It appears that NYC are now available from dealers again ??It's been quiet around here... I'm still loving my AC's -- I hope you are too!
Hey Joel,
Still lovin' mine too!
Thanks!
YUP, it IS quiet around here BUT certainly not over on the warm sunny California Coast, more specifically BASS SAN DIEGO.
I just got off of the phone with Chris over there and he directed me to the AC site when I asked what was going on ?
( I checked, only around Christmas and there were no AC babes to be had ! )
They have 2 super awesome 5 string AC basses on display.
1. Resurrection 5 Passive Dark Cherry Metallic $5800. SOLD today.......YESSSS !!
2. RA5 with Pearl Blocks and an AGED Olympic white finish. Stupid Killer bass IMHO and he weighed it while I was on the phone with him. It weighs a nice 9.5 pounds. $6500. Chris said that a player had that RA 5 in his hands right now as we were speaking !!!!
And YUP, I am VERY HAPPY with my AC bass, and though I have kicked it around in the past to sell/trade her. I fully came to my senses when I play LIVE and RECORD with this bass as of recent--and it is total Vintage Jazz Pre CBS with a killer Low B... There is a a 2 year PLUS waiting time for these babes. Nobody or nothing is PERFECT, but Jimmy has and is ..doing something right.
Just curious..Di anyone else notice, cuz I just saw today NYC Sadowsky at Bass San Diego, a local dealer has NYC now and a huge shop in Germany has NYC models now....hummh ?It appears that NYC are now available from dealers again ??
I got an auto-reply saying that he would be out of the office between December 3 and 16. I haven't heard from him since then...
Hi guys,
Heads up if anyone is looking for a killer LM5:

No way. Why are you selling?
It's a great bass I just have way too many basses right now. I have another AC coming in this week and I have to move something out.
What's the new A-C?
I had an awesome CAOJ RA5 that I flipped too quickly. I always regretted it. The current owner was kind enough to contact me and offered to sell it back. I'm very psyched!
