Nice...but £3k???

[Bassassin]

Lot of money for a bass that looks like a daft cartoon animal's head.

Nice wood,though.

To me it is one of the ugliest basses I have ever seen.

 

But then again I like Precision basses.

I had hoped the fad for bulbous singlecuts with janky headstocks would have died down by now.

"European Crotch Walnut"? Nasty. Will probably require surgery...

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

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

Don't normally like single cuts but this is very tasteful and rather sexy.

[LewisK1975]

Does absolutely nothing for me!, but it would be very boring world if we all liked the same things!

Nope just some anti-fungal ointment.

I can't love singlecuts, I was dismayed when Spector flopped and made one. And that headstock is an afterthought. 

[fleabag]

I'd take a wild guess and say a bass builder of Adamovic's  experience and quality, dont make headstocks as an ' afterthought '

Agreed. It's wilfully incongruous and quite deliberately hideous.

[fleabag]

Personal taste is a pointless debate

[Bassassin]

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.

[fleabag]

I'd say 50%

[Ricky 4000]

I quite like it, and I don't usually like those big woody swoopy things... it looks kinda classical... and it looks expensive.

[fleabag]

Trying to think of where i've seen that odd headstock before - was it Cliff Bordwell basses ?

Agreed. I'm no particular fan of this type of bass but on balance I think it looks quite good.

Reminds me a bit of an Esh.

[fleabag]

Very similay, at least the headstock is
