I'm not after a Fender. I don't care where it's made.
Ironically, I did go for a Japanese built bass that I believe is light years ahead of Fender QC - Bacchus.
Not one to do this usually but I purchased a Bacchus last week from Bass Bros and the service I received was top notch.
The process from start to finish was first class and Will even got in touch with me to ask what strings I would like when restringing and doing a set-up.
I will definitely be using these guys again in the future.

Exactly. One of the best original bands I was in jammed for the first three to four months to come up with ideas. We spent the next couple of months figuring out the song structures before playing our first gig. I remember debuting and a few people came up to us after and asked how many years we had been going!
