Bass of the Week: Adamovic Basses SuperNova 5

Originally featured March 16, 2015

Adamovic Basses recently posted a set of photos on their Facebook page that made me want to look up some more. The bass was SuperNova 5 featuring a one-piece African padouk top, and it’s our bass of the week.

Adamovic Basses SuperNova 5 Bass

The SuperNova one of the company’s first models and features a three-dimensional hand-carved body. While the Netherlands-based company builds the model to order, this particular bass was fleshed out with a padouk theme including a solomon padouk body and a neck made of African padouk, solomon padouk, and wenge. The colorful African hardwood is accented with a dark Macassar ebony fingerboard.

It’s loaded with a pair of Adamovic’s own Bassbar pickups matched to a Noll preamp. Finally, the bass is fitted with a Hipshot tremolo bridge.
