G&L Tributes also moved from Korea to Indonesia, I believe around 2004-2005.

I have an Indonesian built RockBass. It's one of the best I've played but I really would like to know who built it because Warwick has no Asian factories.

There's a link on Warwick's homepage that is a drop down menu under products. It has Germany, Korea.....

This mean those are sales in Korea and not made in Korea?

I thought they were first built in China? Seems like everyone is moving to Indonesia though.

Interesting. korea got too expensive? Where did everybody go?

Hello, I'm trying to identify a bass I just got. It looks like the sunburst model in your profile photo. Do you know what brand and model it is? Mine doesn't have any markings.

I have had a Schecter Raiden - Passive with bolt-on neck. That could have been and Indonesian bass now that I think about it. Still, great bass!
Also had a Schecter Elite with EMGs and Preamp, Neck Thru. That one I know was MIK.

I don't know that country of origin on the Omen Elite basses, but I played one about a year ago at a GC. They are a pretty low grade instrument in my opinion. Very reminiscent of some of GC's Mitchell (their house brand) instruments. no body contours, semi-exposed cloth wrapped (what look like guitar) pickups. Yikes!!!

Check out Willows Guitars. www.willowsguitar.com
Swing Guitars are great too, so I hear.

PS: When you come over here to Korea, you might wanna visit the Nakwon Mall. Tons of shops there you can take a look around.

I've had 2 Laklands, 2 G&L's, and Sandberg's from Korea.
Sandberg was the best followed by Lakland.
If you go back to the 80's, the Korean made Spector NS2A was amazing.
