35 in. scale. Inferno bridge. Active electronics.
Overview
The Traben Bass Chaos model has a striking Quilt Maple top, 5-piece Maple and Walnut neck, Traben pickups and electronics, and an awesome Inferno bridge design. The Traben Chaos has higher string tension than many other basses, due to its 35 in. scale length. Combine that with the large brass bridge and you have the heart of an incredible bass tone machine. The special Traben neck joint lets you absolutely fly on the upper frets. The Chaos is another rock solid winner from Traben Bass Company.
Features:
Sleek contoured body design
Large brass bridge for improved sound

Traben Dead-Bolt neck joint design

"This beast needs to be unleashed, What a tone bank. I loved it so much I bought 2."

This is it, The Fender American Deluxe Five string goes in the case. The Ibanez, back in the case. MY two Traben's (four and five strings)step up as my goto basses now.
Sound
This beast has a mountain of tonal variations. With the active electronics set at flat (middle click) all I need is to move my right hand position closer or farther away from the bridge and the range of tone is incredible. Incorproate the single tone control and the possibilities blossom even more, kick in the active EQ and the world of tone is at your finger tips. I have the chaos five string and the low end is as powerful as the high as far as clarity is concerned. I have a Deluxe Jazz V bass that cost 8x as much but maintains half the tonal value.
Features
I got a little wrench set with my bass but who needs it?. I pulled the bass out of the box,installed a battery, tuned it and played it. This thing was shipped half way around the world and out of the box it rocked. The one thing I feel is lacking is volume control for each pick-up, but as mentiond before just moving the right hand position compensates for the absents of an additional knob.
Quality
From the tuning keys, the neck joint, the maple top, the brass nut, the huge bridge, the active electronic, the finish, the five piece neck, this bass should have cost @ $800-$1000 bucks. Hey, it looks cool as hell, plays like a dream, has sustain that won't quit,… read more and the tone!! the tone I tell ya, WOW.
Value
I have never gotten a deal like this before, Two of these basses for dime less then five bills.
Manufacturer Support
As of yet I have not needed any support, however I did get on line and ask a few question. I recieved a prompt professional response.
The Wow Factor
I ordered the root beer, got this funky fire burst or what ever they call it. Try shipping it back from where I am!!no way!! its pretty cool though. I did not know this color was an option, It looks so cool, but then again I'm a little strange. The fire bridge looks great. The neck joint is great, the neck feels good in my hand, not to big and not to small. It sets good with a wide strap. Its a little heavy, makes for good tone.And yes Its a little sexy.
