The mahogany core was discontinued in '82, leaving it with a solid ash body. The body was initially made from a sandwich of mahogany and ash - a mahogany core, with ash on the front and back. The neck was 5-piece neck, constructed of three pieces of rock maple, with two strips of walnut in between them. The Musician Bass featured a 34" scale neck-through design.
These are the only two Musician models in the 1987 price list. Their body shape is redesigned and looks more like what would eventually become the SoundGear line. The MC-924 is renamed MC2924 and the MC-940 is renamed MC2940. The 1984 price list retains the 1983 models and introduces the MC-888, sometimes referred to as the "bean bass," which featured a smaller body.
The 1983-1984 catalog shows a reintroduction of the MC-824DS and an additional finish option, metallic black (MB), for the MC-924 and MC-940 models. The 1983 catalog retains only two models, the MC-924 and MC-940, but introduces a new finish option, polar white (PW). The MC-940 was a fretless version of the same. The MC-924L was a left-handed version of the MC-924. The MC-824 was the base model, the MC-924 added a three-band EQ. All four models were DS models, as the natural (NT) finish was no longer an option. The 1980 price list retains the MC-800 and MC-900, in both NT and DS finishes, but adds the MC-824, MC-924, MC-940, and MC-980 ( 8-string), all of which were DS models. The MC-800 was a single- pickup design, while the MC-900 had two pickups and a three-band EQ. List price for the MC-900 was $775.00 USD for the NT finish and $785.00 USD for the DS finish. List price for the MC-800 was $655.00 USD for the NT finish and $665.00 USD for the DS finish.
