Looking for a new bass in Hong Kong

[tortburst]

I'm traveling in Hong Kong and thought I might try to get a MIJ fender while I'm here.

Does anyone have any experience buying basses in HK, where to go, what to avoid, spotting fakes?

Thanks

The best place that I have come across to buy a bass in Hong Kong is Tom Lee Music on Cameron Lane in Tsim Sha Tsui:

http://www.tomleemusic.com.hk/stores.php

As far as I know it has the biggest selection and you won't find any fakes there! They have a decent sale on at the moment too. (Bear in mind 'biggest selection' is relative, and you may not find exactly what you are looking for...)

You may hardly to find MIJ fender in Tomlee, mostly MIM and MIA
There is not much bass brands to choose in HK
Fender, ibanez, LTD, Warwick & Musicman are most common seen here.
And the price is a bit expansive than US though may cheaper than Japan.

Ah, Tom Lee.
Or rather, Tom LEES.

Going around town visiting all of the Tom Lee stores in Hong Kong was an unforgettable experience for me. The biggest store, which I'm sure is the one mentioned previously in this thread, had most of the Fenders, Ibanezes, and Musicmans I know of.

I felt like I got the best service, though, at one of the smaller ones. They were the most helpful and didn't seem to be prissy little **** when asked about trying out basses. It was also nice to have the whole store to yourself.

Hope you have a good one.
I personally ended up going home empty-handed because they had none of the smaller-production brands I was looking for, namely Lakland and AtelierZ.

In the past they had a few MIJ Fenders. The Sting Model and some Jaguars.
I've been in HK last week and went several times to Tom Lee's Tsim Sha Tsui branch. They dont have any MIJ Fenders these days.
THey did have a MIJ Sadowsky though, but it was only one and it was reserved already.
