Adamovic Katana FBC 5 string bass incl.case (occasion)

Only 7 pieces ever made 2009

A modern bass with a very warm yet clean and articulate tone and fast response. Often accompanied with a shorter scale with narrow spacing for easier chord playing and extended range for solo work.

Together with our ergonomic designs and the Rampbar, with built in ramp and a larger right hand position area, the Katana is a perfect finger style bass to express oneself in the most subtle ways.

The Design

Based on the Halo model the Katana has an extended fingerboard with 27 frets and a re-designed horn and treble side to give a better access to the 27th fret. It’s designed for perfect balance, maximum support, and ease and freedom of movement and features our X-ergo shaping, an ergonomic carved back that fits perfectly to your body and enhances stability and balance.

These features enable you to play faster with less effort, allowing you to play for longer without fatigue. You can read more about it here.

Pickups & Electronics

The Katana features our RampbarXL pickup, This pick-up houses a pair of our bassbar humbuckers and doubles as a big ramp. The surface follows the curvature of the strings and has a large surface area to play over and an extended right hand position area. Which enables you to move your plucking hand more towards the bridge or neck for subtle tonal differences.

For the electronics, you can choose between passive controls with volume, blend and tone or add active controls or a three-band Glockenklang or Noll preamp. Both preamps include an active/passive switch and enable you to dial in the right sound for any room or situation.
