Compact & Comfortable: Strandberg Boden Bass Standard Demo & Review

I recently snagged this neat little ‪@StrandbergguitarsOfficial‬ Boden Bass Standard 5 in Charcoal from ‪@ishguitars‬. Having had some leg issues before from extended periods of playing sitting down with heavy basses, a lightweight bass like this was promising! It has so many cool, ergonomic features not present in any other basses. Give it a listen, and let me know you think and if you have any questions about the instrument!

Big shout out to TJ Thompson at TJ Thompson Guitars (https://proluthiertools.com/) for installing my Dunlop Flush Mounts + building my finger ramp!

I'm using D'Addario NYXL Super Long Bass strings, with a Tapered B and E. I'm also playing through a simple rig on my Quad Cortex (very light compression, high-pass filter, and cab sim).
