Re: Tone of Backun basses vs Buffet

I think it's a little unfair to compare the tone of the Alpha and the Prestige. The Q and the Prestige are much more comparable in terms of tone, but feel very different in my opinion. I know some people say there's not much difference in tone between wood and plastic, but I don't find that to my ears.

As many here say, it comes down to personal preference in the end, but I personally found the Prestige, Tosca, Privilege and Q to be on a par in terms of tone, don't LOVE the feel of the Buffets (though they're super solid and feel obviously very high quality), like the feel of the Selmer best, and ultimately decided on a Q because it was the most even in terms of tone and intonation.

I was surprised myself - I thought I would prefer the cocobolo version but once I played them side by side I actually preferred the grenadilla.
