VedranPU Posted July 8, 2017 Author Share Posted July 8, 2017 I really don't know... till yesterday I was convinced that these are originals... now I'm not so sure... googled a bit.. :-) Super P4 is the exact name of original pick up which is very similar to DiMarzio (Allens hex poles)...

andy67 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Hey thanks for the reply 👍 they are clearly not original but that doesn't mean they are in anyway inferior 🤘 it's a brill bass in its own right 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassassin Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) [quote name='megallica' timestamp='1499578590' post='3332254'] Pickup looks stock. The roadster rs824 and rs924 came with dimarzios. [/quote] They didn't. None of the early 80s Ibbys (Blazer, Roadster, Roadstar II) that used Fender-type pickups had DiMarzios - they were all fitted with what Ibanez called Super P-4, or Super J-4 in the case of P/J basses. These were probably made by Maxon/Nisshin Onpa, who supplied most of the pickups used in Fujigen-built guitars & basses in the 70s & 80s. They superficially resemble DiMarzios with the hex poles & cream covers on some - which was doubtless entirely intentional. Easiest way to check if your hex-pole pickup is a DiMarzio is to stick an Allen key in it - DiMarzios use Imperial sizes so your metric key won't fit. VedranPU's bass is an Ibanez RB630 from about 1984 (can't see the serial) and the pickups aren't original, & neither are the control knobs or strap buttons. Unfortunately original Sure-Grip 2s and Dead End strap buttons are like rocking-horse poo. Edited July 11, 2017 by Bassassin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VedranPU Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 [size=4]Hi again... serial no: [color=#1D2129][font=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]C855296 means March 1985... don't know bout the PU and the control knobs... but the strap buttons surely aren't original... I put these, chinese Schaller strap lock copy... However, the old strap buttons were not the "arrow" form so I presume even the old strap buttons were not the originals... Anyway, the bass sounds powerful and strong and it is a real pleasure to play it... [/font][/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
