Description

Crafted for the modern bassist, the Strandberg Boden Bass Standard 4 is a revolutionary instrument that redefines comfort and performance. With its headless design, this bass offers an incredibly lightweight experience without compromising on balance or tone. The solid Basswood body, paired with a Roasted Maple neck and fretboard, ensures a resonant and well-rounded sound, while the cutting-edge Fishman Fluence Bass pickups provide a robust signal and impeccable string-to-string balance.

Designed with ergonomics in mind, the multi-scale layout adapts to your natural hand position, allowing for a relaxed wrist throughout your playing range. The longer scale of the heavier strings enhances tonal depth, while the shorter scale of the thinner strings improves playability. Additionally, the patented EndurNeck™ profile promotes a more comfortable playing position, enabling you to play faster and longer while minimizing the risk of injury.

The Strandberg Boden Bass Standard 4 also boasts proprietary hardware, crafted with aerospace-grade aluminum and carbon fiber, ensuring that the instrument's components work harmoniously to enhance string vibrations. This meticulous attention to detail results in unparalleled tonal clarity and sustain, making this bass a must-have for any serious musician.

Owner Insights

We analyzed real musician discussions from forums and Reddit to find what players love, question, and tweak about Strandberg Boden Bass Standard 4.

Features and functionality

  • The placement of the potentiometers can interfere with slapping techniques, particularly for players who use double thumb or double pops.

    Source
  • The jack is positioned on the back in a slot, which is convenient for some but not all players, affecting usability based on playing position preferences.

    Source
  • The 3-way mini toggle on the Boden Bass offers voice selections: Voice 1 (2 kHz) for a classic tone, Voice 2 Mid Flat (7 kHz) for full-range response, and Voice 2 Mid Contour (7 kHz / 500 Hz mid-scoop) for a hi-fi tone.

    Source

Use cases and applications

  • The Strandberg Boden is noted for its modern sound, potentially requiring pickup swaps for those seeking different tonal characteristics.

    Source
  • Though praised for its rock and pop tones, the Boden Bass is not generally favored for metal or jazz contexts, unlike its competitors.

    Source

User experience

  • Some players report needing a few days to adjust to the fanned fret design, though it's less challenging than expected.

    Source
  • The neck's unique ridge design is polarizing; some players find it adds no value to their playing style, while a few miss it when switching to other basses.

    Source

Comparisons

  • Owners find the Ibanez EHB1005MS to have a tighter B string and better suitability for slapping compared to the Strandberg Boden 5.

    Source
  • Owners compare the Strandberg Boden Bass unfavorably to Ibanez EHB models, citing similar playability but a significant price difference.

    Source
  • Owners with other basses, like Spector Dimension IV, note the Boden's Fishman pickup setup is similar but lacks sonic range, prompting modification.

    Source

Value and pricing

  • Some users argue the bass shares construction similarities with significantly cheaper Indonesian-made models, questioning the high price point.

    Source

Mods and upgrades

  • Swapping to lighter gauge strings is suggested to reduce inharmonicity, especially on the low B string.

    Source
  • Relocating the strap button to the horn tip and repositioning the volume pot can improve ergonomics and usability on the Boden Bass.

    Source
  • Replacing Fishman pickups with EMG 35P4 and 35TW, along with an LHZ HAZ LABS Clone Preamp, can significantly enhance the Boden's tonal range.

    Source

Setup and maintenance

  • Factory pickup heights show the bridge pickup closer to the strings than the neck, which may affect tonal balance.

    Source
  • Some users report dead spots on the B string and the 12th fret of the G string, particularly when played close to the body.

    Source
  • Switching from stock D'Addario strings to Ernie Ball Super Slinky (.045, .065, .080, .100) can improve tone by reducing twang and enhancing playability.

    Source

Build quality

  • The potentiometers, especially the stacked one, are noted to turn scratchily, which is unexpected in a bass of this price range.
