8) Have to disagree a lttle 1bass. The Musicman is indeed a great bass. Built well, plays well, and sounds great. What he is looking for is a solid and driving Rock and Roll, hold the bottom end down bass sound. The Gibson he is looking at has the typical "big wind" pickups. Gibson solid bodies sound bigger and thicker than the typical " Fender" sihgle coil. The Musicman, due to pickup placement. is geared more towards the "Mid" type tone.That is why I mentioned the overwound Dimarzio and Schaller. Bigger, Fatter and Meaner.
We all have our ideas about tone 1bass .Coming from the REALLY LOUD Blues-Rock state of mind I am always in, I just feel the bigger wind pickups would keep the Grease in his Groove !!!! 8)
