Well I`m a bit confused, I love the sound of my two 78 Precisions, much more than the US Standard I`ve just sold, yet the MIMs sound soooo good. I`m not bothered about taking a 78 Precision out to gig with, that`s what they`re there for, but I`m really considering going down the MIM route. The scenario in my original post has happened too often for it to be coincidence - and we`re talking named bands as well, not only weekend warriors like myself. My ears obviously love the tone of the MIMs. And have to say, having had a couple of the post 2008 ones, they`re darn good players too.

Maybe you should pick up Karl's Dee Dee bass as a tester! Or one of these:
