Ibanez RB650 Roadstar II Bass with Maple Fretboard 1984

1984 Ibanez Roadstar II RB650 — FujiGen‑Built

This 1984 Ibanez Roadstar II RB650 was built at the FujiGen Gakki factory during the era that established Ibanez as a maker of reliable, road‑ready instruments.

It’s in very good condition for a 41‑year‑old working bass. It shows honest wear from decades of use, but underneath the scars is a solid, high‑quality instrument that helped make the Roadstar line a cult favorite. The neck is stable and it plays with the ease and comfort FujiGen was known for in the mid‑’80s.

The original Ibanez Super P4 and Super J4 pickups deliver the bright, punchy, articulate tone that made the RB series a sleeper hit.

This one has the factory two‑volume, no‑tone wiring found on certain 1983–84 runs. With no tone pot loading the circuit, the bass has a slightly higher output and a more open top end.
