So You Say... ～ Manhattan Transfer

Despite all the questionable looking sales on eBay Japan generally runs on Yahoo auctions and Mercari. Quite sure that they're easily located but I'll bung some links up shortly just in case. Search terms are probably okay in English but feel free to cut and paste ベース (bass) and フェンダー (Fender). These are worth checking from time to time. I'm assuming that most sales are going to run inside Japan only, but should anyone find something that looks promising please PM me and I'll be glad to translate, advise and, if req'd, help out with possible transactions. This is posted as a friendly, not as a touting-for-business thing by the way, just in case I'm unwittingly contravening a BC bye-law 😉

Owl Be There For You ～ The Rembrandts

Tractor ～ Monster Magnet

Also, a word to the wise; while it isn't the be-all-and-end-all, most folk who know what's what over here (surprisingly few TBH) shop online at Soundhouse, especially for strings, accessories etc. Here's a link to their current Fender bass inventory. Not able to comment on how local prices stack up against international prices but for new gear over here this is the go-to place for (generally) lowest prices. https://www.soundhouse.co.jp/search/index?search_all=FENDER Bass&i_type=s&suggest=y Hope this is of use, or of interest at least.

Always glad to oblige, 🙇🏼‍♂️. Actually, if anyone needs/ would like assistance with anything J-related (Japan, not just Jazz) please shoot a PM across. It'll be nice to have something to distract me from the STWA thread 😂. Happy to post links to local sites too...

She Fell In Love With A Stormtrooper ～ Tank Thanks Algy, always a legend to me 🙇🏼‍♂️😍

Men In Suits ～ Dangerous Girls

It's My Life ～ Talk²

Rubbish The Drug ～ Roxy Music

Down In The Sewer ～ 🤔😉

Empty Glass ～ Pete Townshend

Too right P. Al's superb bassline at the end of P9C7 is all but indiscernible ～ complete waste of a tour-de-force there. Occasionally snippets would appear in their dub remixes which always gave me hope that the original mixes still exist somewhere. Anyway, thanks to AW for being a huge influence on myself and apparently many others, playing all those stunning MGE lines ～ and many more ～ while still in his teens. Still amazes me🙇🏼‍♂️

Just The Tip ～ Zebrahead

The Lady is a Trump ～ Frank Sinatra
