The neck is bolted on the back using 4 bolts. Double dots are used on the 12th and 24th fret. The fretboard has a full 2 octaves, 24 frets. The truss bar cover is plastic and is marked “Roadstar”, but because it is a black cover on black varnish, this will not be easily seen in a photo. There is no make nor model marking on the headstock itself. The triangle tilts more to the right than the left. I read somewhere that they were then sued by Hamer for the triangular headstock design, and therefore were not used in subsequent versions. Most other Ibanez bass models do not use this location, thankfully.Īnother interesting feature of the RB800 is the triangular headstock. While it might be Ok for a guitar, it is terrible for a bass. Putting the model label in this location was a mistake. On the black version, you can tilt the bass and in the right light, you will still be able to read the “Ibanez RB800” label as well as “Ultimate Expression of Craftsmanship” byline. This area is prone to heavy use and scratching with the thumb and pick.
The Ibanez RB800 has the model label on the bass body to the left of the strings and just above the neck pickup. Ibanez Roadstar II RB800 electric bass, 1987: Neck connects to body with 4 Philips head bolts and washers
