NYC Custom Basses

A modern recreation of early 1960’s basses with a full size P or J body and vintage size fretwire.
21 Fret NYC
Sleek undersized J body available in Vintage style (pickguard and control plate) and Standard style (rear mounted controls).
22 Fret Will Lee
Designed with Will Lee, features switchable mid-boost, 22 frets, narrow nut width.
24 Fret NYC
Two octave range, available in Vintage style (pickguard and control plate) and Standard style (with dual soapbar pickups mounted closer to the bridge for a bigger, tighter, punchier sound).
Our range of NYC basses reflects decades of experience serving the finest professional musicians in New York and around the world. It is our philosophy that the most important factor affecting the sound of our solid body instruments is the acoustic quality of the wood. The better a guitar sounds acoustically, the better it always sounds, no matter what pickups, electronics, or amplification are used.
