Beedster Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I'm pretty confident that those babies are about to become THE big vintage bass, and that is a splendid example in every possible way. Good luck with the sale David, if it was FL it would have been at Beedster Towers one day after you'd listed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seen a fretless version of this model ... they can always be removed, of course, but seems a shame to change from original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikhay77 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 That's a really nice version,I have one with of these early ones,if my ibanez knowledge is correct,this is mc900nt (22 frets,pre 80),the later mc924 had 24 frets and the 940 was the fretless version of the 924,I think. Still a really rare finish! Good luck with the sale... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingus Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) The fretless version of this bass had a maple board, from what I remember . Sting had one very similar ( but not identical) to this with a fretless maple board he used with the Police quite a lot around 1970-80 , along with a matching fretless Musician Bass in dark brown . These are indeed true classics . I had a Musician Bass back in the day , and they are still as good as just about any bass on the market . This is a lovely example.

bjelkeman Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Oh dear! That would of course be a perfect complement to my MC800...

lowregisterhead Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Very, very nice. I had the slightly later dark brown fretless version in the early 80's. What's the approximate weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
