    Hope you enjoyed the first look at the 4SBB! She should be hitting stores at the end of the month so talk to your local ukulele/music store about a preorder, the 4SB tenor sells out fast. Big love to you all, and thanks again to Flight to making my life a crazy dream. Xx

      I just happened upon the 4SB tenor a few days ago in a local music store on vacation..
      since I was actually looking for a baritone I sadly put the tenor down, its such a nice instrument!
      but I lightened up when the salesman told me there is a 4sb baritone coming out!
      now I am watching all the comparisons i can get to decide between the Aurora, the 4sb or the fireball 🙈
      i played the fireball baritone in the store, its just beautiful! i am just not sure if i can justify over 600€ for a uke😅
      edit: ok just watched to the end.. Thats it I need a 4SBB! thank you for the on point comparison, i am glad you went for no pick up for the retail version, plus I really love the tonewood choice. like you said the 4sbb comes across warmer and with more depth compared to the aurora.
      want!❤

      @2802Bene now that’s a good thing to get up to on vacation 😂 tbh all three are ukuleles that I love very much, you’d be happy with any of the three, but the black has my heart 🖤

      @@4stringboyI finally got my 4sbb today! the store said there were some quality issues in the first batch they got, so it was a little back and forth but we finally made it!
      only tested it a bit but it sure is loud for its size! deep bass and warm sound overall! It takes a little getting used to from smaller ukes and guitar, but it is a lot of fun! thanks for your input in this!

    Flight makes beautiful and functional ukuleles. This one in particular. And great sound. I own a Diana w/Soundwave. It certainly is a beauty, but so far, I wish I had bought the acoustic model. 👍🏼4SBB

    I really like that Flight made this in Baritone size. I have the tenor version. I was a little put off that they continued to use a Spruce top as you were elated when you thought the tenor had a Cedar top. I would have liked to see the Baritone in cedar. Would have seemed to me that buyers would then have an option of wood for their interest. Just my opinion. Good to see you Sammy! Be well!

      Thank you mate, and I did talk to them about this but Primoz talked to me in good detail why they prefer not to use Cedar on bigger instruments - so I order and agreed as they know best 😅

    That strummy demo tune with no name sounds lush, and Fingerstyle Fursday number 9 (the first one i ever learnt) sounds all grown up and moody. Really nice - I know my 4SB would like a big brother one day.

    The sounds between the two ukuleles, to me, are nearly the same. Although the 4SBB is beautiful, I think I like the slightly brighter sound of the Aurora a little better. I would buy that Aurora today, but I’m assuming that I could add more warmth when plugged-in.

      @@4stringboy I think it is Sam, but of course variety is the spice of life! lol! I’ve spent a lot of money trying out strings and I’ve eventually found my ideal set which is Uke logic soft tension B and E strings and Martin M630 D and G strings, have you ever tried mixtures of different makes of strings and do you stick to the same on all your ukes? it’s a very personal thing but interesting to hear other players point of view 👍 cheers Terry

    I have a Flight Fireball Tenor with a wound Low G. Do you think it would sound too similar to the 4SBB? I like what you said about playing a high G tenor than getting your low fix via your baritone. You have me thinking 🤔 ? I am just starting to shop for a baritone but maybe my low G tenor would be a lot of the same.

    • @4stringboy
      @4stringboy  Місяць тому +1

      A baritone is the next level and I don’t think a low G sounds anything like a baritone, because of the bigger body it really is a different sound - if you can get your hands or try a baritone, you’d be able to tell straight away whether it’s enough of a difference for you (for me - a very big one)

    • @bdawgindy
      @bdawgindy Місяць тому

      @@4stringboy- Thank you for the quick response. One last clarification. I have a low G tenor and if I got a baritone, I would string it as GCEA vs the standard baritone tuning. In your opinion, do you think that would make it sound more like my low G tenor? Or even with GCEA, the bigger body would still sound different?

    • @4stringboy
      @4stringboy  Місяць тому +1

      I think a baritone in DGBE is better than GCEA, and that the bigger body would still make a difference but not as much in that tuning, also as long as you’re aware you need special strings to use GCEA tuning on a baritone you’d be fine 😇

    Sammy, you have created a really beautiful BLACK BEAUTY and the review is really uniquely good, like your last ones actually always, I have now listened to the differences exactly but even with headphones I can hardly notice any difference. I always think I can hear a difference, but I'm not entirely sure about that, we probably have to experience it live. I ❤ ROSEWOOD. LOVE to you Sammy #4stringboyfans
