Bass of the Week: Brubaker Brute MJX Series

Originally featured February 27, 2014

This week we check out the Brubaker Brute MJX series. A production version of luthier Kevin Brubaker’s design, the MJX hints at classic basses with a modern take.

Brubaker Brute MJX Body (Burst)

The Brute MJX series is available in 4- and 5-string versions. Each bass is built with an alder body, maple neck, and maple fretboard with 22 frets. They sport an MM/J pickup configuration with Brubaker’s 3200 series Dual Coil humbucker in the bridge position and a 3200 series single coil in the neck position. Electronics include a Brubaker 5200 Series two-band EQ with volume, blend, bass, and treble controls. It also has a coil tap switch for the MM pickup.

MJX Series basses come in Black, White, Natural, Satin Tobacco burst, and Satin Blue Burst finishes with an array of pickguards.
