The Strandberg Boden Bass Standard 4 in Blue Aura Metallic Satin combines innovative ergonomic design, modern bass technology, and striking visual appeal in a lightweight instrument engineered for exceptional comfort and versatility. Designed for right-handed players, this four-string bass features the distinctive Boden body shape and a solid basswood body finished in Blue Aura Metallic Satin acrylic, creating a vibrant, contemporary aesthetic complemented by black anodized hardware. Weighing just 6 lbs., it offers excellent portability and balance for extended rehearsals, studio recording, and live performances. Its sculpted contours and streamlined construction reflect Strandberg’s forward-thinking approach to instrument design, delivering a professional playing experience that places comfort, precision, and musical expression at the forefront.

The bolt-on neck is crafted from roasted maple and reinforced with walnut and carbon fiber for enhanced stability and structural reliability. Its signature EndurNeck profile encourages a natural hand position, helping support comfortable movement across the fretboard during demanding playing sessions. 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 across the instrument to provide a defined low end and a responsive, consistent feel throughout the register. Additional features include a 38 mm nut width, a neutral seventh fret, and a double-expanding steel truss rod for precise neck adjustment. Original green Luminlay fretboard inlays and side dots with black piping improve visibility on dimly lit stages, while the natural satin acrylic neck finish provides a smooth, comfortable playing surface.

At the heart of the Boden Bass Standard 4 is a pair of Fishman Fluence Bass 4 active humbuckers, featuring dedicated bridge and neck pickups in black for a powerful, articulate, and adaptable tonal foundation. The onboard Fishman Fluence two-band, three-knob preamp provides extensive sound-shaping capabilities through a master volume control with push-pull coil-split functionality, a pickup balance control, a stacked bass and treble control, and a three-way voice selector. This versatile configuration allows players to move from deep, rounded fundamentals to punchy midrange definition and crisp upper-frequency detail, adapting effortlessly to a wide range of musical styles. The coil-split function expands the available tonal possibilities, making the instrument suitable for expressive fingerstyle playing, aggressive pick attack, slap techniques, contemporary rock, funk, fusion, and progressive music. 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, performance-ready finish.
