The RD727 is an Roadbass series solid-body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez for 1990. It was made in Japan by FujiGen. The square profile with hard edge and pointy headstock are roughly shaped after an introduced year earlier RG series.

The RD727 features a double-cutaway basswood body bolted to a maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with sharktooth inlays and a matching headstock. Components include a P50 and J50 passive pickups, an Accu-cast BII fixed bridge with 19mm string spacing, a plastic nut, black hardware and Gotoh tuning machines.

The RD606 and RD808LE are similar models with different pickup configurations. The RD707 is basically the same model with dot inlays.

The RD727 was discontinued after 1991.
