The AXB1000 is an Axstar series headless solid body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez in 1986. It was made in Japan by FujiGen.
The Axstar series features a headless design with a tailpiece tuning mechanism located on the body behind the bridge rather than on the headstock as in a more conventional design.
The AXB1000 features neck-through-body construction with alder body wings attached to a maple and walnut neck. The neck has a 24-fret bound ebony fingerboard with mother of pearl position markers. Components include dual Ibanez Lo-ZBhumbucking pickups, on the bridge and the neck positions and a Steinberger fixed bridge. Controls consist of a master volume, master tone, balancer and black hardware. It comes with a Steinberger badge on the bridge and headpiece.

All of the string dimensions are the same as any 1980s – 1990s "Steinberger XP or XM bass", because the Axstar uses the same bridge and headpiece with a 34" scale length.

String spacing at the nut is 9.5 mm, or 28.5 mm total from Low E to High G strings.
Width of nut is 1-1/2" or 38 mm.
Width of fretboard at the last (24th) fret is 2-3/16" or 56 mm.
