To bleed the front lines you would have ample amounts of fluid coming out when pressing down the pedal. If you do, then you have front brakes unless the calipers are seized. Yes it could be other things. If you don't have ample fluid at the calipers, start cracking lines loose further up until you find sufficient fluid pressure. Easiest way I can say.

Was this condition present before the master cylinder was changed? Did it get worse after the master cylinder change out?
