Non origional Baddass Bridge? Nice!!

It's not what the seller thinks. It's a late 60s Gibson two-point bridge, a/k/a Evertilt.

Looks to me that most of it is origional, with the exception of the pickup & replacing the baritone switch with a toggle switch, Time will tell.............. Nice color, I haven't seen many Gibson in that color, a few Birdlands maybe...........

Very nice score.  I love the pickguards that came on these.

yeah, I intend to play this one out.

I like the front... although I find the back very unappealing. I much prefer the dark walnut brown that went on the backs of a lot of EB2/Rivolis

I've got the pickup already, so it won't take long to make it stock... although maybe another one to try the split coil thingy on.

That Rivoli looks great to me!  Lovely color.

I saw the '62 Newport from Craigslist today, the owners were walking it around a local musicians swap meet. It was a nice bass, still a far cry from being worth $3,000.00, at least to me............. :D

Must have been the Anoka swap meet.  I noticed that the Newport seller took the price off of his listing.

Can't remember exactly but I think it was $115... fairly typical for a not-too-heavy cased bass. There willbe tax on top, but I certainly couldn't have scored this in the UK for so little.

Seems a lot cheaper to the UK than from the UK... go figure...
