SOLD .... FS/FT: Ibanez MC924 Musician 1981 fretless with fretlines, original hardcase £650

[FunkyFresh]

Hi again,

up for grabs is my great Musician fretless from 1981. I am not that big a fretless player, so I will like to part with it. Though it sounds amazing and feels just great. It is a MC924 with Super P5 and J5 pickups and the Ibanez 3-band EQ. Frets have been professionally replaced with wooden fretlines. The rosewood fingerboard sounds very warm and gives a lot of mwah. Body is ash, neck-thru is 5ply Maple/Mahogany (?).

Condition is very good for a 1981. Light buckle rash on the back, nothing more eye catching. Rest is very good looking. And everything is functioning just fine. Buckle rash is only in the clear coating, so a light polishing will reduce that to nothing as well.

I am open for offers. Insured and tracked shipping in original hardcase is no problem in the EU.


Some sound sample:

Gorgeous fretless up here!

Fretted to fretless conversion looks tidy. How much wear is there on the fingerboard?

[FunkyFresh]

There is only a little bit of wear visible in the middle of the second octave , since it has not been played a lot (with flats always of course). Only lives in its case for many years. I will update a photo of that today!

[FunkyFresh]

Sorry for the delay... Here is a pic which shows a bit of the wear. One can mostly see it on the E (and a bit A) string. Very superficial and not hearable. I guess the original owner once tried Roundwounds. It is so superficial that I couldn't really photograph it, as you can see on the pics in the first post, it looks very tidy!

Hit me with an offer! For the rest of the week: 800€ incl shipping and OHSC.

I so want this bass and I just can't justify it, even to myself... But someone needs to pick up this lovely instrument, so solid and such a lush tone. Type of bump.

[FunkyFresh]

Thanks for the kind comment If you're interested, maybe we can arrange on "less to justify for yourself" ;-)
