They don't do "Blocks and Bindings" on NYCs anymore because it hs become too expensive. But you can get all the other UV features (body size, PU spacing...) on the NYCs.

One of the features of the UV models (both NYC and Metros) is the full size body and I don't remember ever seeing a NYC 5-string with a full size body.
I might be mistaken, but neither I recall seeing a 5 string with the smaller fingerboard radius. I'm sure any of the 5-string players here can correct me.
IIRC, this might be the only NYC bass with blocks and binding. They used a Metro (or Tokyo) neck.
I don't know about the full sized 5-string body, but the radius of the 5-bangers is fixed at 12".
I think it is the only NYC with blocks and binding. Probably one of the best NYC's I've ever played -- an absolutely awesome bass. I miss it already...

Yeah, I am getting bad. I've had five come and go in the last 2.5 months!
I've got a V5 on order and am waiting to hear back from Roger on ordering a Modern 5 also.
I think I need help!

ya think????...........
Well I was very intrigued by the raves that the newer Fenders are getting so in a moment of weekness I bought one, a P5. Got the bass and was overall impressed with the workmanship, though not a Sadowsky, still very nice.
Used it at practice yesterday and after the first tune I switched back to my Sadowsky. There's just no comparision for how it manages to sit in the mix, yet cut through at the same time.
Soo the Fender is going back and I think a Metro PJ5 will be the next bass for me, unless a killer NYC 5 pops up.
Sadowsky's are awesome!

Yeah I got a newer Fender too. It's good but it feels like a manufactured bass not that
boutique feel that you get from the good companies. It sounds pretty good it just doesn't
have that comfortable feel.

Yeah, the classic "now I get it" case, tho you already knew anyway.
I have a particularly great USA Fender 5 (USA P Deluxe V), and as notable as it is, my Sadowsky basses still rise above in a mix.

Sadowsky Club part VII ?
Wow the Sadowsky buzz as really taken off.
I know they play as sweet as can bee and drip tone like honey from a flower.
I'm doing some cover songs of Sting and I'm using my Sadowsky Modern 4 to cover the low end.
