I have dealt with Ovi in person and I can recommend him as a fellow bassplayer and passionate collector.

Edited.

As I thought, these are heavy. Best of luck with the sale!

Weight? String spacing could be adjusted to 18mm?

Nice.

Was once mine, bought it here on basschat some years ago. It really sings and looks fantastic.

There you go.

Very hard to capture the beauty of this bass, there is a very deep 3D-effect when you see it in person, also the high gloss finish looks great, but it makes taking a good pic all the more difficult, at least for me.

Nikola Adamovic is IMO one of the very best luthiers anywhere. I have owned everything from Alembic to Zon and this is the best fretted 6-string bass I have every played.

However, I am going to switch to playing fretless bass exclusively and I am having built a wonderful Adamovic 6 fretless, so this one is for sale.

The bass is very responsive and plays great. The most special feature about Adamovic basses is the building of the neck, it takes two years and this makes the neck very stable and improves the sound drastically.

Superb bass, custom made in Markneukirchen.

 I got this bass in a trade and enjoyed it very much. Due to a permanent switch to fretless bass, I am selling this very special instrument.

Mint condition.

Half the price of a new one (£6,000/6,500).

Of course, if you like the Humbucker sound, go for it. The open treble register and the responsiveness was great with the Single Coils, but most players associate Fodera with this Humbucker tone I guess.

Please send me a message.

Sad to see the change of pickups, it was great with the Single Coils.

Sweet!

Very nice! Trustworthy seller.

Right one used to be mine, a great Instrument.

It’s light sonic blue, only 10 or 20 (forgot how many) made in this colour in a limited edition series in 2013

With Brazilian Rosewood board if I recall correctly.

The pickup alone is 773€ plus tax.

Derek builds double basses for famous orchestral players and soloist in the 20000€+ range.

Two more sets of the Thomastik Spirocore are sold.

Too heavy for me, but this is a great instrument no doubt.

One gorgeous instrument! What kind of electronics does it use? Bass/mid/treb vol, pan, single/series/parallel switch?

MTD uses a 3-Band EQ, vol, pan and an mid-frequency switch.

ELECTRONICS

The pickups and active electronics are a proprietary design for MTD made by Bartolini Inc. which consist of a master volume and pan pot, treble, mid, bass cut and boost, with center click (from neck to bridge). 

The three position switch selects the mid range cut and boost point. Down is lower mids, center is middle and up is upper mids. When the mid pot is at center click, the switch has minimal effect. 

The EQ has 2 batteries and our new proprietary Bartolini/MTD preamp is +18 volts. It will debut at NAMM 2020, replacing the previous +/- 9 version while keeping the same voicing.

What's the weight and the stringspacing at the bridge?

I would like to know too. Also the saddle width.

Do you have any of the Thomastiks left?

 

I have updated the post, every set of strings that is in the first post with picture is still availiable.

Edit: So I still have some Thomastik Spirocore and Superflexible.

Very cool bass.

OK £1900 to you 😂

It would reflect the value of the instrument to a player, but no 7ender on the headstock makes these basses a bargain.
