pohatu771 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 It reminds me a lot of a European copy from the 60s or 70s. I found a Vox with an almost-identical body. Bolt-on neck, I assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epinder Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Isn't that a Hamburglar Wormanater??? At least the headstock says that to me!! Looks like someone mated a Hohner with a RIC. Sorry, obviously I'm of no help at all.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyg Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Looks like the model that the Italian company EKO used to make in the 60's/70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deflepfan Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Interesting that the tailpiece (as shown by the outline) looks more like that of a Fender unit, as opposed to a floating bridge with a trapeze usually seen on a viola bass. Will have to look around. Sheila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKitten Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I can't figure it out. I've never seen f-holes like that on a viola bass from Eko, Hofner, Epi or anybody else. Also don't recognise the headstock logo, it's the shape Hofner used but that apple and the worm... who knows. Maybe this is someone's custom job? Whatever it is, I've never seen it before.
