I doubt anyone has heard of the creator of them, but have been looking forward to this for a bit! I recognise the work immediately and am most envious. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabba's Build Diaries are enjoyed by many on this forum and his beautiful creations are always a big draw at our S-W Bass Bashes . His basses with their distinctive headstocks are easily recognisable to those in the know and the quality of his work is just stunning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrycreed Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I have to say my modded Epi EB0 sounds and plays and feels really nice. A lot better than the Squier Bronco and Ibby Talman I had (it's all personal I suppose). I have been playing it through headphones mainly and a warwick gnome and it sounds fine. For sure, it'll be different through a cab, I tried it at low volume through a Peavey Bandit guitar amp and it sounded pretty good, a lot bassier obviously. The pickup upgrade is a Retrovibe and a brass nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petetexas Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) Hi barrycreed , Looks really good , did your Luthier make the string extender , or buy it somewhere ? The pickup on mine , Stock 1997 Peerless factory , is Gotoh , same as the cast bridge , and I am really supprised as to the balance across the strings on output . After reading quite a lot on internet about short scale string gauges , I ended up buying a set of D`Addario EXL160S , I find them really good . Whats the serial number of yours ?

petetexas Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) Hi, Just got Rivoli back from my local luthier , neck heel crack repaired , you can see it but not feel it . Just noticed , the pickup routing on this one is the size of the pickup, so the whole pickup drops inside the routing ...... very strange , my old one had the routing done for the pickup chrome flange to sit on the surface. Anyhow, I have far more adjustment in height on this one. Edited October 25, 2021 by petetexas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len_derby Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 When a bit of cash in my wallet from a few recent pub and party gigs meets a very tempting listing on a local Facebook page this is what happens. A Mexican made Mustang, a very subtle sonic blue. Plus an alternative pickguard. Even the cat looks smitten 🤩 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoonBassAlpha Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I was wondering why "sonic" blue? I can't think what the origin might be, but I'm sure someone on here knows 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they stopped supplying them or if it’s an oversight? Who stopped supplying them? Was it a deal on a shop where you got it?
