i got my 78 musicmaster back on friday. i had loaned to my buddy (extended loan of course) cause i wasn't going to play it for awhile. i know it's not the greatest bass, but man is it a kick to play. it's upgraded with a Bill lawrence (250?) pup and i have flats on it. not as punchy as my ibanez, but i found it to be killer for our first set. anyways, i was too excited and had to post.
