What players and reviewers say
On the Bare Knuckle Mule
“They have VERY tight and incredible overall clarity with very sweet upper high spectrum sounds.”
“I find the Gibson has less tight lows and more upper mid focus vs bareknuckle mules are balanced with tight lows and more output overall.”
On the DiMarzio PAF 59
“A full sounding PAF style humbucker with an articulate treble attack, full bottom end, and smooth midrange… in double cream.”
