Fujigen yes, Ibanez no.

The Roland G33 is more related to Greco, and borrows some features from the GOB-II range. Ibanez (Hoshino Gakki) and Greco (Kanda Shokai) did work together and share some designs between them for a while, and both had their manufacturing done at Fujigen Gakki.

I saw them live twice. Second time was on the Thunder & Lightning farewell tour and he was using the Roland bass. The previous time was summer 81 with Snowy White in the band. He was playing the Ibanez then.
