The AXB60 is an Axstar series headless solid body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez in 1986. It was made in Japan by Chushin Gakki.

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 AXB60 has a smallish, offset double-cutaway on alder body mated to a set-in maple neck with a 24-fret ebony fingerboard with dot position markers. Components include pair of Ibanez active Lo-ZB humbuckers pickups on the bridge and the neck positions and a fixed bridge. Controls consist of a master volume, master tone and a balancer with a parametric equalizer

The AXB60 was discontinued after 1986 along with the rest of the Axstar line.

The AXB50 is a similar model with basswood body and rosewood fingerboard. The AXB65 is a five string version.
