I just love the versatility of my Adamovic Bass. It´s a very responsive bass. I can really make the sound with my hands. It reacts very well to subtle differences in playing or right hand placement. In adition the pick-ups on my bass have a 3 way pick-up switch that turns the pick-up mode to series, parallel humbucker and single coil. Basically each pick-up has three different sounds. This means that with a pair you have 9 different but usable sound variations with the blend in the middle. Add the blend and a tone control you get more sound variations than some active basses with built in preamp.
Both switches work this way:
- towards the neck position: series mode. Both coils are activated (signal goes first trough one and than trough the other) and they produce a higher output and a more aggressive mid. Great switch for when you do a solo and need a quick boost.
- in the middle: single coil mode. Only one coil works on each pick-up (The one towards the bridge) This gives o sound more likely to a jazz bass.
-Towards the bridge: parallel mode. both coils are activated (the signal splits and goes trough both coils at the same time) and this gives you the same output as the single coil mode but because this is now a humbucker the tonal character is different. A warmer mellower sound.
Imagine this and after if I activate the Glock preamp in it the pssibilities are endless.
Here are some pictures of it in my little studio while I was laying down some tracks. It´s one of the easiest bass to mix, you just raise the fader and it seats perfectly in the mix with clear tone note by note. Yes, if you do a mistake while tracking it will listen to it clearly as it has a very clear and articulate tone but preserves the body of each note. It´s just beatiful to track like this. Plus I added the olive knobs on mine to match the top.
Sorry for the long post! But I really thing these basses are top notch swiss army...etc.
