Details & History
I have owned both these basses from new.
They have been played to bits (not literally!) and are two great
examples of the Ibanez artistry. Not a lot to say which hasn't already
been said in the bass forums except that, over the years, the real
"sound" of the instruments, most especially the fretless, have genuinely
mellowed and matured.
I got the Rick copy in '75 (£165-00); it
doesn't have a serial number. It's unchanged except for a top quality
re-fret & new top nut. I've removed the pickup cover, thumb rest &
dampening bar fingerbolts to accommodate my playing style.
The Musician is model number
MC940, purchased in '83 (£380-00);
serial number F824667. Totally unaltered, right down to the battery
compartment screw! A beautiful instrument only lacking in one area - the
controls/electronic circuits compartment shielding is inadequate.
