Musicman20 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 [quote name='mikeswals' timestamp='1477953378' post='3165567'] I don't play guitar, but I'm really glad their guitar models finally took off and going strong. I grew up very near the factory, and back in the late 80's and 90's you never saw anyone in the wild playing a Musicman guitar, only saw a couple of pictures in magazines. [/quote] Ohh! I bet that was tempting to have a look around. Yeah I think they wanted to go after the 80s superstrat type thing, and now with the John Petrucci connection I think they have all the modern rock/metal/prog people flocking to the signtature instruments. They do have a very varied guitar lineup and some of them are extremely tempting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom1946 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 2 people have said what I usually do, that is buy a different make of bass and set it up to sound like a Precision I've stopped now and just have a Precision, but not for much longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeswals Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 Here's what my old 5SSS looked like. I wasn't fond of the regular white finish, but I just didn't like the tort colored guard on it...it would have looked overall much better with a white pearl guard, but I couldn't find one at the time. To me this bodystyle just begs for a metallic green, or blue, or red, or gold.
