It was made in korea in 2002 (i thoght it was 2002)it cost me 429 euro's
It has got 24 frets and 5 strings. The controls are volume, bass, middle and treble. It has 2 active jazz-pickups.
I got it with case (i ordered+paid without, lucky me!).
It has got a thin neck and a pretty tight b-string (tight enough for me).
Sound

I really like the sound of all the strings. Only the g a little less, because all the other strings have a warm sound, but this one hasn't it has a much more clean sound even on the 24st fret.
It suits my musicstyle (prog metal) perfect.
The only problem that I have with it is that everything you do on the strings (like sliding a bit over it) is heard trough ther emp.
I think I'll use it in studio and live. Especially live because it is easy to play!

It was in perfect shapen except for 2 small bludges next to the output.
Reliability/Durability
:

THis bass will withstand live playing. Only watch out for bludges. The hardware will surely last, if you have batteries...
The strapbuttons are really solid!!
I don't think I would need a back up, just extra batteries!

I have been playing for 2 years. I own a ibanez gsr190 too.
I'd buy it again, but I can;t because it isn;t made anymore.
I compared it to the yamaha rbx375 and the olp 5-string, this one just had much tighter strings and sounded better. also it looked very good.
