Mudbuckers from one era can sound quite a bit different. Remember the TV yellow - now there is an interesting story waiting to be told about how that color came about ...
- EB-0 Junior you got me? That thing has a black pup too and it is ALL mids, no bass, you actually need to dial in -
- subfrequencies to give it fundamental. (When Bruce - Captaincolor - played it, he couldn't believe how unmuddy it sounded compared to his). In comparison, my also black pup equipped EB-0F sounds bassier, but it is still a far cry from the true mudbuckmania of my late sixties EB-0, EB-3, EB-2 and EB-1 which cushion and suffocate you with their sublows if you have the amp on a "normal setting") which with me is bass at 5 to 6 pm, mids at 12 to 1 pm and treble at 12 to 3 pm. I have a 59 banjo headstock EB-2 at the luthier right now where the black pup probably needs to be rewound, no doubt that will sound different from the others then too.
