wombatboter Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 A couple of months ago I bought an Adamovic Jupiter bass and I was really pleased with it.. great sound and really lightweight. I got the opportunity however to trade it with another Adamovic which is even better.. I wasn't too keen on playing five string again but this one convinced me : again very lightweight and a joy to play. It is designed to make use of a smaller 33" scale and 26 frets. Pickup placement is slightly off centre towards the bridge providing me with lots of tonal possibilities. The electronics are designed by German company Glockenklang and have the same output in active or passive mode. The pickups are Adamovic/Hauessel design. Controls are 3 way switch per pickup, active/passive push/pull, volume - blend - treble - midrange - bass. The 2 dual coils sit within a custom adjustable wooden playing ramp. Loads of punch and fast articulation which is suited for solo style playing. When I bought it it came with a high C but I changed it to a normal BEADG tuning... Only turn-off which I can find is that the tuning pegs are a bit too close to each other and should have been placed in a different way on the headstock..

EdwardHimself Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Nice. Not a singlecut man myself but it does look very nicely made. I agree about the pegs though, there is all that space on the headstock, seems daft not to use more of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatboter Posted August 6, 2011 Author Share Posted August 6, 2011 Recorded a YT clip with the bass... still having trouble to master five again but this bass is very rewarding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpleblob Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 Lovely. My fav. Adamovic shape. This is the one from the Fray's Bass corner website I guess. Very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatboter Posted August 7, 2011 Author Share Posted August 7, 2011 Yes, always loved the looks of this one and since I could have it in a straight trade I didn't hesitate.. The muting is still hard for me, I have a rather sloppy left thumb and that works on a four string but on a five it's much harder. But it keeps me busy.
