It’s hard to overstate the beauty and tone of this Muckelroy HMC. Brady accomplished this by combining several types of wood. This bass has a 5 piece set neck constructed of wenge with maple accents, an Ecuadorian rosewood center, and an ebony finger board.
The center portion of the body is alder topped with wenge / ebony, maple accent veneers in between, and bloodwood stringers with maple accent veneers on either side. The wings of the body are Flame Spanish cedar topped with Cocobolo and with maple accent veneer in between.
The small detail on this bass is amazing – for example the truss rod cover is made of the same woods as the neck – wenge, maple accents, and Ecuadorian rosewood – making it virtually invisible. And the Cocobolo battery cover is held in place with magnets which make it easy and quick to replace batteries.
Like all Muckelroy basses the tone is full, it has great sustain, and there are no dead notes throughout the entire range. I think it sounds similar to one of my friend’s high-end Warwick.
