Mat did not produce Ibanez... and I can tell you these are Korean. My bass which is in the pict came with the Made in Korea sticker and is exactly like the one you provided in the link...
There are so many different builders in the 70 and 80`s... guitars are not all made at the same place as Aria and Ibanez...
Please bear in mind that Hondo and Kay were in mass production in the 70`s out of Korea.... under all kind of names...
