Description

Unlock the legendary low-end thunder with the Mudbucker, a bass guitar pickup that's been turning heads and rattling eardrums since its inception. Moving beyond the confines of traditional humbucker designs, the Mudbucker's unique sidewinding coils deliver a deep, saturated tone that is both powerful and rich in character. This pickup's high output (around 31k) ensures an impressively thick and resonant sound, perfect for bassists yearning for that signature, almost "muddy" growl.

But fear not; this is not a one-size-fits-all pickup. Handwound and meticulously crafted, the Mudbucker offers superior clarity and string-to-string definition, making it versatile enough to cater to any player's unique style. Whether you're after a cleaner, less overdriven sound or want to experiment with different output levels, the Mudbucker can be tailored to meet your sonic desires.

Ideal for any bass routed for a Mudbucker, this pickup is perfect for intrepid bass players who love to tinker and shape their sound. Pair it with a Fender-style bass to blend the best of both worlds, or let it shine on its own for a quintessential Gibson-esque rumble. Whatever your choice, the Mudbucker is here to redefine what your bass can do.

Key Features:

  • High output with approximately 31k for a thick, fat tone
  • Unique sidewinder coil design for enhanced bass response
  • Handwound for improved clarity and definition
  • Customizable to various output levels for tailored sound
  • Compatible with both Gibson and Fender-style basses
  • Ideal for bassists seeking a distinctive, powerful tone

I’m Scott “Stonewall” Miller, owner of Stonewall Pickups. I make the Mudbucker Rich uses. It is by far his favorite bass pickup... until I design something new for him.
