KiOgon Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) For sale or trade, my (now 3 month old) Traben Neo Limited 4 string in Spalted Burst Maple with Black Hardware. Traben:- [url="http://www.trabenbass.com/neo_limited.php"]http://www.trabenbass.com/neo_limited.php[/url] Everyone who sees this bass says how good it is, but nobody wants to but it It's just sitting here not getting used, someone must have a sense of adventure? This Neo is better than you'll find one in the shops I'll guarantee! This has had many hours spent on it - setting it up right, not playing it! Controls:- [url="http://www.trabenbass.com/controls.php"]http://www.trabenbass.com/controls.php[/url] To start with the volume etc knobs weren't fitted right & the volume & blend pots were fitted in the wrong place. So now the pots are right & the knobs too. The fret board was covered in some sort of blue dye or similar. After hours of scrubbing with Lemon oil, 'tis now a decent bit of rosewood, the frets are fine & the neck is straight, fast & sweet. Intonation is now spot on & the action set low with no buzzing. The electronic are great, Trabens pups & eq give an excellent tonal range, + Traben's most boasted point - the sustain! Put it on the stand & go make a cup of tea, the note's still there!!!! It has a new set on Rotosound Nexus NXE 45-105 strings fitted, (my favourite strings at the moment) if you haven't tried them & you like black then I'd recommend these. The original strings, removed & cleaned after a few days are included. I think they're Ernie Balls, anyway they're as good as new. No marks or damage at all to the woodwork or any parts except 1 tiny mark on the bridge plate near the pup, (hardly noticeable but has to be mentioned). The Neo is 1200 mm long, so I got a Fender style Tweed 'long' case to house it, brand new - has a tiny cut out of the piping (manufacturing defect) but otherwise perfect. [b][color="#FF0000"][u]REDUCED - NOW £250 or offer?[/u][/color][/b] with case, (see above for trades), will courier at cost (buyer to pay) or if you're 'down South' you're welcome to come try before you buy & have a cuppa. Please email if you'd like more pictures or have any questions. Cheers, John Edited December 29, 2009 by KiOgon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of sounds - went to GAK today & true - the Traben sounded raunchier than the aerodyne jazz I was comparing! It is very 'rockier' just not for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
