Bass Fumbler Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Looks very similar to an old Ibinez Blazer bass I had which would have been about 1983/4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Odd s/n. Be inclined to think it's 1984 though. @Bass Fumbler - similarities to Ibanez are purely intentional - Cimar was owned by Hoshino Gakki, which was the parent company of Ibanez. From around 1980 there were attempts to bring the ranges closer together resulting in later Cimars being badges as "Cimar By Ibanez". The very first Ibanez Blazer (which had a different headstock & pickup to the common P-type blazers) was the same bass as the Cimar Stinger. Anyway - here's an interesting German page about Cimar basses, which, for everyone's convenience, and assuming their German is as bad as mine, I've linked through Google Translate Cimar Basses Looks like the bass is a model 2210. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
