Bassassin Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Cimar by, well, Cimar, whoever the hell they were. At this point there was no "official" connection between the 2 brands except Hoshino was somehow involved in distribution. These weren't made by Fujigen & having had the exact same bass as this (apart from the white rattle can + power-sander "relic" job), they are low-end plywood mid 70s JapCrap, with nothing much to their credit beyond the fact of still being in one piece after 35 years of abuse.

Don't like the defret job much...[/quote] I'm fairly sure the neck & body of this bass don't belong together but it's interesting all the same. Shame about the defret, these are lovely necks - my no.1 Jazz is a somewhat modified 1980 CSL with the same neck: [attachment=26634:CSL2008.jpg] For the new-to-JapCrap I'll point out that this wasn't made at the Ibanez Factory because it doesn't exist, as Ibanez is just a brand name. However it was made at Fujigen Gakki, the same factory as most 70s & 80s Ibbys - and subsequently MIJ Fenders, so there is a connection. The headstock shape here is the same as the older Ibby Blazers - although you won't find any of them with black blocks... J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BIN on this one is more than I paid for mine in similar condition - but who knows? I guess they are worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. Great instruments though, beautifully made.

Bassassin Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 Very bargainacious uber-80s black/red Ibanez Roadstar II, £125 BIN: [url="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/IBANEZ-ROADSTAR-2-RB750-BASS-GUITAR-BLACK-RED_W0QQitemZ250444544383"]http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/IBANEZ-ROADSTAR-2-RB...emZ250444544383[/url] Looks like it needs a little bit of tidying, another one I'd have no hesitation in grabbing myself at a different time. Polite request though for anyone who goes for this - [i]please[/i] don't offer to flog it to me for £100 more than you bought it for, m'kay? J.
