Anybody know what Bartolini neck pickup would be a direct replacement for the Brutes, which model will retain that really nice modern tone that the brutes have? I need to order one ASAP. Thanks in advance.

what pre would you recommend for the DL5 CBC and 59J short neck for the MJX-5?
I think it was determined that they put on whatever strings they have there at the factory. The sound is more the bass than the strings, so put some DR's on there and prepare to rock!
Well, I really like the feel of them, haven't played DR's in a while although I ordered some neons after seeing a friend put some on his 6 string.

Pretty much any of the Bart NTMBs. Since the Brute has a single 9V compartment, probably the 918 would be your best bet.

I wonder how much would have to go into a production run of any style of brute with a fretless fingerboard???? Sincle the first run of SC's have rosewood boards it would seem feasible in my mind to make a few. Or am I just dreaming.

Hey guys, I just asked the man himself and he said that in the future there may be Fretless Brute SCs. He is dealing with current production inventory and specifications but this is a real possibility. I am having a KXB-5 made so I'm not in the market for the Brute SC, but I would purchase a Brute SC-5 Fretless.

Hi All,
I bought a Brute MJX5 2nd hand a couple of months ago and noticed that the E string tuning key has collapsed on itself due to it being roughly handled when sent to NZ via USPS - any idea where I could get a replacement?? as it's a pain to restring.
Thanks!

Played my Brute MJX-5 at band rehearsal last night. It was kicking. I will be playing a very prestigious venue/award ceremony in May for the who's who of Wilmington DE. I will be playing the Brute and spreading the word about Brutes and the entire Brubaker line. In my part of the country a lot of cats are STUCK on the typical standards like Ken Smith, MTD, Pavel, MM etc. I'm playing on something new and refreshing and will spread the gospel so to speak. Brubaker owners unite!!!!!!
Hey Brute people!
I've been intrigued with the Brutes ever since they came out, but I've never been able to find one to play, much less purchase. Where do you all buy your Brutes from? Like, I can't even find them on the internet unless they're used.... Thanks for helping me out!
On another note, I played a few USA Brubakers for the first time two weeks ago, I soooo want one of those things!
