Vintage 1984 Ibanez Roadstar II Series Bass – Made in Japan (Serial A844122)

Up for grabs is a killer piece of golden-era Japanese craftsmanship. This 1984 Ibanez Roadstar II Series bass is a straight-up workhorse built for players who want massive tone, rock-solid reliability, and that unmistakable vintage mojo without breaking the bank.

Tone & Specs

Equipped with a high-output humbucker pickup, this bass delivers a punchy, thick low-end growl that cuts clean through any mix. The control layout is simple and effective: volume, tone, and a mini-toggle switch for versatile tone shaping. It features a rock-maple neck with a dark, gorgeous rosewood fingerboard, standard dot inlays, and the classic oversized, heavy-duty clover leaf tuners that keep tuning locked down tight.

Condition & Character

This instrument has spent its life doing exactly what it was built for—making music. The neck plate proudly displays the "Made in Japan" stamp alongside serial number A844122, placing its production right at the start of January 1984.

The finish has aged into a beautiful, creamy metallic pearl/silver hue that looks incredible under the lights. It shows honest, real-world wear from decades of use, including small dings, finish chips along the lower edges, and light surface swirling. The headstock shows minor edge wear but remains completely solid, sporting the iconic, sharp Roadstar II script.

Why You Need It

1980s MIJ Ibanez instruments are legendary for matching or outright outperforming their American counterparts from the same era. This bass is perfectly balanced, highly resonant, and ready to hit the stage or the studio tracking room right out of the box.

Ships fully insured with professional packaging. Don't miss out on a classic, road-ready MIJ thumper.
