Strandberg Boden Bass Standard 4 - Charcoal

The Strandberg Boden Bass Standard 4 in Charcoal is a bold reimagining of the modern bass guitar, bringing Ola Strandberg’s revolutionary design philosophy into the low end of the sonic spectrum. Known for reshaping the way guitarists experience comfort, ergonomics, and tonal clarity, Ola has extended that same visionary approach to the bass, creating an instrument that is lightweight, elegant, and immensely powerful. This bass is not simply a tool but an instrument crafted to inspire new ideas, new grooves, and new directions in music.

Its solid basswood body, dressed in a striking flame maple veneer and finished in sleek Charcoal, offers a tonal foundation that is resonant and balanced, while remaining visually refined. The roasted maple neck, reinforced with walnut and carbon fiber, ensures rock-solid stability, while the roasted maple fingerboard adds both brightness and smooth playability. With its 33"–34.5" multi-scale fan fret design, this bass achieves even tension and intonation across the entire range, lending definition to the low notes while preserving clarity and agility in the highs.

Green Luminlay inlays and side dots illuminate the fretboard, offering confident navigation on darkened stages. Twenty-four stainless steel frets and a dual-action steel truss rod make this instrument as durable as it is precise, all while weighing in at just 5 pounds 13 ounces, a testament to Strandberg’s ergonomic ingenuity. The patented EndurNeck profile, a hallmark of the Boden family, eases hand movement and reduces fatigue, allowing players to focus fully on their sound and feel.

At the heart of the Boden Bass Standard 4 lies the Fishman Fluence pickup system. A pair of Fluence Bass pickups, in bridge and neck positions, are brought to life by a powerful onboard preamp. With master volume (push/pull coil-split), pickup balance, bass/treble stack, and a three-way voice selector, the tonal possibilities are vast, from deep and growling lows to articulate and expressive highs. Whether seeking vintage warmth or cutting-edge modern punch, this system delivers with consistency and clarity.

Anchored by the .strandberg* EGS Rev2 4-string bass bridge and individual string locks, tuning stability and resonance are absolute. Black hardware and an aluminum knurled control knob add a touch of sleek utility, while the overall design keeps functionality at the forefront. A .strandberg* Standard Bass Gig-Bag completes the package, offering protection and portability for an instrument crafted to move with the player.

The Strandberg Boden Bass Standard 4 – Charcoal is a masterclass in modern bass design. It carries forward Ola Strandberg’s relentless pursuit of innovation, offering bassists an instrument that is light, ergonomic, and uncompromising in tonal range. It is a bass built not only to keep up with the demands of contemporary music but to lead it into the future.
