OK, I tried out a Millennium 5 AC BXP (made in Indonesia), and it was ok. Very much a budget instrument, on closer examination.
The sound was good enough, and I thought the B was decent enough. On a par with Ibanezes I've tried. One of the tuners was strangely hard to turn in comparison to the others. The deep black finish was well done and attractive. The model I picked up was very light, so suffered a little neck dive when seated, though none when standing. The monorail system for the bridge is actually fairly fiddly to set height and intonate on and I couldn't lower the saddles enough to get a low set-up. I'd have had to shim the neck or grind the underside of each individual saddle down a little further. The nut slots were cut too high, another annoyance, making first position stiff and difficult. Nothing a luthier couldn't sort out, but again, enough of a faff in conjunction with everything else that I decided I was going to return it. So I did.
I think a reasonable enough budget axe, once you took it to a luthier, but the Lakland 55-01 I tried out this week very much surpassed it in a number of ways. The Lakland cost more than twice the price though...even used!
I will be receiving a Peavey GV bass this week and look forward to the comparison. USA made, graphite neck, etc. Same body shape and similar pickup system, though...
