Ibanez basses are mint. I had a 5-string bass for ages and never had any problems with it played mint as, even through drops, spills, etc( though probably not great to try and test this on your new bass ). After it went walking from my car I got a Washburn 6-string for about the same price ( on sale ) and that sounds pretty good for meh music genre ( music shop dudes said they made good quality average price basses).
If you do go to buy a bass try it out first make sure there are no horrible buzzes on the frets and check that the intonation is right ( or at least ask them to check it as they can fix it if it is out ). Maybe ask for them to give you a demo on it if your new ( although a lot of music shop employees are not musicians it would be worth a try )
