Trying a Nordstrand

So at this point I'm really interested in perhaps purchasing a Nordstrand bass. So my question is if there are any stores that ever have one in stock in the New York area. I just can't see buying one if i haven't tryed it yet.

I was also wondering about the differences between the 4 different models that Nordstrand offers. The SC model seemed like a prefered model, but that's just because i really like the look of single-cut basses.

Almost all Nordstrands are custom ordered by shops for specific customers. I'd be shocked if you'd be able to find a Nordstrand "shop" bass around just as a demo. But, the Groove Shoppe is in New York, and they're Nordstrand dealers, so who knows, they may have one.
