This is the MC 980 8 String Ibanez.....See these often??? Mahogany core, walnut facings....Aria Pro II SB 1000 (I think) pickups.....Lots of shimmery goodness....Quite an adventure!!!
The armbands can be found at the website of a dear friend of mine named Dave Fowler...

Ooooo baby! I LOVE old Ibanez stuff! I have come very close to buying the 4 string version, as well as a RB860

For 8 string players I always think of Eddie Jackson of Queensryche, and whenever I ick up an 8 I start off with Jeremy by Pearl Jam 🤣

HEY! That's essentially my bass! I just finished playing her. I prefer playing with my fingers, but the important thing is having an 8 string. LOL Someone put the electronics from a Studio 8 into mine at some point, but it just gives me more options. It's a terrific bass!

This was my first bass, $99 in 1985. Didn't realize it needed a 9V battery at first. The weight of it kinda screwed up my neck, I've been sensitive to pinched nerves ever since. My next bass was this thing's polar opposite weight wise, a Fender MusicMaster. The Ibanez sounded so great, the twang of the notes in octaves.

it is NOT a lightweight that is for sure! Glad you found something that worked for you!

The earlier 8-stringers I can think of are Chris Squire (Going For The One & Awaken), John Entwistle (Trick Of The Light & Success Story), and John Paul Jones (Achilles’ Last Stand). And Tom Petersson, of course!

Vintage Ibanez is awesome! Modern Ibanez is great, but a made in Japan, premium spec (Gotoh, Leo Quan/Badass or MiJ Ibanez hardware, DiMarzio-pickups, prettier wood, etc.) Vintage series is way overdue

Finally got the DP-12 by Schecter and soon after got their Riot 8-string... I wish I hadn't waited so long to get a multi-course bass, they have a full sound and great for chords. Would have helped if any guitar store would carry them so bassists can try them out, they're great for metal and prog. Just watch out for the neck dive 😓

Are these hard to play? Always wondered. Great video!

Thanks for the kind words! Like any other multistring bass, it is ALL in the setup....spacing is a little tight for me on fingerstyle but it eats the picks!
