    For sale 1984 Ibanez Roadstar IB760 Bass

    No major scratches or even a ton of buckle rash on this bass however, there’s an indent behind the neck, nothing too serious but it looks like the previous owner dug in really deep with his fretting hand. Overall plays great and was set up with no issues turning the truss rod for a 36+ yr old...

    I am just starting out on bass guitar. I have an Ibanez SoundGear SR405 5 string. A good friend of mine has a pretty nice Dean 4 string bass(not sure what the model is). I find I can play the 4 string much better due to the wider string spacing. I am looking at a 1985 Ibanez Roadstar II RB850 4...
