Eastwood Guitars Announces the Rivolta Mondata Bass Guitar
Eastwood Guitars has had the uber-cool Rivolta Mondata design in their stable for years, and now they’ve finally applied the concept to the bass. Designed by Dennis Fano, the bass has a sleek body shape made from Simarouba, which is an ultra-lightweight wood.
It features a 32-inch scale with a slim taper set roasted maple neck. The body has a raised center block that holds two Rivolta Fumante pickups, each with its own on/off switch. Other features include Wilkinson Vintage Open Style tuners, a 17mm custom “F” Style bridge, and a silver plexi pickguard.
The Eastwood Rivolta Mondata Bass will come in Toro Black Stain and Sunburst finishes. It is available for pre-order for $1,699.
