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 Bare Knuckle Rebel Yell
“It’s dynamic response at stage volume with the ability to go from glassy clean to full saturation without collapsing into mush.”
“Where a lot of pickups in this range get compressed and narrow, this one stays open and articulate.”
