basskit_case Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Hello, just wonder if anybody has seen one of these before? Looks heavy and uncomfortable! https://www.bishopandmillerauctions.co.uk/lot/musicnov2019/429 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Luckily it's a six string - ideal for the guitard in your life but no good to anybody you actually like... Would come as no surprise if it wasn't actually an EKO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Probably homemade by someone who is more comfortable working with metal than wood. Perhaps the Eko neck was from Brandoni as they bought up a load of stuff from the Eko factory when it closed in the late 80s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

basskit_case Posted November 9, 2019 Author Share Posted November 9, 2019 Hadn’t realised Brandoni had those spare necks. Looks like that could be it. Was tempted as it’s near me, thought the body might have made a donor body for a double bass type build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songofthewind Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Brandoni has/had a TON of stuff from Eko. One of the most playable guitar necks I ever experienced was on an old Eko jumbo. It had the unusual and reviled zero fret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 If you ever need a GAS booster take a trip to their unit in Wembley - loads of vintage gear, including those neck through natural finish BX7(??) basses. No point looking at their website - they have loads more gear in the workshop than on the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete.young Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 That website must be at least 10 years out of date. I didn't realise Brandoni were still in business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
