Bronco bass

Hey... man I really want a Musicmaster bass... but money talks, and I ain't got a whole lot of that... has anyone played the Squier Bronco bass? Its the best "copy" of the musicmaster bass that I've found, and even though it comes in a discouragingly limited amount of finishes... I can change that. So what do you guys think about it?

 

audiotom--- you should be an sx salesman I've already got my SX... the 75 Jazz copy... and I'm in love with it. Quite possibly my favorite buy of the year, OVER my stingray 5. Sayin alot there. The reason I'm lookin into a shortscale bass is kind of twofold... one, I have 4 longscale basses, and I'm feelin the need to buy something different, so I thought "Hey, either Fretless or Shortscale, what the heck might as well treat myself to a new one" and fretless doesn't really suit the sound of my band (Kind of rock/avril lavigne meets Lenny Kravitz) so I want to get a shortscale. Not only are Broncos short, but I could have it within a week if I wanted one. Because they're so friggin cheap. Not to mention extremely mod-able. Second reason, is that our lead guitarist is a chick (the BEST guitarist I have ever met, man or woman!) And we switch roles for a set... makes it easier for her to have a shortscale bass than to lug around an 11 pound jazz bass for a whole set. Not to mention, she likes the Broncos. So, there's my reasoning... I have a pretty good idea that Squiers suck (I owned a Squier P-bass and it lasted maybe, 5 months of not even gigging it) but that's why people modify instruments. Still, what do you guys think of The Broncos? Sucky? Not worth it? Or just a starter instrument?
