The Rivoli was the Epiphone equivalent to the single pickup Gibson EB2, the only differences being the Epiphone style headstock, and Epiphone emblem on the scratchplate. Both models were priced identically, $360 for a sunburst bass, $375 for cherry (1/10/66 prices)

The Rivoli was very fashionable in the 1960s, especially in Britain, finding favour with such legendary bassists as Chas Chandler (Animals), Paul Samwell-Smith (Yardbirds), Ronnie Lane (Small Faces), Andy Fraser (Free) and many more.

In the 1970s the Epiphone (now Japanese manufactured) launched a new bass dubbed Rivoli, however with a model number EA260. This was a double pickup instrument with a similar body shape. but a bolt-on neck, long (34 1/2") scale, and very different hardware.
