Basses from Across the Pond

[iriegnome]

I have been playing bass for nearly 35 years. I started on a Matsumoku Japanese Kimberly. Changed to a USA Peavey then to a Japanese Matsumoku Washburn and on to a Japanese Matsumoku Hondo. Now I play almost exclusivly American Modulus and Fender. However, I am still a big fan of out of the ordinary basses. I am curious as to the different manufacturers of Asian, but particularly Euorpean basses. I would like to pick up a bass or 2 that are cool and not from the USA. Everyone here has Fender (don't play mine much at all and I have 3). I like uncommon basses and I know there are so many out there, but information here in the mid-west sucks at best for bass players... Suggestions?

Matsumoku being described as ordinary. There's a first time for everything.
