hello
Yes you can share my below info with them, but there is not an Asian version Bantam story yet. we need to first successfully launch our Czech Bantam which has only just begun. as I mentioned we will get to an Asian made Bantam when possible in the near future. for now this is our more modestly priced short scale bass

A quality short scale bass, at a more modest price point, could be a game changer. Also, most short scale basses offerings are actually based on "vintage" models from the 50's or 60's.
