The G-33/G-88 bass guitar, like all the vintage Roland guitars, was built by the Fuji Roland corporation, a joint venture by Roland and the Fujigen Gakki.

Fujigen Gakki (now known as FGN guitars) also made the Ibanez guitars, and the G-88 seems to be a variation on the Ibanez MC-800 bass. Like the high-end Ibanez basses, the G-33/G-88 has active electronics. The G-33/G-88 has two bands of active equalization, bass and treble.

The electronics are powered by two 9 volt batteries or by power provided by the guitar synthesizer. There is an access door on the back of the G-33/G-88 for the battery.

The video is linked here as well as in the discription at 5:32 showing that Steve Harris used a G-33/G-88
