The coming Backun Alpha bass has its neck and bell crafted from brass, while on their Q model they are from nickel-silver. What difference could that mean to tone, response, projection, or possible other sound characteristics?
Since the Alpha's body is synthetic, while the Q's is wood, a neck/bell from different materials could at least theoretically interact differently with each - but apart from that.
When anyone here gets an opportunity playing both of these basses at the same occasion, I hope you will report your personal impression about their overall tonal and other possible differences.

Maybe the parts are interchangeable between the Q and the alpha? It would allow for upgrade path down the road if the tone was indeed different/better/worse.
