BACKGROUND:
Hello and thank you for visiting my little treasure trove of MIJ goodies! Let me tell you a bit about myself and how this started..
My name is Danny Stewart, I am a Scottish-born bassist who moved to Tokyo 20 years ago, having worked in London as a pro bassist doing session work and some touring stints.
Bass Japan Direct was started having spent years living in Tokyo and trying out, collecting, documenting and reviewing various MIJ basses on YouTube. My channel grew and I found I kept getting requests to find this bass or that bass, and often succeeded! I decided then that working with some of my favorite brands here in Japan would be a great way to expand my channel and introduce these brands fantastic builds to subscribers, students and any enthusiasts who might stumble upon my channel.
I began doing business with Bacchus and STR after they hired me in late 2013 to do demonstrations for their Bacchus Woodline series, and also live demonstrations for Bacchus, Momose and STR at trade fairs here in Japan. I added and began to carry Atelier Z the next year, and dragonfly the year after that in 2015, Moon since 2018 and Combat since 2020.
To date I have had over 500 custom orders for all makers and have shipped hundreds of Bacchus stock MIJ and MIP basses and hundreds of used MIJ basses such as Greco, Tune, Tokai, ESP and more around the globe, not to mention a whole slew of used / vintage items.

I really enjoy working with the brands I have selected so far, and can communicate with them pretty much seamlessly in Japanese in order to manage my customer's requests smoothly. I visit the builders that are based here in or around Tokyo often, and am in contact with them all on a regular basis.
It is great to have such a level of communication in order to bring my customers their custom builds without a hitch, and to have these wonderful instruments pass through my little shop!

I also work occasionally with Xotic and Sugi for those of you that want custom orders from them, but the demand for them is lower so I do not carry them all that frequently. Feel free to inquire anytime if you want to order any of them.
On top of running Bass Japan Direct also play in a crazy Classical Fusion power trio called "Trivergents" (www.trivergents.com) which gives me ample opportunity to test drive a lot of my stock and even some of my own Funky Junk recycle basses.
Anyway, nuff waffling from me.... I hope I can be of service to you some day soon!
Cheers for now,
Danny Stewart
