Up for sale, a 1981 Ibanez Roadster Bass RS924 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. Only produced for a few short years, this early Ibanez Roadster (predating the better-known “Roadstar” series) bass was crafted at the Fujigen factory in Japan, boasting versatile features including a PJ pickup complement and an active two-band EQ (EQ-B2 harness).
Tonewoods include an ash body, maple neck, and maple fingerboard, and this RS924 weighs 10lbs 6oz, dishing out plenty of natural sustain and midrange heft. There are a wide array of sounds on tap via the Super J-4 and Super P-4 pickups, both of which feature ceramic magnets: the Super J-4 single coil yields burp and aggressive grind, while the Super P-4 is broad and smooth with lots of thump on tap. Additionally the active two-band EQ enables a huge amount of tonal sculpting precision, offering everything from cavernous thunder to focused, treble-centric punch. This Roadster Bass RS924 has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-105 roundwound strings, easy-playing action, and accurate intonation.

The satin finish on the neck profile is smooth and clean save for a couple shallow nicks.
The original black tolex hardshell case is included.
