Bass Player Magazine says "killing sound, and not one you find on many more traditional basses."

Bass Player Magazine review: 

"Before I plugged in the Musicvox, I knew I'd be intrigued by its sound not just because of its singular look. but because of the neck humbucker's position. Humbuckers slammed up against the end ot a neck like that are some times politelv called "mudbuckers." a not entirely derogatory term, given that many bass players love playing in the mud.


With the bridge pickup soloed, the MI-5 had a bumpy yet still thick sound.  It wasn’t much J-style as a hybrid between a soloed J pickup and a P.  It was a sweet mix, especially with some treble rolled off-cutting enough to feel midrange-y and articulate, but also blessed with healthy low-end response. 


Now on to the "mudbucker." Soloed, ...it retained a decent amount of focus and definition, and it also had some of the woody bark one expects from a neck pickup.  If you play reggae, big bass-y slow jams and the like, it’s the tone: pure fat with a gentler technique, and complex (without losing the fat) with a more aggressive plucking hand.  It’s a killing sound, and not one you find on many more traditional basses."
