Hello friends,
I'm a recent owner of an FGN bass and would love to talk with other owners (and possible future owners) of these basses.
FGN Information:
FGN (known as Fujigen) is a guitar manufacture based in Japan that has sold instruments under their branding "FGN" and as an OEM for various companies in the past (Fender being the most popular). Most of the sellers for these instruments are based in Japan as the market of FGN is somewhat limited in the West.
Websites
FGN USA - Link Removed
FGN Japan - https://fgnguitars.com/
Bass Guitars
Mighty Jazz - FGN's take on the Jazz bass, available as active (DE) or passive
https://fgnguitars.com/eb/mightyjazz/
Neo Classic - The standard FSO both jazz and precision, it's not listed on FGN's site (NPB = Pbass, NJB = Jazz)
J-Standard - The standard FSO pbass, also not listed on FGN's site
I found a few basses that don't fit these three models where it's a Pbass shape with humbuckers, etc. Maybe someone knows their full model line?
Where to find?
United States - https://fgnguitarsusa.com/pages/authorized-dealers
(note - some models like the blue burst DE are only showing up for sale in Japan and the DE bass for sale by FGN direct is another finish different from Japan)
Also direct from FGN - https://fgnguitarsusa.com/collections/all
Japan - https://reverb.com/shop/g-club
If you are buying from Reverb vs eBay the total cost was very close but I believe eBay was slightly more expensive buying from Japan. I personally purchased from G-Club and they ship the bass Fed-Ex International Priority, Japan to California was less than five days total.
To start kick things off I recently received an FGN Might Jazz Dark Evolution five string, I wanted something of a modern spin on the classic Jazz bass but didn't want another Fender. It's a great mix of small changes, quality and features not commonly found with other manufactures. I'm hoping I can sell some gear to pick up the four string version but some of the other FGN basses are also on my radar.
NBD: FGN Mighty Jazz Dark Evolution (short review)
(FYI - I searched for another FGN club didn't find any, if there's one present I'll ask admins to remove this post)
