This bass seems to be correct ! I have two early NYC ' s from 1997. They were completely handmade in NY. They were offered with different pickups, Lane Poor, EMG, Lindy Fralins, Di Marzios . The first electronics had no passive tone control. The first of my NYC'ies has the serialnumber at the back of the headstock,But it's hard to see. The second one has no serialnumber at all. Some of these basses have the serial number not on the front or back of the headstock ,but on the upper side of the headstock, you see it when you look at the tuner pegs....All of these early NYC basses have slightly different body shapes. I had a pickguard made for one bass which did not fit to any other early NYC basses. If somebody has details about the old NYC series , it's definately Joey! He is the man who knows everything about these early NYC Empires. I hope this helps.
But anyway , I would like to know if this early example has a 60'ies or a 70'ies Pickup position. Seems to be a 60'ies configuration?

Hi all, I am a bass player and i am looking for a new challenge, converting first an ordinary bass to piccolo, and even better, using later a short scale semi acoustic bass with a large body ( like a Gibson ES335) with piccolo strings. The result was even better with heavy jazz guitar strings Tuning EADG . I really like it. It has a jazzy semi acoustic sound. The only thing i miss are the upper 2 strings B and E.( for playing chords) Tuning it DGBE was less good, the bottom was missing ( i am a bass player) Perhaps looking for a 6- string guitar with extra wide neck? The starting point was the problem that the string spacing on an ordinary 6 string guitar is too narrow for me. I don' t like the baritone sound, I prefer a semi acoustic jazz guitar sound for jazz and funk music! Any suggestions? Thanks mates!

These basses were made with the same pickup configuration as an original Fender Jazzbass, with either 60'ies or 70'ies Pu spacing. The difference between the two configurations is a different sound: 70' ies Jazzbasses had the rear pickup closer to the bridge . 70'ies Jazzbasses have 4.0 " spacing from center to center pickup, whereas 60'ies Jazzbasses have only 3.6" spacing ( 10 cm vs 9 cm) it's only 1 cm difference, but that makes a difference in sound :-) Could you please check this? Thanks man.

Hi, what about the PU spacing? How many millimeters is the rear Pickup away from the bridge? How much is the distance between the center of both pickups? Thanks man.
