1988 Ibanez Roadstar II RB835 Dark Wine Bass – MIJ with Hardshell Case

This 1988 Ibanez Roadstar II RB835 is a Japanese-made medium-scale bass produced by FujiGen, featuring a striking black finish with red burst edging and gold hardware. The RB835 is part of Ibanez’s respected Roadstar II lineup and offers a comfortable 32" scale length, striking a perfect balance between traditional long-scale punch and enhanced playability.

The bass features a double-cutaway basswood body paired with a bolt-on maple neck and a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with pearl dot inlays, side markers, and a matching headstock. Electronics consist of dual Ibanez HI-B active pickups powered by the EQ-BII onboard preamp, delivering a wide range of articulate, punchy tones suitable for many playing styles.

Hardware includes an Ibanez Accu-Cast BII bridge with 19mm string spacing, a graphite nut, and Ibanez Smooth Tuner BII tuning machines for solid tuning stability and sustain.

Condition & Setup

This bass has been professionally set up with low, comfortable action and plays smoothly across the neck. The frets have been polished to a mirror finish, the fretboard deep conditioned, and all electronics cleaned and serviced for quiet, crackle-free operation.
