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 Seymour Duncan Original Parallel Axis (PATB-1)
“The high end sings with an edgy sweetness that has bite without being shrill.”
“The upper mids and the high end are more about clarity, so notes are more precise and less nasal on the high end.”
