Actually never shipped one to Japan...but many stores will ship to Europe and overseas. You could try www.digimart.net or https://buyee.jp. Also there is Danny from Bass Japan Direct that has his "bass hunter service" where he will track down a bass and have it shipped to you (of course for a fee, but its not too bad).

Things you wont hear at a gig?..a Pbass with flats 😉

If you want a great 24 fret 4 string with a Musicman/Bongo type of sound on 9 volts I can recommend you a Human Base Roxy B4 or (or BaseXoc). Also German Basses with a superb build quality and a price that just cant be beat. I recently had a used 5 string version. It was the best bang for the buck in a bass I ever had (too many to mention, id be embarrassed) and in fact one of the best B Strings I ever played in a 34 inch scale (including Ken Smith, Fodera etc...you name it). Everyone who played it was knocked out by it. Top knotch fretwork, super comfortable bass. The Glockenklang Preamp runs on 9 Volt and is very versatile. I prefer these basses a lot more over Sandbergs (living in Germany I tested many Sandbergs over the years..). And they are even more affordable. Thomann regularly gets a few in (Human Base is a one man builder so output is much smaller than Sandberg). There is an ancient youtube review done by Ed Friendland of the 5 String version (for some time period these were put together in the US, but from what I know they are now done by Human Bases Siggi Jäger in Germany):

Bought a bass from Pete and am super happy with the whole experience. There was a huge delay and trouble with the carrier (Eurosender) but Pete went out of his way to get everything right. He even offered me a total refund should it get lost (!)..now that is something you dont hear everyday. Thanks Pete for all your efforts and for an amazing bass. Highly recommended.

Beautiful bass!

Ben bought my Leduc M4 and was 100% straight forward and always fast to reply. It took a little longer to ship from Germany to the UK but Ben was patient throughout the whole time and never stressed about it. Thanks for the deal and enjoy your new bass

Traded basses with Vincent and everything was perfect. He sent me detailed pictures and sound clips and the bass was perfectly packed for the journey. A highly recommended Basschatter

It doesnt get better than a Maurad 6, congrats!

My main bass for many years. Leduc basses are really special and some of the best out there.

Traded basses with Giacomo and it was an all around great experience. Very friendly communication, perfect packinging and super instrument. Highly recommended 👍

Chris and I have made it a habit sending Leduc basses back and forth, and the Brexit can’t stop us 😉 This time Chris bought my UBass6. It was with a heavy heart but its easier knowing that it will be in good hands. Like always the communication, patience and overall experience was a joy. Enjoy the Bass Utopia by Leduc.

Very nice bass, congrats. An Atelier Z 5er 70s Jazz Bass has been my go to bass for many gigs over the last 7 years or so and has always delivered. The fretwork, attention to detail and overall build quality really is as good as it gets. I am sure you will appreciate this bass even more as time goes by.
