New Ibanez SR1400's ?

I got pics and this thing looks AMAZING!!! i'll try and post them tonight or tomorrow morning. And as far as the sound goes, this is the most versatile bass that ibanez has ever produced. The nordstrands are very strong and clear. The strings are very balanced and by that i mean, the low end doesn't overpower the top end, and the midrange doesn't drop out or sound too high or low. It is an amazing sounding bass, I play it non-stop :bassist: Pics coming tonight or tomorrow!!! Stay Tuned :cool:
 
As promised, PICS PICS PICS!!!!!!

Here are pics of my SR1405E:

I can't remember any Ibby bass with a mediocre fret job (let alone bad) - and I've owned more than a few. Every single one had perfectly finished and rounded fret edges. Now either I'm very lucky, or the bad lemons are quite rare - at least when it comes to frets. I've seen one here and there with a rattling pickup or a broken key or knob though.
 
Yeah that caught me off guard too, I heard "Ibanez Premium Factory" and thought Japan, then saw it was in Indonesia. The video on the site shows only a close up of a CNC router cutting the top of one and nothing else of the factory.
