Default Where to get it and what's the price?

hey all,
I've been surfing around the web in search of looking for a bass to start with.I've decided on the Fender Precision Bass.I just need to know if Singapore sells it,where and how much.I know it's a pretty big step forward of a bass for someone who has just started but i want to buy a long lasting one instead of a cheap bass that can't last and i got to keep on re-buying basses again.So yeah.Bottomline,I just want to know if Singapore sells a Fender Precision Bass(4 strings)Where.And how much it is.

Thanks everyone,

Fenders aren't difficult to find in Singapore. Swee Lee at Bras Basah and Sims Drive. Guitar 77. Music Theme. you have lots of ground to cover.

err,just for all you guys info,and to help me.I don't care if it's made in japan,mexico or the united states.I want the cheapest one.Cause i don't think my mom would be obliged to pay over 1000$ for a bass.Probably hope that swee lee will have a sale or something like that.

Thanks all and keep the replies coming,really helpful

CIJs were the obvious solution back in the days when they could be exported out of japan

if you're working on a budget, the MIM (mexico) basses will do just fine. nowadays you can't really say which country of manufacture is better anymore, because they are all made to different specs
