Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | Does anyone know if Adamas made any Deep bowl acoustic bass guitars, and if so were many sold?
I'd really like to upgrade from my Celebrity Deluxe Bass. |

The spruce top bass is the way to go, or order one made for you. |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | I have the CC274, and it plays pretty well, but it doesn't have a real big booming bottom-end unplugged sound I would like. It seems like a 1581-style would really punch out the acoustic bass sound I'm looking for.
I'm afraid to ask, but what's a ball-park figure to have something like that made? |

Location: NJ | The Adamas bass that Master Keller had at last year's Jam had KILLER bottom end.
He had me take it out of the case and I played it (unplugged) on a noisy outdoor deck. Y'don't just "hear" it as much as you "feel" it while playing it. I think it might've loosened a couple of my fillings. That thing is just . . . "sick". |

If you have to ask, you probably can't afford it. :D
I'll bet it would have a super great sound. :cool: |

Location: Minden, Nebraska | I love that cardiac arhythmia inducing bass wave feeling... Question: do we assume that those in marketing believe that an Adamas bass won't succeed in the market? There is, after all, and Elite Bass and a Viper Bass (if they are still produced). |
