That's a tractor darkstar deluxe, no mud there.
Is it me or is the pu turned back on the high strings?
The original Berry Oakley Tractor had a Hagstrom Bi-Sonic, which was a single coil, so there was never any mud to begin with. Definitely not to be confused with Mel Schacher's Mudbucker Jazz Bass.
Yep, the pole pieces face the bridge. Berry had two "versions" of his Tractor, one with the pole pieces down and one with them up. The reason: he took the pickups off his Guild Starfire and mounted them on the bass so that the pole pieces would match the string spacing.
