OMFG. SO MUCH PORN
I think I need a cold shower now 
This is my top top top pick.
It’s an Edwards @howard, first I’ve seen. Same F as an LTD, but ahhhh, the style. To die for.
And a P J
And the LTD, aged
Look at the fret inlays
And another Edwards, the elegance
Different style Edwards
And this Aria. ??? Never heard of them. Quite a few on there. All are awesome.
This old Ibanez, stunning. Defretted. Cool
This is a cool looking Jazz by MOON, Who?
Lastly, the color of this P Bass is just incredible
OMFG, I need another cold shower after that.
Did see an RBX 550 if that helps. Prob not if just for the tuners.

Yeah, Aria is a pretty common brand here, I’ve seen Moons before too. There’s a ton of Japanese boutique brands that basically made a name during the Fender lawsuit years and have been crankign out excellent guitars ever since. Aria, Atelier, Bacchus, Fernandez, Vellmor, etc. Actually Ibanez started that way too for that matter, though they went real big.
That first Edwards F looks exactly like an ESP F-Series to me. Maybe just a MIJ version?

Hi @howard,
You should check out the basses they have on offer, plenty of vintage Japanese weapons

It is an Edwards F, I just didn’t capture the descriptions in the first few SS I snapped.
OMG @TNKA36, you guys say Fortnightly instead of monthly. That is so freaking cool.
If I said that to someone here, they would look at me and say, Wtf are you talking about.
Matter of fact, I am gonna start saying that from now on, I love it.

Yeah, taking a look now 
That other Edwards is the Tetsuya (L’arc-en-Ciel’s bassist) signature model. Quite a few Japanese bands rock ESP products and are basically spokespeople.

Speaking of wanting that “F”
What ever happened to that Schecter DMien Elite, that was in front of the LTD Tom Amaya “F” sig series bass in the pawn shop down under?
You ever go look @TNKA36? Or was that another mate? ( did I say that right?)
Yeah that’s the only reason I knew that - just mentioning it to capture it here
I’m not a huge fan of the band. They are good, just kind of stadium rock.

The’re good! Just not a style I usually go for. They used to routinely top Oricon.

Oricon ? Who?
Remember, this is the guy who has no idea who Muse is, and never heard the arguably most copied (or covered) baselines in the last 10-20 years.
These are not the music scenes I venture into often. Not out of dislike, just don’t know it.
I grew up listening to radio DIE. All good stations flat out died, and I have not listened to any music radio station since KNAC died in the mid 90’s. I just can’t do radio, I just can’t. It angers me to a point
Oricon is a chart, basically the Billboard of Asia.
