So, I know lots of people don't enjoy SR basses. I do. Light, fast necks, dizzying variety and choice... Anyway, I have just acquired an SSR630. It's flat black and gorgeous. Active, Bart MK1s... These were made specifically for Shimamura Music in Japan for the Japanese market. It is my 2nd...

Greetings. I am actually quite new to Dragonfly basses. I am a huge fan/collector of MIJ basses and these are really amazing basses! I would love to start a club here at Talkbass. I have searched for a Dragonfly thread but there doesn't seem to be anything here. If there is one, I hope someone...

Hello, This might be a really dumb question but I can't seem to find an answer! Is there a spec difference between Big Bang and Big Bang Black Edition? Perhaps it is just a difference in colour? Parson the ignorance, I know nothing about these amps? Any thoughts on these amps? Anyone think...

I am not affiliated. I have no skin in the game but thought I would pass this on.... I hope I am allowed to do this here. Invalid Link Removed I have one of these and have had several in the past. Great basses. Matsumoku factory. Top of the line for medium scale from Aria at this time...

Greetings. Got a new Bass today. It is very rare one... or so I am told. I bought it from the original owner. It is in unplayed condition with no blemishes at all. I bought it from Japan. My wife is Japanese so it makes getting these things so much easier. The model is JB62 FCH/SLV. It was...

So... I've been lurking about waiting for one of these to pop up in Japan for a while now. Made in the early 90s (this one is 1991), Aria had a short lived custom shop. They made very high quality instruments in small numbers. This one originally sold for 185, 000 yen. About $1800 Can$ or...

Hi. Did a search. Didn't yield much info. I am looking at a Yamato bass. I think they were pretty budget but made in Japan by Tonga company. Anyone have any additional info? Much appreciated.

Greetings. I ship lots of basses from Japan to Canada. I have never had any damages in shipping until now. How can I fix this damage? I am not looking for perfection but just it makes me just about weep everytime I see it. Any help would be appreciated. I am pretty handy with tools and bass...

Hey. Just wondering if anyone has ever heard of, or owned, or seen, or caught whispers of.... TENDER basses? Talk about the "lawsuit era". It doesn't get much more lawsuit than "Tender!" I have two. I imported them from Japan. I had heard from somewhere on the internet that theses were made by...

So, I tried searching for one but couldn't find a thread dedicated just to JAPANESE Fender basses. If there is one, please point me to it so I can have this one deleted. I lived in Japan for 6 years and my wife is Japanese. I am a HUGE fan of Fender Japan... both basses and guitars. The build...

I am at a loss to know what this is. Anyone have a guess? It resembles a Fender Japan MB4 but the headstock is different and the logo is simply a large "F". Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

I recently bought this amazing bass. I would love to connect with anyone else who has one, has had one, or knows someone who has one! I know it is made by Fender Japan. I know it is rare. I don't know much else. Any help/info would be appreciated. I am going to keep it and do some upgrades...

So after living quite a while in Japan and never having a chance to buy one... and after searching off and on for a long time, I finally bought a Fender Japan PBass "ExTrad". These basses (also the guitars) are nearly impossible to find. The strats can be found on Reverb and Ebay sometimes but...

Just thought I would throw this out there. I like seeing really dirty, kind of gross basses. Lots of grime, rust, abuse etc... but earned by playing not relic'ing. Here is a picture of my MIJ Fender Jazz. Originally Olympic White. I purchased this bass from a band member in Japan. Sadly, it...
