Pair of 1979 Ibanez Basses - Musician & Studio

[churchplayer]

I'm cleaning out the music room. I've been accumulating great instruments for a while and my wife is afraid the folks from "Hoarders" are gonna show up, so it's time to sell what isn't getting used. Buyer pays actual shipping. Not really interested in trades, but perhaps a Marcus Miller Jazz?

Email to jake@churchplayer.com is much preferred to PM and will receive more prompt reply.

1979 Ibanez Musician MC900NT. I've seen plenty of the walnut Musicians, but not to many of these. This was their top of the line bass back in the day. Controls are Master Volume, Master Tone, 3-way pickup selector, 3 band EQ section and a pre-amp switch. Extremely flexible tones and plays great. Definitely not a lightweight, but none of these were as the Ibanez philosophy at the time was "weight = tone" and they were sticking brass inserts in everything. EX+ condition with only real issue being a finish-only crack in the poly finish around the output jack extending to the preamp mini-toggle. Nothing in the wood, just an overzealous tech tightening down on the output jack. $800 with OHSC also in EX condition.

1979 Ibanez Studio ST824WN. Very versatile bass in their Studio line. Les Paul style controls (vol & tone for each pickup and a 3-way selector) w/ tr-tone switches for each pickup (dual coils in series or parallel, or single coil). A lot of bass for the money. Like the Musician it's not light, but I've gigged it for a couple hours with a 3" strap and not been bothered. EX+++ condition with OHSC also EX++. $400.
