I will be in NYC this October for a vacation. Are there any music instrument shops there known for carrying high end basses (Spector, Zon, Warwick, Sandberg, Lakland, Mayones, etc)?
Rudy's usually had a good selection in stock ...although it's probably been close to 10 years since I set foot in their shop so I honestly have no idea whether they still do. Last time I was in the Sam Ash on 34th Street they had a good half dozen Foderas on the wall, along with a bunch of Warwicks and (I think) Laklands. Speaking of Fodera, you can always stop by their shop. Sadowsky's too.
