For sale is the legendary Ibanez Roadstar I| RB960
Made for only one year, this top of the line, made in Japan vintage Ibanez bass is currencly for sale. This is your chance to own one of the rarest and best basses Ibanez has ever produced!
These basses are quite rare to come across, especially in such good condition.
This bass is a feeler, if you're looking at this listing, you probably already know what this bass is all about. Amazing range of tones, top of the line hardware and woods and playability of a true road and studio worthy bass. I've used it mostly in the studio because it's a really easy to work with bass, holds tuning for days and it's tones are second to none. Although it is fitted with roundwound strings, flatwounds really sound amazing on it, as is the case with many vintage basses.
As you can see from the photos, this bass has some minor dings on the body and buckle rushes in the back, after all it's a 38 year old bass, but none of them is serious or affects the playability in any way. Only on the front of the body, where the thumb is placed is some minor wear on the finish. The bass is all original, down to the last screw, has been well taken care off and the woods have been polished in order to not dry. The truss rod works great, the frets as you can see are in perfect condition, both under the strings and on the edges, the neck is in perfect condition with no twists or problems at all. Nothing rattles, nothing vibrates. This bass is built like a tank. But besides of it being built like a tank, it's classy too. White colour, binding on the edges of the body and gold hardware.
The bass will be shipped in the gig bag you see, it's a rockbag branded gigbag with some wear, but it'll be mostly included to make sure the bass arrives at it's new home safe and sound. If you want, it can be shipped as parts, neck and body.
