8 string Q-tuners production! need buyers! (VERY possible! passive sized!)

[damigu]

if i had an 8, i would totally get in on this, too.

my firm opinion is that there is no better neck pickup than a q-tuner. it sounds amazing and has such incredible flexibility in the neck slot.

Do you have anything recorded so we can check out what it sounds like?

if you search the forum for "q-tuner" i have a couple short clips somewhere.
i think i did 2 or 3 quick bits on the neck pickup clean with different tone knob settings.

your review plus all the clips I heard were the main reason I was interested in getting a q-tuner for the neck. hopefully this deal works out eventually.

i dug up my posts with the clips:

bridge pickup clip both w/o and w/ distortion:

(this distortion sounds pretty good, but it was re-amped--i could never get a direct signal to sound particularly great)

Sweet - thanks!

Now all we need is someone to demo these in an 8-string with (and without) some bad-ass distortion

i'd love to load ma intrepid with a q-tuner on the neck position if the size will fix into

 

[MF_Kitten]

they will be a direct fit if we can get them into production. and for that we still need those 12 pickups ordered

we´ve got a couple orders, but not nearly enough.

ahhhaaaa...ok i get! i have to save more money know i'll let you know dude

 

[MF_Kitten]

actually, don´t let me know. let Q-tuners know. check the original post, there´s an email there. send them a mail saying you would like to be on the purchase list for the 8 string Q-tuners pickups. list how many pickups you want, and which models you want (low-z, medium-z, high-z, super high-z)

Just to put in my its gonna be really difficult to show you how they "sound" since 1: they're transparent and 2: you can rearrange the poll pieces for each individual string in several ways to make the pickup pick up completely different.

The guy who made this video just posted this and 2 others on the forum. This honestly has to be the best demonstration you could ask for to basically show off how drastically you can change the sound with just the poll pieces. And this is with youtube filtering the sound quality to shit so you can imagine how much more drastic it is in person.

 

[george galatis]

put yourself on the order list, send an email to: info@q-tuner.com

yeah you are right ok then

 

[mgcasella]

Whoa - I could definitely hear the difference regarding the height of the pole pieces! Too bad I don't have enough money to put these in my 8-string because these pups seem amazing (even via Youtube!)

We? so you're in again?

 

[MF_Kitten]

nope, but since i´m kinda arranging this with Erno, i refer to use as "we". i should say "they" though.

 

[8string]

kk, ingen problem. tror egentlig du kommer til å kjøpe uansett

 

[MF_Kitten]

har allerede sendt en 5 strengs bass q-tuner til Roter for å putte i halsposisjon på en 8 strengs

 

[MoNsTaR]

is this still happening or not, if it is, put me down for a bridge pickup

Erno replied to me today when I asked him about 8 string pickups before I ever found this thread. He didn't seem to offer any information that this was something being looked into, he simply told me many playes use BL-5's and to try those. haha.. I replied back to see if he'll shed some more light on this. I give another vote for Cepheus sized pickups.
Dimentions: 3 3/8' x 1 7/16".

Alright, I'm in. I've sent an email to set up my preorder, although I am now waiting to know what is needed in terms of prepayment/deposit.

I love the Cepheus pickups, but I've decided, given that I finally sprung for the ebony fingerboard and the dual passives, I might as well go the distance and put the Q-tuners in, while also adding some dual pots to be able to work tone and volume separately on each pick up. I'll have to think if I want to do some sort of coil-tapping as well, so I guess I'll be sitting down and figuring out what I can do without changing the drillings/routings on the face.

At the point I get the details about actually placing the preorder, I'll also ask him how far we are from getting an order done....
