Bass Identification - 1984 Ibanez Roadstar II

Hey,

There's this used bass selling for USD 280. It is a 1984 Ibanez Roadstar II MIJ series. All original parts. Good playing condition.

Can you identify what model is this? The roadstars begin with 'RB' but I can't seem to find any models from that year that is similar looking to this bass. I need to know its specifications.

Is it worth paying that amnt of money for this bass?

Anyone has a review for this bass?

Thanks!
 
It looks like a 1985 RB960 PW (polar white). But it should have 4 control knobs (Gold) on it. It looks like yours has 3 knobs and possibly a toggle?
I have a 1985 RB760 (slightly lower model) and it is one of my all time favorites. I paid $140 CDN for mine a couple months ago but it is not as good shape as yours.
You will find it really cuts through the mix. I think it's worth $280 but you "may" always be able to cut a better deal.
Cheers
