The Muckelroy Bass Club Part 1 (It's high time!)

[Bryan Threlkeld]

Wow, Bryan. That one is a BEAUTY. I might have to snag a short scale muck too…although my hands are full with the 4 string right now thanks to you!

I actually tracked down the “last sold” spot of the bass. And the seller (John Fox Basses) said it went to a guy named Tony. John was nice enough to email Tony and pass along my contact info, but I haven’t heard from him. So I assume he’s happy with the bass and not interested in selling it.

Glad you’re enjoying the Muck 4. That’s one of those basses I will definitely miss! But alas, I made the hard decision to focus on short scales only.

I'm selling my mint condition 2022 Muckelroy Pro Player. Only selling because I've acquired 3 Ken Smith basses since January of this year and really need to thin my herd to recoup some costs. This bass sounds and plays like a dream. Super light, very low action with no buzz and the neck is second to none. Plays like absolute butter. Anyone who knows anything about Brady's builds knows the quality is top notch. I've also included 3 YouTube links so you can hear this beauty for yourself. I recorded into a Bergantino Super Pre directly into a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 using Studio One 4. I used an app called Moises to strip all the original bass tracks from the songs so what you're hearing is 100% the Muckelroy. Asking $3,200.







Here's the specs:

33” scale

Maple neck

18mm string spacing (adjustable)

Just sold my HMC5 on Reverb. The last of my Mucks. I'm down to two basses (not counting uprights), which is kind of where I need to be... But it's definitely the end of an era.

Hold your children close, friends!

Just sold my upgraded proplayer 5. Will never sell my Renegade sisters...6 string fretless and 5 string fretted.

The proplayer is a beauty though...the new owner is tickled to have her.

Almost a year after I posted “who owns this bass?”, the exact bass is heading my way! 33 inch 16.5mm with a decidedly Smith vibe.

Yes - it was cool to run into you there! I’m still mostly playing on S Martyns and Mucks.

Beauty! Tight spacing and Kent Armstrong PUP’s. Muck perfection !

 

[Ben Rose]

@Bryan Threlkeld They’re Delanos, but I may switch to Armstrongs. First thing is to switch the flats back to rounds. I have to say the bass already feels like home. The scale length, string-spacing, and body shape are exactly right for me.

I went back and forth between Delanos and Armstrongs on my Mucks. Both are very nice, but I lean slightly toward the Armstrong's sound. And 33", 16.5mm, on the HMC model feels very comfy to me, as well. Enjoy this beauty!

 

[Ben Rose]

My hemlock Muck has the Armstrongs. I like them too. Going to have fun playing these two basses back to back.

 

[Ben Rose]

Cool Smuckelroy.

With a name like Smuckelroy, it has to be good.

And for those of you youngins who don't know what we're talking about.

[Mikeyfretbuzz]

Hey all, anyone have a 6 string fretted or fretless Muck OR a 5 string fretless Muck 34” that’s interested in a trade or trade +/- cash?

Strong preference for a 34” scale all around but may consider a 33” but only if it’s a 6 string. DM me if you got something

 

[Mikeyfretbuzz]

Also, I have a 34” renegade 5 fretless for sale/trade and will be posting a
33” Proplayer 5 for sale/trade soon

Hello, anyone in the Chicago area? Nice Muck listed but the seller only want a local deal. I'd love to get that one, if a TB member want to help...(at a fee of course..)

Would love to get my first Muck!
