ishibashi has good deals for brand new fender japs as well. You get your order within 7 days and they are very reliable.

technically ... Fender Japans are not supposed to leave Japan ... they were meant for the country itself if i understand correct from the agreement Fender USA had when they set up a factory in Japan ... correct me if i'm wrong, so there are no Fender Japan dealers in Singapore.

Just shipments to individual buyers who happen to be music store owners who happen to buy alot of J-basses and P-basses .. =P

Not good with online shops la.. But, how much extra you have to pay for tax(Rise to 7% areadie! 8O ), shipping and such?? As much as an American online store, say, samash or music123? or less??

Can buy direct from the site ah? I think, see whats the model name then find at ishibashi

Actually Fender has recently just issued a restriction on Fender Japan dealers like Ishibashi to stop shipment of CIJ guitars and basses to other countries. The news has created some kind of unrest and some people are rushing to enquire about this new rule and possibly make last minute orders. There also seem to be some kind of confusion with the Ishibashi online staffs regarding this new rule, some say can ship, some say cannot ship. Anyway, if you are serious about ordering from Ishibashi, maybe you should enquire now before the new rule is set in stone.

Yup, saw that thread b4... Feels good to know that the Americans can't get MIJ's while we have it in our local shops ain't it?

 

[Fiercelicks]

I'm not sure if it applies to all countries or just the US only, I haven't emailed them to ask, but If our local shops order in bulk from Japanese dealers like Ishibashi, we are actually in the same boat.

 

[ALiP_BoB]

Wait, we are kinda getting kinda off topic here... There's a thread abt the shipping issue at talkbass... Back to the original qn, who else knows who sells MIJ Fenders? 8)

G77 brings them in bro.

You can actually email Kerr or head down there to tell them what you need and they'll bring it in for you.

However from my experience, they seem to bring in only those seen on the Ishibashi webby. But then again, no harm enquiring.
