No major damage. A piece of siding lost here, a TV antenna there...LOTS of us with no power and no prospect of getting it back for several more days, but considering just how awful this storm was for some people, we count ourselves as lucky!

Glad things made it through at the fodera shop and everyone is safe. We are still on generator power here at my home in SE pa, and counting our blessings as friends houses are gone in NJ.

No significant damage up here in our neck of the woods thankfully. Also glad to hear the Fodera shop sustained no damage.
I did catch news footage of the submerged NYC subway system, which I gather might be 10 - 15 feet under water in some sections. How the Big Apple will manage without the trains running is a daunting question.
If any of our forum members are going to be involved in the clean-up, please be safe. One of our Hydro 1 repairs guys was electrocuted today fixing downed power lines.

So far they're about to open a bunch of the subway lines but only from 34th St. and up....all of downtown is still without power and it could be days to weeks before all of the subways are pumped out....so far everything is cool but now they're afraid of rioting and looting if the power isn't restored in the next few days....I live in Brooklyn just a bit north of the shop and everything is normal here and we all have internet and power....if they were smart though they'd raid the Fodera shop! haha jk
I'd love to see some more pics like these! Anyone else wanna post their Foderas with their rig?
Here is a crappy cell pic of my Fodera from last Christmas. I got the NV610 lying on its side so it would fit under the stairs.

Maybe I'll buy myself a Fodera for the holiday's this year
Go ahead, you deserve it.
I need to figure out what model, specs etc. I'd want. Then to find a used one with close to the same specs...
Who's good at this game?
Yeah, it is a sweet bass but I'm not playing it and have a pair of instruments on order that I'll have to pony up money for before I know it.
mmm, koa

Hi there gang. Still no power at the Shop. Day 5 without it. We are all completely stir crazy now!

Power? What do you need that for, when I was there I didn't see one person use a power tool the whole 2 hours. I guess something has to keep your lunches cool though. 
glad to hear you're all ok.

I guess lighting need power though?
Look at the Fodera web site for ideas and some of the ad's right here on talk bass. For example there is a beautiful Monarch 4 string Elite for sale on here by bassmnky13..
http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f126/fodera-monarch-4-elite-sale-910928/
it was Jason's at one time and is an amazing instrument.
cheers

LOL, sadly doing things like carving and sanding require light to see...at least if you want your bass to look great!!

Well, clearly *you've* never been a renaissance master, working in a dim atelier in Florence in 1615. Sheesh...
BSD has a Yin Yang custom 4-string, ebony and holly, used. They also have a 4-string Monarch with a fantastic koa top. Four others, too.
