@michaellorenz7177 Incorrect, we do use grams. Otherwise, no, the metric system lacks practicality so we generally don't bother. The rest of the world uses the metric system because fractional math is simply too difficult for the slow-witted.
I know we use the metric system, use it every day. The fact that other forms of measurement are very often used in our culture is low hanging fruit in the joke world. Get a step ladder if you can't reach...
Wow I think I found the next bass to dream over. I recently had my right leg amputated and I had to switch to a Steinberger Spirit bass due to the weight. I would love to have somthing like this with the full body but still light as hell. Really nice demo !!!! As usual your videos are great.
I’ve got the Strandberg Boden Bass and it’s absolutely wonderful. I own 12 basses and this one gets 90% of my playing time. Light, powerful low end, the neck is crazy good and it’s just super comfortable to play. Only minor downside is the gigbag isn’t very good.
I have this bass too.When you play standing with a strap its not good. The pick ups dark glass are the best I have ever used. The gig bag is fine I tour with it...
@@soopahsoopah it’s very thin. The bottom has almost no real padding so if you put it down on hard ground you can hear a thunk from the strap pin. The neck isn’t well supported. The higher quality guitar bag (voyager bag) is much better but this one is terrible. It’s ok I just chuck it in a mono but that then defeats the object of a smaller bass to carry.
I already own one of these. It has to be my absolute favourite bass. It is a 5 string that feels like a 4 string to play in all the right ways. I'm a big slapper and tapper and could not recommend it more. Just wish Strandberg would make more basses with 4,5 and 6 string variants
I bought one of their guitars and I was hesitant, but I noticed a lot of jazz and fusion players were using them and I was like why get another guitar that was designed in 1950 whatever. Honestly I can't seem to play my regular guitars as long. I'm starting to look at their basses, I'm now sold on the headless thing.
Thanks for having Dr. Kurtz on. I had some ulnar nerve issues last year due to playing with bad form and his videos were great for helping me get back on track with better habits.
My doctor might want me to play it but he better makes my Insurance cover it because my wallet has a stroke thinking about it. Jokes aside it looks and sounds amazing.
Thanks for the video! I would love to see more play time with the single coil set ups, in passive as well. Like how close can it get to a p bass, jazz bass, etc. The single coil sound in the video reminded me of a jazz bass! :)
i got a Keisel Zeus 5 string for similar reasons. Long cover gigs with a heavy bass was KILLING my shoulder. did i get some funny looks for playing a headless? sure, but the beneffits were awesome. Headless is also really nice for playing on cramped stages.
Thought the same, but the doctor still bends his right hand when playing.. so there goes one selling point 😂. I hope I get the opportunity to try one out though to learn otherwise! 😄
I might have missed something, but the only difference between this model and the initially revealed models are the pickups and tops right? Loved Frank's playing regardless.
When Frank plays a bass I want, I have to watch with the sound off first. He’s so good, *every* bass sounds like gold in his hands! Instead, I follow a simple rule. Just watch the face! The Bassier the Face, the better the Bass! I saw Frank’s face when he beat on that bass, so I KNOW I need one! 😅 (What does a Tribe Shob do to Frank’s face, I wonder…? 🤔)
Build this bass is Sweden and get the payment :). My ibanez about 3 times less expensive but made by the same people in the same factory in Indonesia 😂😂 and sounds great
@@Infectedbyevil ah yes ok my bad! Love the BtB’s great value for money and well made (but not ergonomic). I have a EHB1505ms aside of my Strandberg… would say it sounds better, but the build quality is shameful
I have the 5 string Prog bass. Its way too perfect, very Swedish. All the string tension are the same, a big achievement but that's the problem, very Swedish again. It took me months to get use to it...perfect tension as oppose a P bass which has some funky character. You notice the doctor, when he is sitting, the upper part of the neck sits out about a 45 degree angle enabling him to easily reach the top part of the bass. When I use a strap playing out live the bass neck is perpendicular to the body making it very hard to reach the top part of the the bass compounded by the wider fret spacing. My model has the Dark Glass pre-amp which might be the best plug in the board sound I have ever gotten. In all a great bass, its my main ax but the standing situation has not been resolved yet.
yes, these are on a completely different level. I was surprised who good they sound despite their low weight. The pickups seem to make a huge difference
Does someone have this bass? I am seriously thinking about this one, but I dunno these Fishmans and pre sounds just not to my taste I think. I like aggressive higher sounds and also melodic smooth like
Hello. I'm looking for a light bass that sounds good in good quality, that will last over time, and was wondering if you could do a comparison between the following basses: Cort Artisan Space 5 bass guitar Strandberg Boden Prog 5 Ibanez EHB1505MS Meta Guitars Veil long scale 5string BassLab STD-Bass and L-Bow-Bass all 5string and then also get to hear you describe what you think of them and how it feels to play on the different basses.
Pfft. I didn't need the expense, guys! I love my Ibanez 1265ms for many of the same reasons, but the sculpted neck and cut outs on this are really selling me. I also like the Fishmans from my Dimension, although like that one, the split coil on this seems useless to me. The full settings all sound great, though. ty To the Doc! He basically just told you every injury I have.
Thank you for the review, commentary and playing... and medical advice. I'm curious. What is the space you record in? Do you have a store - or what is it you do outside of filming videos (I assume it's probably music related)? All the best!
I have a boden prog bass and I freaking LOVE it, my only complaint is that they dont make a 6 string and as far as i know have no plans to make one, I would buy it in a heartbeat!!!
Yah that is a bit of an issue for me. I was looking at a Dingwall Nolly and it's hard to get excited about a $2700 made in China bass. I went with a used Kiesel Zeus. $1400 for a swamp ash multi scale 6 string was to hard to pass up.
Did anyone here compare the Strandberg Boden basses with the Ibanez EHB series? They are both made in Indonesia and I have to say my Ehb1000s was a good deal for less than €1000
Sounds great, and looks a very high end bass at £3500... The million dollar question for me is, why does it only have a "gig bag"?, it needs a proper, quality hard case.., and I would expect that on something of this value... - Just saying..
I see your point, but personally I'm always happy when basses ship with gigbags instead. Too many cases taking up too much space... never know where to put them. Ok... I own too many basses ;)
But the strap pins are not placed very well, very good for the balance but having schaller strap locks, it just digs into my chest while playing, super annoying! (and the bridge / saddle design is atrocious). But overall, yes, it plays like a dream :)
Really good bass, it has all i want in just one instrument, but bass aside, Chiropractors aren't real doctors, are they? at least in my country they are seen as scammers
Frank has the best bass face ever!
He sure looks like he's straining to squeeze out that perfect note.
Or he has an eaten enough fiber.
Frank is such a versatile bassist.
To be Frank with you, when I grow up, I wanna be Frank
Frankly?
0:15 holy crap I'm stealing that bass line
DAMN! At 4:00 Frank does the most aggressive thing I have ever seen by a bass player 🤣 He is fantastic!!! 😍
6.4 freedom kilos lmao
I need all measurements converted to football fields.
Fractional math IS difficult for the slow-witted.....
Americans will use any measurement system except the metric system.

This is one of the best episode ever.
From the host, the demo and the doctor, this is a great simple complete show full with great needed information.

It’s ok I just chuck it in a mono but that then defeats the object of a smaller bass to carry.
@@bassmonk2920 have you tried the Basiner Strap made for strandberg? I find it very good and makes it much easier to play on the strap.
@@chrisjs6123 looks like it would fit in a regular guitar bag though?
That was awesome. Thanks to the doc for his input, very informative!
I already own one of these. It has to be my absolute favourite bass. It is a 5 string that feels like a 4 string to play in all the right ways. I'm a big slapper and tapper and could not recommend it more. Just wish Strandberg would make more basses with 4,5 and 6 string variants
Frank was definitely on form today.
That bass is a big WOW.
The Ibanez EMB series completely changed the way I see headless basses. I doubt I will ever go back to playing a full size bass live.
I hope they release a 37"MS someday
I bought one of their guitars and I was hesitant, but I noticed a lot of jazz and fusion players were using them and I was like why get another guitar that was designed in 1950 whatever.

Frank’s bass face on a t-shirt 😂 amazing.
Frank has had one too many espressos, I like it.
Thanks for having Dr. Kurtz on. I had some ulnar nerve issues last year due to playing with bad form and his videos were great for helping me get back on track with better habits.
I really like this. A light ergonomic 5 string. Just need to think of i can get used to fanned frets.
Thank you guys. Modern, very nice sound indeed. It has its price though right
I love every single one of your videos sir. You are a brilliant presenter!
My doctor might want me to play it but he better makes my Insurance cover it because my wallet has a stroke thinking about it.
Jokes aside it looks and sounds amazing.
Honestly I don't think I've ever heard a fluence bass demo I've liked until now. They really work in this bass.
Do they come in four string?
Thanks for the video! I would love to see more play time with the single coil set ups, in passive as well. Like how close can it get to a p bass, jazz bass, etc. The single coil sound in the video reminded me of a jazz bass! :)
lovely instrument, went for the d'roc for the subjectively nicer sound and passive design though..
You should talk about the upper horn not extending to the 12th fret, which affects where the bass sits when you're wearing it standing up.
i got a Keisel Zeus 5 string for similar reasons. Long cover gigs with a heavy bass was KILLING my shoulder. did i get some funny looks for playing a headless? sure, but the beneffits were awesome. Headless is also really nice for playing on cramped stages.
1:24 "...freedom kilos". 😝
Very interesting, especially the ergonomic body.
Thought the same, but the doctor still bends his right hand when playing.. so there goes one selling point 😂. I hope I get the opportunity to try one out though to learn otherwise! 😄
Frank is the best thing in the video, without a doubt.
Definitely sounded like Darkglass Distortion 🤘 Doc actually has great hand technique
IttTheWorld at it's best! Frank, bester Mann!
I might have missed something, but the only difference between this model and the initially revealed models are the pickups and tops right? Loved Frank's playing regardless.
Massive help! Bruised right forearm from a 4 hr gig... Definitely need to focus on not being in pain again.
5 strings and slanted fret is a go to for me ❤
Gregor and Frank are the best

THE FACE ITS EVERYTHING! KEEP ROCKING!
I'd love if these had a more budget option. They are pricey....but it sounded damn good.
Build this bass is Sweden and get the payment :).
My ibanez about 3 times less expensive but made by the same people in the same factory in Indonesia 😂😂 and sounds great
If you talk about the EHB series, I can tell you this is absolutely day and night in term of finish and quality control

I had one of these for a while. It didn't have the Fishman pickups. Sound wise, it wasn't getting it for me so I sold it. This one sounds pretty good.

Who knew Christian Bale had a brother who is a doctor and a bass player?
String spacing too narrow?
How long is the neck? Standard 4 or 5 string scale?
Could you please provide the exact model and maybe an exact link to the manufacturers website? Thank you!
All info is in the video description

3 989 € for an Indonesia made bass ? Are you kidding me ?
Yah that is a bit of an issue for me. I was looking at a Dingwall Nolly and it's hard to get excited about a $2700 made in China bass. I went with a used Kiesel Zeus. $1400 for a swamp ash multi scale 6 string was to hard to pass up.

They are both made in Indonesia and I have to say my Ehb1000s was a good deal for less than €1000
And the Strandberg is 4000€, it’s crazy 🤯
I have a book of that guy!!!!! Nice!!!!
Chiropractor = quack. Acupuncturist = quack. Both … double quack. It’s outrageous these people can call themselves doctors. Great channel btw.
Wasn't going to buy another bass, but Drs orders.....

@@basstheworldofficialIt certainly is a fantastic bass... Love your channel too..., always watch.., really good... 👍
Until my doctor saw the price tag and said nope...there are other lightweight options for less than half of this bass.
Think doc would write a Rx for one? my insurance might cover it.
Everything is ergonomic but the price
Frank looks like he's just as disgusted as we are at that tone.
Doctor has enough money to buy a Strandberg, not me 😅
THE MOST EXPENSIVE MADE IN INDONESIA BASS!!!
Damn, your dad gave this bass a beating.
But the strap pins are not placed very well, very good for the balance but having schaller strap locks, it just digs into my chest while playing, super annoying! (and the bridge / saddle design is atrocious). But overall, yes, it plays like a dream :)
Stienberger basses and the Yamaha DX 7,
80%of the 1980s sound's...
Does it come w a purse? 😂😂😂
fishmans are getting pretty common basses nowadays
Greatè But my doctor and my wallet have different opinions on that one ;)
I love strandbergs and would love to have one, but I just can't wrap my head around the stupid intonation-setting system...
Frank just went full on gorilla!!!
Indonesian built at a reasonable pricepoint?
Me want!
Cool👌🏻
Frank the Stank!
mmm nice but at that price I would expect a case....
Its price %!$@$#%! everything.
My wallet will hate me
2:30 for 4k you get THIS volume difference when switching between singles and humbs? That's ridiculous :) IMO Strandberg is overpriced
just get an ibanez ehb-1005sms and save yourself some money
nice bass. €4K.
They are so costly 😭
Strandberg? Whats next? Render? 😂

Good bass.
I would never trust a chiropractor as I have an orthopaedic surgeon in the family.
They just can't make a bass like this in the $500 range can they.. huge hole in the market
