Interesting to see the connection Budil - Posta.
Posta played a Grancino very similar to your bass. Maybe this was the bass budil copied.
EDIT: if you do a google picture search for "posta grancino" you can see it on the LP-covers. (I own one of them)
i think the bass was for sale in the US some time ago.
