I love The Animals and Chas's bass playing and tone. I have a '66 Gibson EB-2 and reissue Epi Rivoli. They sound and play great and I love playing the intro to "We Gotta Get Outta This Place". Chas's Rivoli was on ebay about a year ago, went relatively cheap.
Also gotta love Paul Samwell-Smith, especially when he'd shoot up the neck during the "rave-ups".

Carrie, that Epiphone Rivoli was offered on ebay exactly a year ago. I was at the Dallas Guitar show and a friend of mine showed me several photos in the newest Hendrix book of Chas Chandler playing an EB2. The bass came with a LOA from Chas stating he used it in '64 to record and to play live. Obviously, I was perplexed and it scared me off the bidding, as I was prepared to go the distance and really pay a lot! It was actually relieving as I had fretted over it and made my friends miserable with my plight.

A few months ago I saw an old cheesy film (pre-videos) of The Animals walking through an old house singing "House" and there was Chas playing the Rivoli. Ooooohhhhhh!
It still hurts.

Leprosy is rare & scarce but nobody wants that!
I'll have to get out more often. I have never noticed a Hofner bass with a blue finish before.
