I'm new to new york. I need a good location to shop for a better bass, acces., etc.
also, suggestions on how to find a group looking for an experienced modern jazz bass player. I'm living in north new jersey.

You could start with David Gage at
www.davidgage.com (http://www.davidgage.com)
and Bill Merchant at
www.merchantbass.com (http://www.merchantbass.com)

AES Fine Instruments; 914-243-0955 has basses at various prices for sale, including 3 of mine http://www.talkbass.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Yorktown Hts, NY. His clientele includes the best in the business; his commission is lower than the others. I'll give you 1 more name tomorrow. Also look up http://kolstein.com
You DO NOT want a retail music store for this.
