Is this what it says on the headstock??

Found this really nice looking white "Ibanez Roadstar 11" on eBay - stupidly cheap at the moment but it doesn't look like any of the images in Google. Anybody know what it is and if they're any good??

Edit: It's the RB850 model...

Anybody know anything about them other than they look quite cool..

Yep, it's an Ibanez Roadstar II from the mid 80's. I've got one of these in sparkly burgundy. I picked it up from Musical Exchanges in Brum in 1987. I went in for a [email="R*ckenb@cker"]R*ckenb@cker[/email] as I was in a major REM phase, but this little beauty blew me away. These are fantastic, versatile Basses and I gigged mine solidly for the best part of 20 years. Never let me down once and it got some real abuse on the road. My 850 is the only Bass I own which I would never think of selling.

£127? Still a stoopid bargain!
