Sounds like you need a full setup, you can go through the tech section on the main site. Normally i would have said the neck is too straight, but if your action also got higher that's not it.

Then raise the action on the bass side and lower it of the trebble.

Check out the Jemsite and the Ibanez site. Those contain the information you seek. You will need some tools though, maybe some you can't find on your little island, but you might be able to improvise...
Right now it sounds like you'll have to adjust the bridge-height. Nothing can really go wrong there, so it's quite safe to do...
