[quote name='wombatboter' post='1250542' date='May 30 2011, 05:43 PM']There's a clip of the bassplayer of the Spin Doctors and I'm thinking in that direction when I look at that model.[/quote] ...wonderful Birdseye Maple top on that one! [quote name='wombatboter' post='1250542' date='May 30 2011, 05:43 PM']Strings I use are usually D'Addario's Nickel 40-100...I also use them on my Wal basses.[/quote] Thanks for the information. I have never actually used their nickel strings, as I lean towards stainless steels. However, these Circle K Hybrids have definitely captured my attention, and I hope to try them soon. I have heard nothing but good things about them: [url="http://circlekstrings.com/store/why.html"]Circle K Strings[/url]

[quote name='wombatboter' post='1249962' date='May 30 2011, 10:11 AM']Thanks.. I contacted Nikola to make me a nice singlecut fretless. Looking forward to it ! Good luck with the basses and thanks again for the feedback.. To be honest I'm using Epifani amps and Bergantino speakers for the moment and the bass sounds better with this combination..[/quote] Very nice...please feel free to update us about the fretless Adamovic! Have you determined all of the specifications for it yet? May I ask you what type/gauge of strings you are using on this fretted beauty? Thanks, Bryan

wombatboter, Thank you very much for taking the time to make the YouTube video available to us. At Adamovic's website, I must have looked at this specific Jupiter 4-string a dozen times...it looks superb...and now I know that it sounds superb! (Nice playing by the way.) I have become most impressed with Nikola's work and hope to own a custom Adamovic bass in the near future. This video confirms it for me. Plus, Mr. Adamovic seems to have fantastic customer service as well; he has certainly been extremely helpful and informative in my e-mail correspondence with him.

How are those clips coming along? Nice looking bass.

Beautiful! Do you have any audio samples/recordings that you care to share?

For anyone interested in Mr. Hellborg's signature bass guitar, these videos provide some decent quality examples...played by Jonas: [url="http://www.musikmachen.de/Workshops/Bass-Videoworkshop-It-s-all-about-SOUND"]It's all about SOUND[/url] [url="http://www.musikmachen.de/Workshops/Bass-Videoworkshop-Tonal-Gravity"]Tonal Gravity[/url] [url="http://www.musikmachen.de/Workshops/Bass-Videoworkshop-Chords-on-Bass"]Chords on Bass[/url] [url="http://www.musikmachen.de/Workshops/Bass-Videoworkshop-Groove"]Groove[/url] [url="http://www.musikmachen.de/Workshops/Bass-Videoworkshop-Odd-Time-Signatures"]Odd Time Signatures[/url] [url="http://www.musikmachen.de/Workshops/Bass-Videoworkshop-Practice"]Practice[/url] Played through: [url="http://www.musikmachen.de/Stories/Jonas-Hellborg-presents-Hellborg-Amplification-by-Warwick"]Hellborg Amplification[/url]
