  2. 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.

  4. I bought this MC-924 DS Last may after having sold an MC-900 around 20 years ago and regretted it. I always had the thought to replace it and eventually got round to picking this one up from its original owner down near Tunbridge Wells.

    I’ve also been searching for this particular Ibanez MC980 for over 30 years after missing out on buying it by literally minutes at a local second hand guitar shop. A friend knew I was looking for one and spotted this and rang me. I rang the shop immediately and told them to hang on to it and I was on my way. Between leaving the house and arriving at the shop it had been sold by another sales person. I was gutted but knew who had bought it. I tried for a few years to try and persuade the owner to sell me it but he wasn’t interested. It was converted to a 4 string but he then sold it on. The last owner converted it back to 8 but with the drones on the underside of the main strings.
    Even though I’d given up on it and was searching elsewhere for one, I thought I’d try my luck and drop the last owner a message last week. Turned out he hadn’t used it in years and he was happy to sell it to me on Saturday. 

    I’ve done a strip and deep clean, flipped saddles back to original and getting a new nut made this week. 
    I’ve had a Ric 4003/8, a Spector Prototype 8 and a couple of budget ones over the years but they never had the draw this one had. Feels like it’s ‘come home’. First picture is uncleaned as it was when I collected it, the rest are after the cleaning process.

  5. My 1982 BB2000. I love this bass. Such an amazing bass to play and the tone is absolutely brilliant. I’d lusted after these ever since I saw a Yamaha catalogue in the late 80s. Picked this up in April 2023. It’s a keeper.

  6. I searched for this cab for nearly 35 years. Eventually finding one in London and collected it on 8/12/22. I hadn’t thought about getting the matching head until a mate planted the seed in my (ASD) head. The Sod! 🤣 

    I managed to find this fully working one at a reasonable price and got it delivered almost a year to the day of the cab.  It’s good to have the matching pair, I have a penchant for big old rigs and this goes into the ‘keeper’ collection now.

    Who does the Flea Jazz belong to? I've always liked the look of those but have been put off by tales of shonky necks (surely a tiny percentage of all those sold, since you only ever hear about problems). Can it get a good growly Jazz sound going? I'm not expecting a 70's style ash 'n' maple style growl but I like a little bit of a buzzy snarl from a J. What did you all think of it? 

    @Ghost Rideris the current owner. It used to belong to Tim (in the pictures) until last week

    Nice pics - which one is the mad Russian plastic bass from the 80’s though? 

    IMG_7320.thumb.jpeg.b3b88a6e600606a168a115b8efcbd755.jpeg

    “ELECTRIC GUITAR 4 str. semi-acoustic art. 426 r PCT RSFSR 508-75 MAA 1987 The price is 125 rubles. 197061, Jlerun pa, 33 ECCA he is Chapaeva, 15 r. coch T. Lenuprizdat”

     

    The body is a strange ‘composite’ type plastic. As you says It doesn’t look plastic, it also doesn’t feel or sound it. 30” scale 
     

    The translation of the company name is Marya or Maria.
