Quite a collection you have there!
Did you consider anti RAS therapy yet?

Yes, I've been in and out of rehab so many times my shrink has given up on me.
Like they say : "If you can't beat them, join them."

On a serious note, I do admit that I have a problem. With GAS.
Don't we all ?

Great collection! Of course, I'm a bit partial to the basses!

Awesome! Best first post in a long time.

It's first come, first served. In other words, whoever orders first gets goods first. Yamano and JMT could get the first shipments of a product if they ordered it first- or they could be scooped by the Germans, French, or British.

They are considered one of the biggest in SE Asia.

We've dealt with Swee Lee in the past, as well as Albatross Music. Both are music stores and we've found it in our best interests internationally to deal only with distributors- those that sell to music stores.

BTW, Jimmy, who you dealt with at Shinseido, relocated to Shanghai and now is the owner of JMT which distributes our products in China.

Welcome Rodney and thanks for starting a terrific thread.

Nice to see someone else come along who knows that JETGLO ROCKS...and FIREGLO is HOT

Thanks again John. This is really good to know.
I am glad Ohnishi-san (Jimmy) has moved on to serve a new market. It has always been a great pleasure dealing with him.
He keeps me updated on his inventory even on those not published on the website.

Is there a possibility for us in SE Asia to purchase RICs from JMT?

JMT's authorized only for sales in China, Hong Kong, and Macau. However, if you were ever visiting any of those areas, I'm sure he would be of service.

Thank you John, that is a wonderful idea. I just might visit Jimmy on my next business trip there.

This is the odd one out in my collection.......my only Blueburst.
I think BB is one of the nicest colour in the catalogue.
