Deedee Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 This looks like quite an interesting old Ibby. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jermaine-Jackson-Tour-Ibanez-Musician-Bass-MC-824-PW-Vintage-Japan-W-Paperwork/202725034456?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 IIRC Nick Smith (@Doctor of the Bass) has Martin Kemp's....nice, if a bit heavy, basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellzero Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 The price is good as well as the condition and nice colour, but who cares if Jermaine has been playing it ? Furthermore there is no photo nor evidence of this fact. Ah, eBay fools paradise... One of these days, I'll sell my fingers as I've played Alain Caron, Marcus Miller, Michel Hatzigeorgiou (and many others) basses and also lent (for free) my Gibson ES-175 jazz guitar for a concert to the late great Toots Thielemans. 😁 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 It's a very nice example and looks in superb condition for its age. Leaving aside the spurious sleb connection, this is a passive MC824, not the active (and higher value) MC924, so on that basis it's not exactly a fantastic bargain - we had one for sale on BC last year for around £300. The condition of this one, and the attendant JJ tat (I suppose) probably adds a couple of hundred to that. The asking price of £800+ delivered for this is a bit eye-watering, particularly considering that won't include CITES paperwork, without which it'll be confiscated and destroyed by UK customs... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
