Nikola Adamovic' passion for making basses started in the 1990's, with the modifications of his own instruments and later on for others. After reading many guitar building and guitar repair books and customizing several basses, he started to build them from scratch. Soon, people started to get interested in his instruments. The decision was made: Adamovic Basses was founded in 2001.

In 2002 Nikola closed the doors of the company to study guitar building and repairs at the Roberto Venn School of Luthiery. He studied guitar building with great teachers like John Reuter, Robert Mazullo and many others. Since his graduation Nikola worked full time building and repairing guitars and basses.
