couple of diffrent bass questions.

Ok so I am in the market for a new bass. Ive been suggested a few already, Schecter Omen-5, LTD D-5, and the Ibanez SR405QM. I have a few questions about them....

1. How are the pickups?
2. How is the finish?
3. Where was it made?
4.How does it hold up after being in a case for a long time? (I will be playing bass at my school next year and when we go on trips it will be sitting in it's case in a truck or trailer for a long period of time)
5. How does it hold up in general? (Tuning wise,finis wise, all those things)

If you own any of the three basses I have listed above please answer all 5 of my questions. Or if you have another suggestion for me please tell me and answer the five questions as well, but they must be within the $300-$450 ish range, have active pickups, and be a five-stringer. Thanks!:bassist:
