    I like the harshness of it this year. "I walked past a shop and saw a nice bass in the window." "Get tae f**k, yer oot!" 😁

    Not that being first is a win in this thread, but my post above is a confession. Money has changed hands. A bass is travelling across the sea.

    How is this possibly still here at that price? Fantastic basses.

    Caught putting it in my basket to check shipping cost and offered 10% off. Nice email chat with 'Wes' about weights and timescales. No council tax or water rates for the next two months. Birthday next month. Forgive me for I am weak.

    Receiving email showing a new bass. ✔️ Remembering there's no council tax or water rates to pay for the next two months. ✔️ Being asked by my family what I want for my birthday at end of February. ✔️ Being cyber-spied eying up said bass and being offered 10%discount to tempt me. ✔️ Realising that all the above put together makes this practically a free bass. ✔️ Is that a trigger I hear being pulled? ✔️

    I gigged an RBX374 for a few years, the one with a pair of Musicman type humbuckers. I thought the range of sounds was fine, and I loved the scalloped thumbrest shape to the top edge of the pickups. Light, comfy and well built.

    I think, given the shape of the control plate, scratchplate, etc, if the bottom edge of the headstock was cut straight to match the tuner side it would suit the guitar far mode, like a symmetrical pointy shape with a rounded end.

    Reminds me of a Rickenbacker when they aren't doing the cresting wave thing.

    Death or Glory - The Clash I seem to be on a Clash thang 😁

    I was going to say some of the Yammy RBX range had a similar thing going on, albeit a separate plastic plate to give that effect.

    These look cool, very retro futuristic if you know what I mean. The 25% off is working, I put one in my basket and continued to see. Great range of colours as well although I can't see the actual colours, but I do have a confetti pink one with cream scratchplate in my basket 😁.

    I know I'm being super fussy, ideally I'd like something that doesn't look particularly 'electric'. The band is doublebass, and either two acoustic guitars, mandolin and ukulele, or a mix of them between the two GUITARISTS, plus singer and drums. The Rivolta is borderline 'too electric' looking and I think the Italia takes it's too far. I do like them though. The Allen Woody has been on my radar but I've never played one, are they very thumpy or can you get a decent range of tones from them? I've been using my Kay K162 at rehearsals but it is just pure thump, you cannot get anything remotely bright from it, I even put DR Hi Beams on it and nothing. I love it but I could do with some highs. I might look at changing the electrics as I love the bass itself. Edit, I've also got a Hofner Club, only an Ignition but it ticks the boxes, but the narrow spacing at the bridge feels sooo different jumping between it and upright. I know I know, first world problems. The truth is I love the look of that Rivolta 😁

    I saw the Facebook post and instantly thought that's a @Jabba_the_gut bass, then the post disappeared as they do on Facebook. The 'R' logo is definitely his, and his work is exceptional.

    I've just seen an email from Eastwood Guitars about Rivolta guitars, a separate brand/maker(?) but sold through Eastwood. The Duocata bass caught my eye. I'm kind of low key after a lightweight, acoustic styled shortscale to double with upright bass in an acoustic band and I nearly splurged my cash there and then. Only trouble is Eastwood are now based in America so there'll be high shipping and taxes. It doesn't state the weight but I'd love to be able to try one of these, I think they look fantastic, very Rickenbackeresque. https://www.rivoltaguitars.com/products/rivolta-duocata-bass?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=email&_kx=vG68xHWzTsaizKkGhKLlOsD0rYhHzD2CI48Nt4-TTUQ.MTbQ9E

    I've actually been to see Sleep Token and while not my thing, I can completely see why they are so big, the whole show they put on was fantastic. If you were a fan I can see how you could get so drawn into the whole 'cult' of Sleep Token. My daughter was going to see them at London O2 with her partner but they split up, none of her friends wanted to go so I went with her, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

    Sleep Token should be in the top ten.

    It's a knob fest! I do like the 80s contrasting neck through basses. Cool 😎
