I picked up this MC-980 a couple of weeks ago to go with my 924. I’ve been after this particular bass for around 30 years after missing it by literally minutes at a local second hand music shop in the early 90s. I knew the guy who had bought it but I couldn’t prise it out of his hands. He sold it a few years later to another friend of a friend so I knew where it was again. I messaged him out the blue last week and he gave in. 
I spent the afternoon giving it a thorough deep clean as it hadn’t been used in years. The nut needed replacing as he swapped the strings over so the drones were under the main strings. I restrung it correctly and swapped the saddles back but had to get a nut sorted last week along with a good fret dress.  
I’m absolutely over the moon with it, I’ve had a Ric 4003/8s, A Spector 8 prototype and a Couple of Chinese cheap brand ones but this one kept niggling away in my head.
