I just put un-potted, 4 conductor Mules in a PRS CE. What a difference. I am really pleased with this combination. The Mules are worth the price. I bought them before seeing this demo. I would have bought them sooner had I seen this solo.
Mezmerizing. This video is pure inspiration. Thanks Sam. By the way, BKP should use your demo as their flagship MULE pickup video on their website. (IMO)
The BE100 in the Helix is easily the best amp, I like to run it in Stereo hard panned left and right with 2 different cabs, one with Greenbacks the other with V30's just like the real thing does, sounds fantastic.
Hendrix is a hoax; a very basic player with zero music theory knowledge. This guy is excellent. Having said this, this is not a good video at all to make any determination about the pickups. If he did an AB comparison with another guitar, that might be helpful. 🙄
MAN!!! YOU ARE INREDIBLE!!! The sound is amazing ,your playing is clean, smooth ,you can hear EVERYTHING!and that picking !! its not very common to hear a review with such a good guitarist ! The 9 dislikes you have i am sure are from jealous guys :-)) Now for the pick ups, they sound amazing ! I want to change the pick ups on my 99 SG and i am thinking of those !
You are a smooth shredder!! Thank you for demoing out these pickups! I am getting the bridge version of the Abraxas for my 50's Les Paul Gold Top! Cheers!!!!!!!!
wow i was blessed when music had staled and i was tired of nothing nee then i found buckethead and now Sam Coulsen..Im blown away by what i just heard and feel priveledged and moved by such clean playing. i wonder how many people have judged him and then picks up an axe without anger delivers a pride obliterating bitch slap to their obvious condescending ego. ill probably listen to this several hundred times was so tatsteful. im gonna share.with all who will come to see. Thank You Sam thats some of the best "Head Cleaner" ive heard next to J. Garcia.
Hey Sam, this is Chris Peeler..That was some incredible soulful playing my friend..I still intend for us to do a vid together as you had suggested..I'd be honored..
Nice tone! I think I do prefer the Les Paul with the Nailbombs (or maybe the Holy Diver/Abraxas, tough call) for your signature riffs but great tone all around here..
Sam, your videos rock. Thanks for sharing them with us. I’ve noticed you have played a lot of various Bareknuckle Pickups. If you could have one pair, which set would be your favorite or “go-tos”?
Amazing have you done review of the HSS Fralin pickups bridge Pure P. A. F & single coils 54' it would be awesome there arent lots of videos of HSS fralin test out there so if you lack ideas for video here is one pre wired HSS pure paff Fralin with single coils neck and brisge 300K pots caps etc

Hi Sam, amazing playing and tones! How do compare nailbomb neck and mule neck? I currently have alnico nailbomb bridge in my strat and i love it. Do you recommend mule neck or nailbomb neck? My only concern is gain difference between neck and bridge.
Incredible playing and tone! I know it's a subjective thing, but what are your general pickup heights? You're neck and bridge tones are so well balanced... Any pointers on getting the best balance out of a set of Mules?
Sam, great playing dude!! I was looking into the Holy Diver or the Rebel Yells or possibly the Abraxas for my Custom Charvel San Dimas but i see the even the Mules sound good on high gain settings. I loved your video with the Holy Divers but I am not much of shredder, i solo and play lots of rhythm guitar in a cover band of 70's-80's-90's-2000's a bit of bit of 2010's so i need something good for the classic rock stuff to black crowes to Bon Jovi/Def Leppard to Green Day to Fall Out Boy. What do you suggest for a San Dimas dual humbucker guitar?
@Nick I have one with JB's which is not bad and the other with Suhr Doug Aldrich pickups because the JB's weren't doing it for that guitar. The JB's are ok but a bit run of the mill pickups, not as clear/present as i would like them to be which helps cut in the mix in a band setting. I was thinking of trying Seymour's '59/Custom hybrid but i think i will go with Bare Knuckle pickups, they sound better and more quality.
@@kingsammyc : Hey Sam for a Les Paul R7, what you say would be the difference between a set of Mules vs the Riff Raff in the bridge and Mule in the neck? Well its between the Mules, the Abraxas which has a hair more mids and gain and perhaps the Riff Raff pickups as well. I just want to make sure i can cover hard rock with the Mules and not feel like I am missing that extra juice i may need.
Gawd...doesn't anyone demo clean and semi clean sounds anymore? Or play chords? Or record demos without so much overdrive? I don't know whether I'm hearing the pickups or a pedal or a modeler! These are PAF style pickups and the video makes it impossible to know what the Mule pickup actually sounds like. Good playing but how about some chords? That's the beauty of Little Wing the way Hendrix did it.
You say black, I say white You say bark, I say bite You say shark, I say hey man Jaws was never my scene And I don't like Star Wars.............................................
Amazing tone, melody, phrasing and technique. This guy is the total package.

Best cover I've ever heard of the song! That includes srv, vai, and everyone else!! Incredible!!
The Mules are one of the greatest sounding pickups I've heard. Love that guitar (and your playing of course). Love to hear more on that guitar.
I wonder how do they compare with PRS dragon 2?
Son you'd make any pick-up sound good, sounds amazing continued success. Cheers!
Dude with that kind of playing you can sell a pickup to a death person... You're amazing it's a joy to hear you play !!!🤘🏼🍺
Mezmerizing. This video is pure inspiration. Thanks Sam. By the way, BKP should use your demo as their flagship MULE pickup video on their website. (IMO)
Nice demo! I have enjoyed it.
We loves it mate. Bare Knuckle Mules are insane. Probably one of the best pickups out there.
❤ Sounds fantastic Sam! Disappointed we won't be seeing you on tour this summer, thanks for the video posts, we look forward to them.
The BE100 in the Helix is easily the best amp, I like to run it in Stereo hard panned left and right with 2 different cabs, one with Greenbacks the other with V30's just like the real thing does, sounds fantastic.
kraM1t that’s a great idea! I’ll have to check that out!
I think Hendrix would be jealous of your playing. I mean it. That’s fucking inspiring!
Hendrix is a hoax; a very basic player with zero music theory knowledge. This guy is excellent.
Having said this, this is not a good video at all to make any determination about the pickups. If he did an AB comparison with another guitar, that might be helpful. 🙄
Man I never get tired of hearing you play! Jamming on a Hendrix Classic making that guitar sing.. Great pickups demo..
amazing!! wow
MAN!!! YOU ARE INREDIBLE!!! The sound is amazing ,your playing is clean, smooth ,you can hear EVERYTHING!and that picking !! its not very common to hear a review with such a good guitarist ! The 9 dislikes you have i am sure are from jealous guys :-))
Now for the pick ups, they sound amazing ! I want to change the pick ups on my 99 SG and i am thinking of those !
Great playing

You can play mate. Very soulful and nice vibrato!
Holy balls that picking... very well played and sounds fantastic

You deserve so much more attention dude. Truly inspired 🙏🏼
Such a fine guitarist.
You are a smooth shredder!! Thank you for demoing out these pickups! I am getting the bridge version of the Abraxas for my 50's Les Paul Gold Top! Cheers!!!!!!!!
Nice demo, and killer vibrato
GREAT PLAYING!!!
Absolutely beautiful playing, man. And I LOVE that strat Putting that in my mental Rolodex to build something similar.
wow i was blessed when music had staled and i was tired of nothing nee then i found buckethead and now Sam Coulsen..Im blown away by what i just heard and feel priveledged and moved by such clean playing. i wonder how many people have judged him and then picks up an axe without anger delivers a pride obliterating bitch slap to their obvious condescending ego. ill probably listen to this several hundred times

With playing like that you could sell me anything 😆

Amazin sounds ;)
Hey Sam, this is Chris Peeler..That was some incredible soulful playing my friend..I still intend for us to do a vid together as you had suggested..I'd be honored..
Sounds great, but you would make an epiphone sound great. Your playing is amazing, and your volume swells are boss! Thanks for sharing.
Mate, sorry for breaking it to you but if you can't make an epiphone sound good then the problem is yours, no the guitar's...
@@WeeFreeMan78
Epi's suck. PERIOD.
Such incredible playing! Do you give online lessons?
Nice tone! I think I do prefer the Les Paul with the Nailbombs (or maybe the Holy Diver/Abraxas, tough call) for your signature riffs but great tone all around here..
Jimmy NEVER sounded so good

Any suggests starting point for pickup height with the Mules? Excellent playing and tone!
show off LOL so good!
Burninnnnnn
Incredible playing and tone! I know it's a subjective thing, but what are your general pickup heights? You're neck and bridge tones are so well balanced... Any pointers on getting the best balance out of a set of Mules?
How would you say these compare to Dimarzio PAF Pros?
What they put in the water over there? Killer man!! Subbed, thanks Sam
Ok and you know the treble bleed caps. 001 uf with 220 resistor? Thanks
hello amazing playing !!!!
have you a treble bleed on your volume pots ??
thanks Sam
dv custompantera thanks man! Yep, it has the treble bleed mod
Potted or unpotted? 4 wire or vintage?
Loving that guitar...can you tell me what the tone wood the body, neck and fret board are made of?
Gus G the body is alder and the neck is maple 😊
so what guitar is that? what was the body wood made of? Thanks!

Nice sound. What is specs of this guitar?
What scales is he playing ?? Asking for a friend....
Hey sam please can you say me what s your treble bleed mod and if you have 500k vol pot or 250k thanks man
dv custompantera it’s a 500k pot for sure. I don’t know much about the treble bleed mod but I know it has it
Damn Sam just sayin
Jimi just fell from 2 to 3.

You say black, I say white
You say bark, I say bite
You say shark, I say hey man

And I don't like Star Wars.............................................
Amazing!
