Dear Traktor — Playing Bach?
Question from Reg:
"Hi, I was interested in trying a tap instrument primarily for playing Bach pieces with counterpoint and the like. So I think a good clean, non-twangy sound is what I'm looking for. Which model and/or options would you recommend for such a purpose?"
Traktor suggests:
"Among the Mobius Megatar basic instruments (light wood, TrueTapper series), either the Eclipse model (dual rail pickups) or the Storm model (world famous Bartolini pickups) would give you a lovely clean sound.
"The Dual Rail are custom 'flat top' pickups and produce a clear and fairly powerful sound. The Bartolini pickups are a premium pickup which manages to sound both very clear, and yet warm, and also is the quieter of the two pickups which helps to get a clear voice from the amp.
"Of course, if you like warmer sounds than either the MaxTapper or the ToneWeaver instruments, with the world-famous Bartolini pickups, will also provide a clear and yet warm sound, but the dark premium woods in the MaxTapper and ToneWeaver will give it a rounder and more jazz like sound, not quite as bright.
"Some like it bright. Some like it warm. Some like it hot.
"How do you like it?"
