1985 Ibanez Roadstar II
Hello Again Everyone!!
The next bass to be sold is my 1985 Ibanez Roadstar II bass. This bass was purchased from Paulo and was meant to be part of an Ibanez Vintage bass collection that I had started. I am looking for fast sales......only to prevent me from changing my mind!
The bass is in good condition with signs of being played. This is not an abused bass, but definitely used. The bass comes with after market tuners modeled after the original tuners and our Kickass bridge. It also comes with the stock hardware and the factory case. The strings are DR Hi-beams and are less than a month old The buttons are Dunlop but the stock buttons are also included. It also comes with a match Xtender as pictured below! IMO the prices on the Japanese instruments will likely see an increase within the next 10 years. We have begun seeing this with the MIJ Fender instruments from this period.
The price on this is $350.00 with free shipping in the lower 48 States....the price is pretty much firm as I paid more for it. Please let me know if there are any questions!
Thanks for looking!!
Bill

These are fantastic basses. The bassist in my other cover band plays a white righty one and he always gets a great punchy tone.
Good luck with your sale, Bill. If I ever find a white lefty, I'll be all over it.

Thanks Peter!!
This thing both plays and feels really good! It is one of the bases that I will miss!
You know, I'll throw in a can of white spray paint.......no charge.

I'm hurt, yet relieved that I don't have to think about anymore...

Carmine, thanks in part to your positive reviews of these basses I had to snag this one. I'm sure it will be a killer bass.
