6. Congrats On The Addition

I have a 5 string Fender Jazz as my one & only bass.
I have 15 guitars, but only 1 bass.
What color Ibanez mini do you have? I saw one that looked just like my Satriani model Ibanez. I think the body shape of the mini is based on the JS guitars. Mine is transparent red.
It's my clear #1 electric, though I have 6 others.
Funny story: being an Ibanez fan since the 70s, I thought I'd check out their factory in Nagoya. So. I got off the bullet train to Kobe. Rented a car, drove to the HQ. There is no factory!
Later, I found out that Ibanez has never had a manufacturing site. They have always used contract manufacturing. They deign, someone builds, they market them.
I spent 3 hours looking for a factory that doesn't exist!
