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 (proluthiertools.com/) for installing my Dunlop Flush Mounts + building my finger ramp!
Check out full specs for the Boden Bass Standard 5 here: strandbergguitars.com/product/boden-bass-standard-5-charcoal/
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).

Just some bass and drums! This was from a long time ago - I think I was using the Masterbuilt Warwick Thumb BO 5??

I'm starting a new playlist comprising the random tracks that I've built up in my hard drive! No videos or anything fancy like that, just some tunes to share with anybody looking for some new-to-them music! Here's one called "Chaotic Burden". I was mainly chasing a crunchy bass tone here that cuts through the mix - less so focused on the technical aspects. Thanks for listening!

How I Set My NG-2 For Drop Tunings

Here's a quick little demo explaining & showing how I choose my string gauges & EQ for F#-standard on a Dingwall NG-2. Obviously, everyone's playing style and tone preferences are different, so these are just my personal takes! The first half is a full demo mix with distorted Parallax X bass, and the second half is the same track, but with only isolated clean bass & drums. I'm using Payson fann...

I snagged a used Warwick Rockbass Alien 5 Deluxe Thinline in kind of a beat-up state from Guitar Center earlier this year, and it's been a neat practice tool to have around! There's a few tone samples here, but I wanted to explain why this acoustic bass has been useful, overcoming some of my prior misconceptions about this class of instruments. #warwickbass

Let's drop it down a bit and get groovy in G-standard with the Spector Dimension NS 5! A simple trap beat and simple guitar groove gives you plenty of room to play around on bass. #spectorbass #neuraldsp #emg

After parting ways with my old Harvest Orange Stingray Special 5H, I snagged a super cool 2024 "Kiwi Green" version. Let's pull it out of the box and see how it looks! (Note - there's very little playing here - only a short pickup demo at the end. I've already got some Stingray sounds at the following demo! th-cam.com/video/sRYvcJ3GNtg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=eZrAJ0gyXYxtvfTL) #stingray #ernieballmusicman

Let's slap a little bit on the Spector Euro5 LT - PJ config! I'm digging the crispy, yet thick, tone you can get out of this beast when you really dig in. I'm using a split compression-distortion chain on a Quad Cortex, with D'Addario NYXL 125-45 strings. It's a pretty simple rig! #metalbass #spectorbass #daddario

Ripping out the G-standard Spector NS Dimension 5 for some quick drop-tuned madness! I'm just doing some simple multi-band distortion and compression with a cab sim applied! This is my highly-mod'ed Dimension with EMG 45P and 45TW pickups. I'm using the single coil mode on the bridge pickup. It's also got a Darkglass Tone capsule. #spectorbass #neuraldsp #emg

I'm really digging the bell-like quality on the Spector Euro LT when you do some "fretboard slapping" - not quite tapping, but not quite slapping either! This is a Chuck Levin's Exclusive 2023 Spector Euro LT 5, with EMG PJs and a Spector TonePump preamp. I'm playing through a simple rig on my quad cortex with light EQ and a cab sim, plus some light post recording compression. I'm using D'Addar...

Here's a fun project I've had in the works for a while! I've had to wait a few weeks to get all the appropriate parts and send it off to the shop, but it's finally here - the Spector "Almost High Performance" Dimension 5! I took an original Spector Dimension 5, but made it closer to the Dimension HP series by adding EMG 45TW and 45P pickups, plus a Darkglass Tone Capsule. I also filed the nut f...

Breaking out the Warwick Pro Series Streamer Stage I, and tuning it up a half step to C! It was fun to play around with punchiness of a higher tuning for a little bit. I'm playing D'Addario NYXL bass strings through multi-band compression and distortion on a Quad Cortex, with a cab sim. #warwickbass #daddario #metalbass

Let's get a little crispy with some multi-band distortion on the Spector Euro LT "Chuck-sclusive" limited edition! I'm really loving the thick low-end, yet crisp sizzle on the top, that you get from this bass with some distortion added to it. I'm playing D'Addario NYXL bass strings through a Quad Cortex for multi-band distortion and compression, plus a cab sim. #spectorbass #daddario #metalbass

Instead of doing another "versus" between a Warwick Streamer and a Spector Euro, as if it was a competition, why not celebrate the unique qualities of both basses and demo them together?? Here's a Warwick Pro Series Streamer Stage I and a Spector Euro 5LT "Chuck-sclusive" model (from Chuck Levin's Music Center in Maryland). I'll play some sound samples and give my opinions on what I like about ...
