drivebyfader Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 I'm selling a 1979 Ibanez Roadster. It's taken a few bumps over the years but is still in very good condition and plays lovely. Any offers? No trade-ins please. Thanks. [attachment=53538:bass.JPG] [attachment=53540:basshead.JPG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drivebyfader Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 Ah, here's where I get confused! I was only made aware of it's collectability by a friend and I'm not sure what price to ask. I don't want to ask for too little or too much. That's kinda why I joined, I need people who know their basses to help me out! Merello- any ideas? Ta!

andy67 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Odd one to price mate, you really need to do some research on this probably via eBay. I've seen them go from £120 - £300 when watching. Great basses nonetheless. andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 That's very nice - and you'll find a fair few vintage Ibby fans around here. Something in the middle of Andy67's price range is a pretty good ballpark figure, I'd think. Your bass is a Roadster RS800BS, like the one in this 1979 catalogue: [url="http://www.ibanez.co.jp/anniversary/expansion.php?cat_id=42&now=4"]http://www.ibanez.co.jp/anniversary/expans...id=42&now=4[/url] Can't go for it myself at the moment, but good luck!
