixties Kalamazoo plant bass: EB humbucker, bar bridge and Kluson 538 tuning keys.
