Made in Indonesia.
Neck through 35 "in 5 parts (Saddle / bubinga), rosewood fingerboard, mahogany body, poplar burl table.
2 microphones and electronic active Bartolini MK2 (Volume, Balance, Bass, Mid, Treble).
24 (best large) freight.

Lutherie excellent hardware too, not electronic height.
Book well some rule, with good strings.

UTILIZATION

The neck is wide (like a DB) but not pais, very very very fast.
This bass is more comfortable and faster than a Jazz Bass.
Slap it very naturally.
CASC to treble is perfect.
The interface is really good think is the most comfortable bass that I played on (Fender JB, PB, MusicMan, G & L, Thunderbird, Gretsch).

The EQ is against evil thought: the treble volume pot gives breath-stroke, the range of frequency drives medium rather too broad.

SOUNDS

In acoustic sounds dj norm. Any bass rson and projects a powerful sound.
It sounds really full: good bass, low-medium rather that growl, attack presents and shine. Then the style of play and promotes the attack of its kind.
The microphones transmit correctly but does nothing more.
However I found dja all the sounds of my Jazz Bass, others more rock and also more modern sounds with the medium rather creuss.

OVERALL OPINION

Buy stroke heart after you try some low mountains in seeking a more rock. It is completely my expectations (which may be made lean my opinion).
I love its ergonomics, the fact that rson, its acoustic sound.
Due to its quality manufacturing it is worth more than 800!

Without EXAGRES I find better quality than Fender U.S. Deluxe, or the 3 MusicMan I've tried. 700 1000 for less!
At least Ibanez does not care about us.

But the choice of MK2 seems dictated solely by the economy, the bass deserves better and it is no longer MODEL micro to the same dimensions.

I would do even when this choice (for model DX with EMG).
