@HarrySeven Please could you provide some idea of the fingerboard widths and neck profiles of those Egmonds? How many positions are there on rotary pickup selector on the instrument on the left? If more than three, what are they?
Ta.
Paging @vale ;
How much? How’s £2 3s 6d or 20 green shield stamps?
the hofner violin bass is a more graceful design, but I like the quirkier stuff

They’re Ekos, Sir!
Now, re. your question...imagine a cricket stump.
Run an imaginary plane down its imaginary length, so you have a flat face (half-moon cross-section).
Imagine what that might feel like when you grip it.
Voila. That’s the neck.

Make it stop. Make it damn well stop...
@HarrySeven you can go off a person
thanks for the heads up funkfingers.
they are curiously idiosyncratic copies. not as pretty to my tastes (each to their own) as the hofners, more muscular and guitarish in proportion (which others may actually prefer). hofners are pretty tiny, which is why i like them (and phantoms).
interesting (reading the links Harry provided) to read that pigini (like hofner) were another european classical stringed instrument maker with a long history, who rather than adapt their methods to the american henry ford solid-body production line trend, decided to stick with the classical methods their staff were already trained for, to produce electrics for the new beat boom.
i get the feeling these 'classical makers gone pop' were just dipping a toe in the electric guitar water as an experiment to see, but keeping their classical business front and centre in case this whole rock thing fizzled out altogether within the decade. the rest, as they say, is history.
maybe like the infamous framus and hofner 'broom handle' basses beloved by mister wyman?
eko made for vox too, so maybe they are the same dimensions as wymans teardrop bass c1965.
ps. many thanks for the post @HarrySeven much appreciated vintage freak guitar porn.
