FS-IBANEZ ROADSTAR II P/J

[lowphatbass]

PRICE DROP-$335 SHIPPED
This is a really great sounding bass, and 100% original except the strings as best I can tell. There's some small dings and scratches here and there but the paint is in really great shape, looks mint from 20 feet away. The neck has a nice deep, dark, aged look to it. There are darker spots on the G string side of the fingerboard where the original factory finish has worn/come off, while the contrast looks abrupt it can't be felt, and you certainly can't feel it whilst playing. The model sticker (RB650) is still on the back of the headstock. Tuners, bridge and electronics all work perfectly, truss rod is fully operational, there is very, very little fret wear and the fretwork is excellent.


$335 SHIPPED CONUS
NO CASE OR BAG
PAYPAL/CONUS ONLY

I prefer to ship with the neck removed.

I wish you wanted a telecaster (MIM) because I would sure like this bass.

Not something I'm looking for right now, but that's a pretty solid offer. I will keep it in mind.

[Lazarus.Bird]

Sweet bass!

[genstormbringer]

yes it is a sweet sweet bass

[lowphatbass]

Thanks so much, I agree.

I failed to mention this feature earlier, I'm sorry about that-

It's a paint crack only, pretty typical for this era/type of bass, but some folks hate 'em so it's definitely worth noting.
At this point I'm going to reserve the right to change my mind/end sale at any time.

[krustwell]

sweet looking bass.

[RedLeg]

[lowphatbass]

Serial # G84..etc(1984)

[Standalone]

that clean body and just-right broken in neck are a very good signs -- pointing to a sweet playing bass and one that's been well played and taken care of.

I have an '82 version of this, single P. Nice bass.

I took the neck off tonight, a lot of the pocket is covered by primer or a light coat of paint. I couldn't tell you much about the body wood, it's pretty light in color. So far I've heard Birch, Alder and Bass wood tossed out there as the possible wood they used.

[krustwell]

Cool, thanks for checking. I tried reading up on these guys and thought the consensus was they changed to bassswood around 84. Prior to that, alder, I think. Guess yours could go either way.

[lowphatbass]

I sure couldn't tell..

[rojo412]

Beautiful! Quite a lovely bass, good luck with the sale.


basswood and birch

Thanks for the "ad" bump rojo!
