Cimar electric bass age?

[Brooks81]

I’m trying to date this Cimar electric bass, any ideas when this was made? Many thanks,

Looks very similar to an old Ibinez Blazer bass I had which would have been about 1983/4

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

Looks like the bass is a model 2210.
