Anyone ... ?

I think i remeber reading somewhere it's because of the Gov't Mules band... Warren Haydes stuff...

I always thought it was "The Mule" by Deep Purple. But naming it after ol' Warren would make more sense.

I thought it too when I first read it, but ain't Deep Purple "The Mule" a vast drum solo?

It's either the Warren Hayes link, or because they're a work horse/do everything pickup????

Tim should do a thread on why all the pickups are called what they are

Not like he's busy or anything, haha!

There have been topics explaining the names of the pickups.

Gov't Mule.

Dont let that put you off though, as I know you're into metal. Mules will do metal fine so long as you have a decent amp, maybe a booster (depending how tight you like your tone) and dont pick like a pussy :P
