Ghosts Over Japan Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 man thats a really nice bass, how does slap sound on that? can you get a good tone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassJase Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Lovely stuff my man, I have two Trabens (a Phoenix and a Torrent custom) and they're both awesome. And i had an Array like yours (but 5-string in natural spalt-maple) but sold it. But thems nice basses, top banana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olpray Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 the tone of this bass in general is fantastic, especially for metalheads like myself the traben's unique tribal designs are actually part of the bridge and traben claim in gives the bass a much deeper tone and to be honest it does. It is unbeliveably good. check them out www.trabenbass.com i really want a pheonix lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 That bridge is a cool design. I found a good vid clip of some famous bassist playing one of these on youtube, can't find it now...

BassJase Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Heres my two amigo, the Phoenix is on the left and the Torrent is in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Here's my Phoenix 5. This is my spare fretted bass and live back-up for my Gus G3 5-string. One or two issues with it construction wise - the battery compartment cover is much too tight a fit to remove easily (or at all so far) and it needs a bit more attention to the finishing of the fret ends - but for the price (£300 inc shipping from the US) I can't really complain. There see to be have been plenty of bargains on ebay recently if you're prepared to buy from the US. I'm on the look out for a Bootsy Collins 5-string Signature model at the right price.

Catnip Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 The Treben's just appeared in the PMT stores, and I dashed over to their Birmingham store yesterday to grab their Phoenix, they have some of the Neo's left in that store, they said they have 33 of them in the UK, 32 now and I'm now a happy man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I can't believe how cheap some of these are in the States. The big nasty discount dealers have the black Array's, like the one below, starting at $280! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
