Basses made in different countries

[Avezzano]

I gotta assume they got sued for this one.

not necessarily: Ric management protected the design of their instruments only within the USA borders; so making a dead on copy is not illegal if done/sold outside Us (I think?):

I had a soviet made guitar for a short while but it was a real junker. The body was mostly plastic.

One model line of Bacchus Bass is made here in the Philippines.

Where? In Cebu? (just an educated guess).

 

[Essen]

Not many Norwegian builders. I've heard of Listerud, but that's it.

The Maton JB4 is a great bass made in Australia. Originally in the '80s but recently reissued.



Dunno if they were ever exported, though plenty of Maton guitars went overseas.
