Bassassin Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Lot of money for a bass that looks like a daft cartoon animal's head. Nice wood,though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it is one of the ugliest basses I have ever seen. But then again I like Precision basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmywinks Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I had hoped the fad for bulbous singlecuts with janky headstocks would have died down by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiatcoupe432 Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Nikola adamovic makes amazing instruments one of the best luthier out there 3k is fair price he only build 2 basses a year so there is at least couple of years wait and a new one would set you off at around 5k so price seem fair to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Agreed and i like the bass, but i dont play 5 's or contras. But if that was a 4 string regular 34" and £500 i'd be tempted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyerseve Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Don't normally like single cuts but this is very tasteful and rather sexy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectoremg Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I can't love singlecuts, I was dismayed when Spector flopped and made one. And that headstock is an afterthought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I'd take a wild guess and say a bass builder of Adamovic's experience and quality, dont make headstocks as an ' afterthought ' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Indeed. And therefore this entire thread, every opinion expressed herein, and even its title, is pointless. And following that rule, so are roughly 93.72% of all the topics and posts that have ever been made on BC. Anyway, I'm off to have an existential breakdown over the pointless futility of my worthless existence. Again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricky 4000 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I quite like it, and I don't usually like those big woody swoopy things... it looks kinda classical... and it looks expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Trying to think of where i've seen that odd headstock before - was it Cliff Bordwell basses ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I'm no particular fan of this type of bass but on balance I think it looks quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
