It's a real shame that even on bass forums where most people are polite, helpful and civil that we also have people who are keen on being abusive I refer of course to Bass Fart..or was is Bass Farter..no hang on ...naaa it's gone now. Ferret maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexclaber Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 If you're used to Alembic electronics then the sound of the Q-Tuners won't surprise you. It's the extended and uncoloured sound that can be achieved through raising the resonant frequency above the working range of the instrument. Alembic do it with low impedance pickups and active electronics. Q-Tuners do it with a very cunning high impedance and high output passive pickup - I have no idea how this is possible but the sound is just so deep, open, uncompressed and responsive to your playing.

Alex[/quote] Thanks for that..I love the electronics on my alembic. I've got my eye on a bass with some q tuners on it...hence all the questions. I have a better idea of what to expect now...so thanks again. Edited September 26, 2008 by alembic1989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
