Strandberg Boden Bass Standard 4 - Black Metallic #C2517118

The Strandberg Boden Bass Standard 4 in Black Metallic Satin combines innovative ergonomic design, modern bass technology, and exceptional versatility in a lightweight instrument built for discerning musicians. Designed for right-handed players, this four-string bass features the distinctive Boden body shape with a solid basswood body and a sleek black metallic satin acrylic finish. Weighing just 5 lbs. 15 oz., it offers remarkable comfort and balance for extended rehearsals, studio sessions, and live performances. Its streamlined silhouette, sculpted contours, and black anodized hardware create a refined contemporary aesthetic, while the solid-body construction delivers a dependable foundation for a powerful, articulate bass response. Every element reflects Strandberg’s commitment to combining practical functionality with forward-thinking instrument design.

The bolt-on neck is crafted from roasted maple and reinforced with walnut and carbon fiber for enhanced stability, durability, and consistent performance. Its signature EndurNeck profile is designed to encourage a natural hand position, supporting comfort and precision across the fretboard. The roasted maple fingerboard features a 20-inch radius and 24 stainless steel frets, including a DHP 28HFS stainless steel zero fret and DHP 28HS stainless steel main frets. The multiscale configuration spans 33 to 34.5 inches, balancing string tension and playing comfort while supporting definition in the lower register and responsiveness across the entire fretboard. A neutral seventh fret, 38 mm nut width, double-expanding steel truss rod, and natural satin acrylic neck finish complete the carefully engineered playing surface. Original green Luminlay inlays and side dots with black piping enhance visibility in low-light environments, adding a distinctive visual detail to the instrument’s modern character.

At the core of its sound is a pair of Fishman Fluence Bass 4 active humbuckers, featuring dedicated bridge and neck pickups in black. These pickups work with the onboard Fishman Fluence two-band, three-knob preamp to deliver a versatile tonal palette suited to contemporary rock, progressive metal, funk, fusion, and expressive fingerstyle playing. The intuitive control layout includes a master volume with push-pull coil-split functionality, a pickup balance control, a stacked bass and treble control, and a three-way voice selector. This arrangement allows players to shape their sound with precision, moving from deep, rounded fundamentals to articulate, punchy mids and crisp, cutting highs. The coil-split feature further expands the instrument’s tonal flexibility, while the selectable voices provide additional ways to tailor its response to different playing techniques and musical settings. Completing the design is the EGS Rev2 four-string bass bridge with individual EGS Rev2 string locks, paired with black anodized hardware and knurled black aluminum control knobs for a cohesive appearance and dependable performance.

Measuring 970 mm, or 38.19 inches, in overall length, the Boden Bass Standard 4 features a body width of 340 mm, or 13.39 inches, and a body thickness of 42.5 mm, or 1.67 inches. The neck measures 22.16 mm, or 0.87 inches, thick at the first fret and 23.68 mm, or 0.93 inches, at the fifteenth fret, providing a considered profile for comfortable movement across its 24 frets. It comes equipped with D’Addario NYXL 45-100 super long scale strings and is factory tuned to standard EADG. Included accessories comprise a bass tool kit and a .strandberg* standard gig bag, providing practical essentials for maintenance and transportation. Combining an ergonomic multiscale neck, lightweight construction, advanced Fishman Fluence electronics, and a distinctive satin black finish, the Strandberg Boden Bass Standard 4 is a thoughtfully engineered instrument for bassists seeking expressive tonal control, effortless playability, and a modern design that keeps pace with their musical ambitions.
