Adamovic has some of the most incredible basses, so it\u2019s no wonder their Private Collection has some of the most incredible basses ever built. This week we\u2019re checking out their King Solomon that started the series. <\/p>\n

\"Adamovic<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the first private collection bass we wanted to use one of our favorite woods: Solomon padouk,\u201d Adamovic explains. \u201cWe chose some beautiful beeswing figured Solomon padouk for the body and neck and coupled it to an exhibition grade 30+ year-old Amboyna top. The fingerboard is a 20+ year-old perfectly quarter-sawn Macassar ebony. All from our private collection. Wenge and African padouk were added to the neck for stability and tone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Based on their flagship Halo model, the six-string bass\u2019s body has an x-ergo back shaping for comfort. Adamovic fitted the King Solomon with a pair of their bassbar pickups housed in matching Amboyna burl covers with wenge veneers. For electronics, they opted for an active Glockenklang preamp. Each pickup also has a switch to toggle between series, single coil, and parallel operations. Finally, the masterpiece is rounded out with a Hipshot A-Style Bridge and Ultralite tuners.<\/p>\n
