Anyone have any experience with Rivolta guitars?  Strongly considering one of their baritones.  28" scale length, typically strung with 13-68 and tuned from B standard to drop G1.

I don't know how the scale or tuning of a baritone guitar, but if you told me it was that I'd say that sounds right. Cool enough vibe of a guitar, somewhere in that Reverend aesthetic. Shitty name - sounds like something I don't want to eat and also might sexually assault me during a massage.

just mad mad respect for rocking the PRS acoustic and the Schecter. Perfect guitars for his whole deal. The other one is a black Takamine which is also a very suitable John Darnielle guitar but a pretty normal choice. I feel like I remember him playing a black takamine at Mohawk like 15 years ago as well.

Yeah, I’ve wanted a baritone, but many are targeted for drop tuned metal playing, and I really don’t do that much.  I like the pickup combo and variety of sounds I hear in vids from this one.  Also, funny you mention Reverend, these are made at the same factory and player reviews pretty universally say build quality is equivalent.

What’s with that seam in the carpet?

I had to go back and look: you can only see it at certain angles but that might be from when my water heater blew and flooded my basement a few years ago. Had to do some surgery to save the carpet.

Y'all need to explain me something.

My first bass was a Peavey T-40 ca 1983 or so. By any standard, an entry level bass. It weighed approximately two million tons. If you fiddled the knobs right one way, you could get a decent bright tone; if you set them another, a decent heavy tone. All other settings were pointless. 

In the 90s I upgraded to an Ibanez fretless SDGR SR800. It could do every good sound the Peavey could do, made a lot of sounds the Peavey couldn't do, and weighed a lot less. You can buy one used for like $400.

Now here's my question.

WHAT IN THE GODDAMN HELL IS GOING ON HERE? That someone would buy a goddamn cinder block disguised as a musical instrument for more than $100, much LESS this kinda price, ... you gotta be outta your fuckin mind. what the fuck

I had a Vantage bass that my brother let me use as he got old and married and had stopped playing.  And a Peavey bass amp with a 15” speaker.  Amp and bass were really heavy for a teenager that weighed maybe 150lbs at the time. 
 

For being a no-name brand, that Vantage played well.  I’m sure my tone was complete crap.  But man my shoulder would be sore after a long rehearsal.
