Rockbasses have reasonably standard woods and sub-par hardware, as opposed to real Warwicks which have high-grade exotic woods and outstanding hardware. The only thing a Rockbass gives you that a Warwick offers is MEC electronics and pickups which are the worst part of Warwicks to begin with!
That being said, 90% of Ibanez is made in Korea.

Also, MEC pickups are not as bad as you make them out to be. You say they are bad, ok, what's bad about them. Be specific, don't just say tone or volume.
