If this really is a first series NYC I would buy it right on the spot for the 1500 bucks asked.
Looks like it... with the NYC logo on it... this bass must sing
Definitely looks like my 98... I think i have seen this before though, and i don't know why but 4 strings NYC go for a lot cheaper than 5ers...
Still, i would buy it myself if i hadn't something else in mind at the moment ^^

The bridge looks a little bit peculiar. It's not the well-known Fodera model. Did the old NYCs have special bridges?
On the link below you can see an NYC four string built in 1998. This one definitely has a Fodera bridge. This seller is asking 2500 Euros, BTW.

The full-blown, inlaid butterflies like we use on the Customs started in late 2009, early 2010. Prior to that they were Ablone-looking decals and they were in use for a few years...
Hope that helps!

Hi Guys,
I was recently in New York to pick up my Emperor Elite 5. I visited the Fodera shop and Andy and the girls where the first my girlfriend and I meet and they were very nice. Jason, who I have so mails and TB's message with, welcome us and showed us the shop and we meet all the workers. Maybe I should say all the masters It was very cool and seeing all that wood makes you want one more Fodera
I saw my bass for the first time live and played it. It fit my hands so well! I'm really glad I went with 17.5 mm spacing. The setup was great as well! After I got home to Denmark I have had more time to play and try different setting on the bass. This bass sounds really really good. It have the sound I wanted and more. This walnut/ebony combo is pretty great for slapping.
We also meet the Fodera guys at the Victor Wooten/Stanley Clarke concert at B.B club and were very nice to us and lets sit at their table. Their hospitality were great. Maybe it the american way but it's very unlike the danish way! We enjoy it alot.
I ordered the bass through Dave from Link Removed and I will recommend him all the way. He was very helpful and great to give respond on my many mails He knows alot about Fodera and the basses, so I believe he was just as excited as me for my new bass.
Again big love for Fodera basses and the even more for the people behind them!

One of the very best parts of what we do is meeting the people that will take our instruments out into the world and make Music with them. It was our pleasure hosting you and we wish you many, many years of being part of the Fodera Family. Be well and stop by and visit us the next time you are in New York!

Actually the bass in the Youtube clip is Richard's original instrument and this one is the new, "replica":

Jason,
Love the Bona! I would love to see the cavity to check out the Roland set up.
How much for the skull knob option?
Thanks,
Jack

hey janek,
half-way through your vid right. is it okay to provide a link to it to other folks? specifically, there's one of those usual bitch-fests about how much foderas cost and think it would be interesting for some of these folks to get more of an idea of the *why* (not that it will sway the super fundamentalists).
