neepheid Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 (edited) SOLD! I'm selling my Traben Chaos Attack. I bought it in August last year (had to get it across from the States), has not been gigged, only seen occasional band practice and recording duties. It is a 34" scale bass with a royal paulonia body and a burled maple top (with matching headstock), bolt on 24 fret maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, abalone inlays. 2 stingray style humbuckers with 5 way switch (all bridge, outer single coils, all, inner single coils, all neck) and 3 band EQ. 18V preamp. Chaos internal bridge - through body or top load stringing and locking saddles. Currently string with D'addario half rounds 45-100. It is in mint condition, no dings, no rash. It is a lightweight bass, would be great for long gigs. It's also very difficult to photograph! Better photos coming. More info here: [url="http://www.trabenbass.com/chaos_attack.php"]http://www.trabenbass.com/chaos_attack.php[/url] The distributor recommended price for one of these is £485.33 ( [url="http://www.rosetti.co.uk/Product/Traben-Chaos-Attack-4-Bass"]http://www.rosetti.co.uk/Product/Traben-Chaos-Attack-4-Bass[/url] ), the best price I could find is £429 ( [url="http://www.giggear.co.uk/p/Traben-Chaos-Attack-Granite/"]http://www.giggear.co.uk/p/Traben-Chaos-Attack-Granite/[/url] ). There is no UK stock of this bass at the moment. From the States you're looking at about £278 + £70 shipping + £60 VAT = £408 (probably more fees on top from couriers etc.). With all that in mind, I'd like £ [s]350[/s] 325 for the bass. I'd prefer bank transfer, if you want to use Paypal then I'll have to take fees into account. [attachment=42448:pos1_eq_flat.mp3] - Position 1 - all neck humbucker, EQ flat [attachment=42449:pos2_eq_flat.mp3] - Position 2 - inner single coils, EQ flat [attachment=42450:pos3_eq_flat.mp3] - Position 3 - both humbuckers, EQ flat [attachment=42451:pos4_eq_flat.mp3] - Position 4 - outer single coils, EQ flat [attachment=42452:pos5_eq_flat.mp3] - Position 5 - all bridge pickup, EQ flat [attachment=42453:pos2_eq152.mp3] - Position 2 - inner single coils, EQ +1 low +5 mid +2 high Edited March 15, 2010 by neepheid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHUFC BASS Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 They're great basses. I've got a five string Chaos Core and they're great for metal, punk, rock and well...almost anything really. Like a Stingray on steroids. I don't think I'd ever use any other basses now, I'm perfectly happy with the sound of my Traben basses. The Chaos bridge is a lot nicer looking that the ugly slab of metal bridges on the other model - oh and its true, the sound from these is huge. The Rockfield pre-amp to me sounds better than the Aguilar pre-amp for live work, although the Aguilar does sound nice when recorded. Have a bump for a great bass.

WHUFC BASS Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Can't believe this hasn't gone - any metal players out there should snap this up. They're great. Sorry to keep banging on about them but they really are underatted basses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ou7shined Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Me too. I've played this bass. It has a dark sound right enough. I heard more of a round arsed P rather than 'ray. Saying that I think my favourite pup position was inner single coils. The all over satin feel is frictionless wonder to behold and it's light weight is beyond the natural laws of physics. Matt is a top bloke to deal with, keeps his basses in tip-top condish and ain't too sloppy at a set up either. This bass will be like new to whomever snaffles it.
