Alan Lancaster 1 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Saludos a todos, amigos de los grabes tonos. Quiero comprar un Bajo Ibanez MC900. ¿En qué me tengo que fijar? Leí hace poco que algunos venian con cierto problema en la circuiteria pero no sé si se referian al previo o a que. ¿Algun consejo? Gracias.

Bassassin Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Quote Greetings to all, friends of the recording tones. I want to buy an Ibanez MC900 Bass. What do I have to look at? I read recently that some came with a certain problem in the circuitry but I don't know if they were referring to the previous one or what. Any advice? Quite difficult - the MC900 was the first, and consequently rarer 22-fret iteration of the Musican range. I'm not aware of any circuitry issues with these but it's probably reasonable that if an example has issues, they will have shown themselves by now. There will be specific MC series experts who know much more than me, perhaps ask for advice here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ibanezvintageguitars There's also a BC member who's recently acquired an MC800, which is the passive electronics version, he might be able to give info & advice about build & playability: These were the top end of Ibanez' range at the time and build quality is generally exceptionally high. Obviously a bass that's 40-odd years old will have had a life, but unless it's been abused or has excessive play wear I wouldn't expect any construction-related issues. I'm not sure if you're just looking for one of these, or are asking advice about a particular one you're interested in buying - if you're still looking, considering the rarity of the early MC900s, I think if you'd consider a later MC924, there would be a lot more choice available. Hope this helps a bit! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I agree there would be a lot more choice when you include the MC824 and MC924 in your search The Musician range has seen many changes in shape (round edges, bevelled edges), neck dimensions (models up to 1983 had HUGE necks, 1983 and onward are a lot sleeker and narrower), pickup configuration and electronics. All are well-made and were at the top of their league together with the Yamaha BB series and Aria Pro II SB series in my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
