In a world with ultra modern and efficient amplification and cabs, it makes sense to leave mudbuckers as they are! Let the rest of the rig take the strain.

Have you used one?

Easier said than done.  Even with a 10 band graphic EQ out front.  It's not about power (bass) power handling; it's about the resonance of the pickup being in that range, so it swamps out all the mids and highs.  The only antidote is the built in choke (which could have been more useful if they custom designed/ordered a new part instead of just repurposing 1/2 of the dual inductor part from the Lucille model's Varitone).
