Shepster8316 Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 Ibanez Musician MC-924 bass. October 1980 according to the serial No. I realise I may be able to get more for it, but I'd rather it was used as intended and to a good home. I'll throw in a non-original, but decent hard case. As far as I can make out this is the 1980 model and one of the top end ones of that era, so it has a active/passive switch, pickup selector, 3-band EQ, master vol, tone and a weird gain knob to control the pre-amp output. No idea where people find immaculate ones to sell, but this one has the battle scars of being 38 years old and used. Hopefully zooming in on the pics will highlight the chips, dinks and buckle rash on the body , head-stock end and a couple on the back of the neck. A good tech recently resolved the minor pre-amp issue and fitted a new genuine fancy jack that these things have. Also recently set up to finger play and with Rotosound 100-40 stainless rounds. It's marked, heavy and has one rubber bit on a knob missing, but it's nice to play and a bit of a collectors item if nothing else. The frets are good and the ebony fretboard unmarked. Truss rod works, but stiff. Happy to post it too. 1
lowregisterhead Posted May 25, 2018 Posted May 25, 2018 I had the fretless version of this exact model back in the very early 80's. A little weighty as you said, but it sounded fantastic, and was really well made. GLWTS.
