  1. I've got a 1990's Epi Rivoli which has just had a 1960's USA EBO pickup put in it. The reason for doing this was to get an overall better tone and more output, but now i've got a really loud bass mush/mess of a noise. Its output is alot higher which i wanted, but i have to roll all the bass frequencies virtually off on the amp and boost the treble end to get anything barely useable. Only thing with this is that it now has a horrible tinny buzz. Also if i use a drive pedal some of the notes (paticuarlly A string, 12th fret) are so distorted it doesn't ring properly and sound terible. Now what can I do? Is it down to rubbish original wiring/pots/jacks? All i want is a woody 1960's psycheldelic tone that people have told me with the pickup swap i should be able to achieve. Anyway, enough waffle, any help out there?!?!?!?!
  2. ah, i see looks like the other parts are easy to get hold of again, thanks for info
  3. thanks for the diagram and info. sorry, 15 Henry choke? Eh?
  4. Hi, Just picked up a 1960's USA pickup for my 1990's Korean Rivoli. Obviously will need fitting correctly but was wondering if I should source some better pots/switch/jack/wiring whilst i'm there? Ive heard the electronics are not that great on these basses so if i am to upgrade the other bits what do i need. EG; type of pots resistence etc. Thanks, Nick
  5. Thanks for the responses. I might try and sort it after Sunday as I have my first gig with it!!!
  6. Hi, this is my first post so be gentle with me! Just bought an Epiphone Rivoli last week. Mid 90's single pick-up model. I noticed when the strings were off that one of the bits that the bridge post screws into the body (sorry if incorrect terminology) was not flush to body like the other one. It was the E string end of the bridge and only a couple of mm or so raised up, but when I re-strung it I swear the gap has got larger. Obviously it is meant to be flush with the body, but should I worry about it? Over time will it work the whole in the body to a size where it is loose? Should I get it sorted now? It doesn't affect the sound, It's just that I don't want to ruin it by not getting it sorted. Any comments or thoughts on hoe to sort this would be appreciated. Cheers, Nick
