itsat34 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Yup! Crispens up the sound...and reassuringly expensive! 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidder652003 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 seriously?.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunion Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 It was designed originally for old passive alembics so they don’t need to be modified to active but I’m reliably told they work well with any bass. Are they expensive? Maybe, but look at the cost of a Hazlab preamp for a Spector or better still imagine if Wal put a preamp in a cable, I couldn’t see them being far off that price and I’m sure people would snap them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikNik Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 I'd be worried about damage. It seems to have a dent in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzyvee Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) Those cables are for use with passive instruments so no use on alembics which are all active unless modded post build. A link to alembic's info on it. https://alembic.stores.yahoo.net/activecable.html Edited March 10, 2022 by jazzyvee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikNik Posted March 10, 2022 Author Share Posted March 10, 2022 I'd have the instinctive notion to hack into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowla Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 So, a £20 cable with a £xxx battery-powered preamp in a wooden block included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
