I have been testing the Tech 21 Q strip on an active & passive bass and I am delighted with the very high quality sound & simple set up. I have used the Sansamp bass driver & RBI also digital EQ...which are great but the Q strip is less aggressive and provides a wide blended/overlapping smooth sound that responds to playing levels/styles (pick & finger) I particularly like the 2 Mid controls...easy to find sweet spots...will gig this weekend It is a analog mixer channel stri
