I understand there is only one mud, but that's my side of the spectrum, I mean. I avoid anything that even approaches the possibility of clank, and like only very little bite or aggressive forwardness. LoZ pups, the most similar pup to the LPSig (identical, to the 6 banger version anyway, which I assure you is very much like the bass version, if we're talking my dream 'prototype spec'), have this in common with mud (sure, underwound tap in bridge position gets somewhat clanky, but you know I don't give a damn about bridge position... on a bass anyway. ... I actually like the ability to have that sound mind you, despite never ever thinking I'd use it ) without being muddy at all and I prefer the 60s EB0/3s to the 70s ones with maple necks (they are more assertive.... not that I would call them such, but by comparison). Mud has a few key characteristics, with bassy-as-f&%! being just the most dickslap-in-the-faceiest of them.
Bite is for guitars; quit tryin to be Blackmore on bass
or who am I to talk, half the time I play bass like a Keif riff... and half of that probably comes out more like Duffy,
