Mike,

Were you still able to get the muting system worked out for your new bass? I remember you describing a system that would mute the bass by causing a short between the strings and one of the neck bolts.
 
Thanks!
Another question...
What were the reasons,for choosing titanium as the bridge and truss rod material and what are , in your view, the benefits that set it apart from other materials?(aluminium comes to mind as one other lighter than brass material...in case weight is amongst the reasons)
:)
 
Okay, heres my new baby!
its a '06 NYC deluxe 5-string. Original Pope 2-band pre-amp, tilted headstock,brass nut and "all black" hardware! it also came with see-through pickguard, but i prefer white one :)
Also, it doesnt have that butterfly inlay like new ones have.

This probably isn't kosher, but I got these in the mailbox from my dealer today, as the guys at Fodera wanted to double check a few details (and I'm very glad they took the time to do that!). They're just a few quick photos taken to compare some details- the wooden pickup covers are someone else's- but it shows what the instrument will look like, roughly.
