Singer/songwriter I work with some opened for a regional touring act tonight.
I didn't know if they wanted to share backline, or, what that would be, so I brought my usual GK MBF/Neo212; it's an easy carry, and it sounds great.
Their bassist was cool sharing, but, he had a racked SVT/HLF410: very much not my thing. So, I set my rig in front of his, and we did out set, with me playing the as/maple MV5JJ.
At the end of the set, I bagged the MV5, and grabbed my rig and toted it off; again, it's an easy move.

Their bassist said, "man, I wash my stuff was that easy to move, and sounded that great, what is that?"

I said, "Well, that's GK gear, but, it doesn't matter what that was.That was my Sadowsky, straight to the board, out of the strobostomp tuner/DI. The amp wasn't in the signal chain."

Yup: Sadowsky MV5JJ w/single coils.

Seriously though:

That's a great cover; I've always admired the L.S.S. covers as well. Great stuff.

Thanks! Our singer, JD does most of them. They start out as large paintings, that get photographed and tweked into the covers...derail over!

Back to some awesome basses...this one, I will keep posting until I can have it...

So what's the consensus for a reasonable price on a NYC? (I know, whatever a buyer and seller agree to - other than that, there's probably a reasonable range to which most everyone agrees). I realize not every bass is identical (# strings, finish, condition, custom options, etc.) but without a semantic debate, what's the feeling on price?

Am I correct that ones from the '90's were not chambered bodies and had different tone control electronics?

Sorry if these seem like basic questions. I'm just trying to learn.

I was used to paying 2700 or so for basic NYCs but prices on new ones have gone up and the market is getting stronger. They now commonly sell quickly for 3500 and can approach 4000 with good options and patient sellers. Will lees cost more, so do braz boards and killer tops, etc.
