The MC940 is a fret-less Musician series solid body electric bass model introduced by Ibanez for 1980. It was produced in Japan.
The MC940 features neck-through-body construction on mahogany with bookmatched ash top attached to a maple and walnut neck with a fret-less ebony fingerboard with small offset white 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.
