PhilT Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Can anyone tell me specifically what year/model this is, and about how much they go for? I really want an Ibanez Roadstar bass but i can't find one anywhere. I've heard they pop up on ebay occasionally but i'd rather but one elsewhere...

Later it was subsumed into the "Roadster" and "Roadstar" family. The early Blazers were AFAIK one pickup jobs, just a P, so this is either a mod or transition model. The Roadstars had PJs mostly, though some had the P alone, and the roadstars were mostly made of basswood bodies which were painted, whilst the early blazers were oil on Ash mostly. Some variations always abound, and you will find the lower level factory output at the time with the same shape and headstock with the brand "Cimar". Theese basses have a fantastic neck , thin and fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
