Up for sale, a 1981 Ibanez Musician MC924 bass in excellent condition and in perfect working order. An early example of the MC924 with features only available from 1980-81, this bass is outfitted with Ibanez’s Super 4 pickups.
The MC924 boasts a full 34" scale length and neck through body design, with a three-piece maple neck reinforced with thin strips of walnut. The dark stained ash body wings sandwich a core of mahogany for a very complex and rich tone, and weighing a robust 10lbs 4oz, this bass has a healthy natural sustain with thick low end that growls and punches with great articulation. The "Super 4" pickups have a smooth, present treble response, and the slab ebony fretboard accentuates the note attack and round, present tonal quality of the instrument. This MC924 benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 45-100 roundwound strings, easy-playing action and accurate intonation.

The gloss Dark Stain finish shows some expected light pick scuffing on top and light buckle worming, with some finish loss central to the back and a few minor dings on the body as a whole. The finish on the neck profile is smooth and clean, highlighting curly flame figuring in the central maple third.
A padded Roadrunner case is included.
