I keep coming back to my Jazzes, but the P basses are getting a lot of loving at the moment.

Tried an Epiphone Rivoli II last week and I wanted to like it at lot because it just looks so damn cool. But it was mud or more mud. I'd have my Wal back in a heartbeat, but they are really silly money now.

It's nice & light too (one of the last ones I suspect). Currently got rounds on it, but I'm putting some flatwounds on her this week :-)

Still had the manual & hang tags with it too! :-)

I reckon it's long scale, case looks like a fairly generic style case and it seems to fit well?
