The MC924 is a Musician series solid body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez for 1980. It was produced in Japan by FujiGen.
The MC924 features neck-through-body construction on mahogany with bookmatched ash top attached to a maple and walnut neck with a 24-fret ebony fingerboard with abalone dot position markers and a darkened ash headstock. Components include an Accu-Cast B gold plated fixed bridge with brass, cylindrical saddles and 19mm string spacing, and a pair of Super 4 pickup's single-coil transducers controlled by a highly developed correction system with two parallel tracks: passive and active, a plastic nut, Velve Tune B tuning machines and chrome hardware.
For 1982 the body was changed to solid Ash and the pickup configuration to "P/J"with Super (J5/P5) pickups. For 1983 the bridge was changed to an Accu-Cast B II and the control knobs to Sure grip II.
For 1985 the pickups was changed to low-impedance active Lo-B soapbars supported by the built-in preamps, the nut was changed to black plastic and the control knobs to knurled metal dome.
The MC940 is a similar fret-less model. The MC924L is a similar left-handed model.
