Welcome to the forum, Ryan! While I certainly don't know firsthand where to advise you to go, if you go to this link:

http://www.fender.com/dealers/distributors.php

there are 5 Fender distributors in China - you can contact them to find the authorized dealers nearest your area. That's the best idea I have anyway...

Hope this helps!


thank you for your reply
the fender website says the dealer in china is in hong kong and shanghai, but its far from my place nanjing, jiangshu. would you please MENTION THE FIVE FENDER DEALERS IN CHINA.
thanks again...

I would, if they had any listed, but they do not - the ones on the link I sent you are distributors, not dealers...they actually supply the individual dealers with Fender products.

So, although there are five distributors, there may be many more actual dealers that they provide inventory for. The Fender site suggests contacting those distributors directly to ask them where the local authorized dealers are located - that is how you'll be able to find out where the nearest dealers to your location are.


thanks alot, i will try that

Cant you oder one from the net? there are TONS of great basses in Japan both new and used/vintage,Japan has some of the best basses going,many of the used ones are the same price as a entry level model thats brand-new.
And they have copies/knock-offs too(made to look just like the real do)that are just as good as or even better than the real ones,and are as close to professional quality as you can get,do a few mods and you got yourself the "real deal".
With a bit of detective work you can easily find a bass to fit your desires,oversea dealer's export killer basses,take advantage of it. :mrgreen:

Ryan, welcome to the forum.

You've been given the best advice available already about finding a dealer in China.

I just wanted to add that so many bogus/fake/knockoff instruments pour out of China and into various sales platforms (eBay, consignment stores, pawn shops, etc) that you need to make sure you are dealing with a real authorized dealer and that you are getting a genuine Fender. This is nothing new in Asia. There are some fakes that are really good copies and others that are not so good. Spotting the not-so-good fakes is easy, but the better fakes can look very close to the real thing. Without a known genuine model as a template it is nearly impossible for anyone unfamiliar with the genuine article to verify whether an example is or is not genuine. So, be careful Ryan!
