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.

The mids have more of a growl, if you are expecting the roar of the JB.

To maintain the comparison, players that find the JB's low end too boomy will appreciate the bold yet genteel firm lows of the Éclair.
