ash Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) I got this as a fixer upper and now it plays really well and sounds great albeit with some cosmetic issues. The bass is a Japan made Roadstar dating from the early 80s it has a fancy birdseye laminate top with binding and a birdseye laminate headstock. The neck is three piece maple with a rosewood fretboard. It has more of a Jazz nut width to it. A lovely fast neck to play. Electrics are passive, very powerful despite the 'soapbar' styling pickups are similar to a P and J set up with blend pot, master tone, volume and switch. Very versatile. One of the tuners is a replacement, other than that it is all original down to the strange strap buttons and rubber sleeved controls. The 'Ibanez' decal has been damaged slightly as pictured. The bass comes without a case, its light weight - under 9lbs I'd say. I would prefer pickup but will post UK. Sorry no trades. Edited December 23, 2013 by ash
