Sounds great! What strings are you using?

FC Bass · « **Reply #20 on:** July 30, 2015, 04:50:40 AM »

Thanx!

I'm not sure, but they're old strings.

Either the strings that were on it when I got it (no idea what brand) or an old R.Cocco set that I put on later...

First time through the Wall of deaf :-)
Also tried the -converted to mono- 1/4 output with my wireless (Line 6 Relay G90) Works great! :-)

Sound is extremely impressive!

If Mica is reading: Only one problem with the hooded sweater.... I will need at least one of these each year :-)

Cooll pic Flip hope you enjoyed the gig how did the bass fit with your band's music compared to your ?lan 5?

The activator equipped Alembics have more mid presence, that makes them more easy to cut through the massive mid scooped guitar sounds.

The lows and highs on the Series I have more definition, especially the lows are extremely impressive. (without becoming too overwhelming)
The highs are so aggressive, I turned down the filters more than 50% during the gig, about halfway the set I flicked the Q switch of the bridge pickup to the middle position.
So a little more experience and experimenting is needed to make it blend in better in relation to the others, I have no doubt I will succeed. :-)

The Elan 5 comes closest, especially noticeable in the highs (though they are not as ferocious as the Series I)

I'm beginning to think that the earthquakes over here are not caused by gas winning, must be you guys hitting the low B on your Series basses! :-)
We'll see if there's an increase when Adriaan gets his Series bass. :-)

Guess loudness makes a difference there, Flip. Nothing on the news after Jimmy Johnson's gig n Zoetermeer the other week, and he was noodling on the B string a lot.

:-) valid point there...

I bought this bass in Zoetermeer :-)
