CHRISDABASS Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Hi Im selling this bass for a good friend of mine! Its an all original 1979 Ibanez Musician (MC900) seen on the far right in the first pic [attachment=42661:3.jpg] [attachment=43135:DSCF0444.JPG] [attachment=43136:DSCF0446.JPG] [attachment=43137:DSCF0448.JPG] [attachment=43138:DSCF0449.JPG] [attachment=43139:DSCF0447.JPG] [attachment=43140:DSCF0450.JPG] (The bass appears slightly lighter in colour due to the lighting) Its in pretty good condition for a bass of 30+ years There are a few scuff and scrapes here and there (which is to be expected) but most if not all are located on the back of the bass, leaving the front looking lovely! Any other marks you see like the lacquer cracks on the back of the neck are purely cosmetic the whole bass is structurally sound! The electronics work great and the wiring looks like its never even been seen let alone touch or messed with! its super clean and tidy inside the cavity! I will supply a brand new Access hard case to the buyer (the case that was supplied by sadowsky when i bought my NYC) which is beautiful and has never been used as i always use gig bags my mates lookin for [size=3][s]£495[/s][/size] [color="#FF00FF"][size=6]now only £395[/size][/color] (i think he has his eye on something) cheers chris 07974 317 284 Edited February 27, 2010 by CHRISDABASS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ialma Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 hello, the photos are out of focus, difficult to see il the crack on the back of the neck is a lacquer finish or a crack in the wood and the extent of the rashes on the back. Is it the original controls cover plate ? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mokl Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 I think that is stunning, what a cracking looking bass. Unfortunately I can't afford it, but someone will surely jump on this?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machines Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I had one one of these that I picked up for £250 and ended up doing a straight swap for a very good Stingray. They are utterly awesome basses, there are some amazing sounds to come out of them - Ibanez really should reissue them. I think £495 is really not an unreasonable price.

warwickhunt Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 As a young aspiring bassist I always lusted after one of these and even remember going into Newcastle and collecting all of the latest catalogues (inc the one pictured) to sit a drool over at my leisure/pleasure... and no that isn't a euphemism for anything else! Unfortunately these days the weight would likely cripple me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee650 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I used to have an identical one to this, absoutely fantastic basses, they sound great but are a bit solid in the weight dept ( all that lovely wood) i very foolishly overdid the boozing one month as a student so had to sell it to pay my rent, the swine in a shop gave me £125 and made out he was doing me a favour if only id known!! mind you my other bass at the time was my jv squire which i still have. Anyway great price and highly recommended- all th best - lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
