Sandberg TT vs. Yamaha BBP34 (Video)

Hello! I made this short comparison, and of course a poll for anyone who is interested:

I like them both really ,but for the type of music you was playing the Sandberg has the edge for me, and nice playing

Yamaha for me

Today, it’s the Yamaha for me. Tomorrow could be different though. They both sound great. Enjoy.

Your videos are always great and I always enjoy them! I must admit that, even though I am a Yamaha fan, in this video, the Sandberg sounded a little bit better for me. But probably in a mix, the Yamaha would win (I have a Fender jazz bass that I love but, when it comes to play with other people, my Yamaha is a better choice). 

I'd also pick the Yamaha because I really really want a BBP34 in that colour

I preferred the warmer more depth tones of the Yamaha

Nice, like them both.  Oddly I reckon the less bottom heavy Sandberg would work better in my band setting as the mids/up over would cut through but in isolation and take the Yamaha.

I like both - for the finger style I liked the Sandberg better, but the Yamaha for the slap.

 

Can't got wrong with either then! I play more fingerstyle than slap so for that reason the TT4 edges it for me.

When you get bored.... stick some Ernie Ball Group iv Flats on that TT4 - match made in heaven!

Great videos although I think you'd make a broomstick sing. I'd love to see you with one of either the Stingray or the BBP34 or the Sandberg TT pitched against a budget instrument; pick a Sire, a Squier or a Cort. It would stop me thinking that if buy the TT or the BBP then it would magically make me a better musician. 

 

Thanks for these. Always a great watch.

I have tried the ”cheaper” versions of these and the difference in sound is minimal. Slightly more of a difference in feeling but still not much of a difference. I’m probably not keeping both of these btw which is why I wanted to test them.
