SOLD Ibanez Musician MC824 1985 passive model £350

[mikegatward]

This is circa 1985 Ibanez Musician MC824, the passive version of the active MC924

It features the same ash body/maple neck thru, construction 

I got it a few years ago but its not getting much use and with my impending retirement I’m thinning the herd

There's lots of wear and tear on front ,and rear body but nothing bad or dangerous. A purist would refinish it but it’s perfectly playable as is. I’d put weight at about 9.5 lbs, a lot lighter than the MC924

Prefer collection or meet up for this as i’ve no case or bag for it. I am Wakefield based but travel to Manchester regularly 

 

The price is £295

If so it might just set off a chain reaction on this marketplace 😀

For full disclosure - I suspect these pickups are not original but they were on the bass when I bought it.

so am open to offers is this is the case. More pics added

Hi Mike,

These are indeed the original pickups, J6 they were called but the 2 screws in the middle either side of the pickup don't belong there so must be a logical reason for that . It should also have the duo sound push pull switch if I remember.

If I didn't have 2 Musicians already I would have been interested for a project. GLWTS

There’s no pull-push pot on this

Looks like the original covers with different units mounted underneath. That would account for the additional screws.

Still a bargain - why's it still here?
