View Full Version : Modded the Ibanez Roadster a bit.

The Roadster was looking kind of bland so I decided to modify it a bit. I put the DiMarzio Split P pickup in it, then I moved on to the neck. For the neck mod I decided to replace the black dots with Mother of Pearl dots, and I inlayed a MOP Dot in the headstock. I plan on putting an Abalone design around the dot in the headstock, I just haven't figured out what yet. Here she is.

That's cool. My only beef is that the cream-cased pickup looks ugly and/or out of place. And it's hard to see the other pup, but it's the same on my Peavey (black body, DiMarzios).

The look of that Ibanez Roadster really, really bothers me for some reason, and the single white J pickup looks awkward.

Not bad, the cream case pickup does look out of place, but a good looking bass.

I can see you hate pick up covers :lol:
Anyway, back on topic. I think the cream jazz pickup looks out of place, I know it's a petty thing but if you replaced with with a black pickup I think it'd look amazin'

I don't really like the pearl dots though.. They're too big and black was better maybe. :)

Right n ow I have 7 basses and a project Rickenbacker. I'm keeping the Iby.
To the guy with the Tobias, if you only have one bass, that's a good one to have.:thumb:

Heh, I think you need to colour co-ordinate it a bit more.
It's not bad looking, but its not a patch on your other basses yet.

I totally agree with this man. On top of that I liked the cream pick-up covers.
