3:20 direct comparison

This video was created to complete the story of the sound of two exceptional basses, which is a very interesting and long-open topic in the bass community. Since many were interested in comparing the sound of these two basses, I am finally in a position to make a video the way I think it would help me in my choice.
For this occasion, I only used the humbucker in active mode on Sandberg, to make the comparison as realistic as possible. Also, I played Sandberg in two different ways. The first is with a flat EQ's and the second with an EQ set to mimic StingRay as much as possible (let me remind you that it is a Darkglass Tone Capsule with one bass and two mid EQ / 70Hz, 500Hz and 2.8kHz). Both basses have DR 40-100 new strings (3 days older on a StingRay).
First part of the video is a theme from RHCP song Walkabout, played on all three different combination. The second part of the video is direct comparison of shorter parts of the songs: first StingRay-Sandberg flat and then StingRay-Sandberg with EQ.

In one of my next videos I will try to cover a comparison between Sandberg in passive mode with two singles and a Fender Jazz.
