TYMC does. just send them an email with the model you're looking for and ask for a quote.

I suggest Bacchus basses from http://www.bezalelinstruments.com/Bezalel_Instruments/Welcome.html Check out the Craft series (MIJ). Slightly cheaper than Japan Fenders but a notch higher in terms of build quality

Bacchus? aren't they way more expensive than MIJ Fenders?

and if you're thinking of second-hand, go check out Ishibashi, huge selection of MIJ Fenders there. some of them are quite cheap too.

ordered a Bacchus BJB-75C http://www.japanvintageguitars.com/images/Bacchus%20Craft%20Series/BJB-75C/bjb75c-na.jpg from bezalel couple of months ago, cost me SGD$1.6k in total. The Bacchus Craft series cost less than their regular Handmade series, but still retains the great workmanship Bacchus is well-known for.

I think Davis and Music Theme have a few too.

i dont subscribe to the belief that an entire manufacturer is better than another. it depends on the particular model, the specs and whether all these match the tone that you are going for.

either way, you can get jap guitars for an extremely sweet price from the ishibashi u-box

TYMC is at Excelsior. Further up from Maestro.

You can try bgwguitars to bring in Jap Fenders for you as well.
