Quotes and Letters to Traben Bass Company

"wow I had the opportunity to play and enjoy the new bootsy bass. I was gigging with my friend chris (akaFREEKBASS). we share alot of shows throughout the year and I must say he has never sounded better. the clarity was overwhelming. youve hit this one dead-on. I plan on using freekbass' bootsy bass on the next noizbox cd and hope to have one of my own one day. unfortunately, chris gets his for free since he's down with bootsy Ill have to take the blue collar approach." cheers, Starkey- bass player with noizbox
"Hi! I just wanted to let you know that, in the past 3 weeks, I have purchased 2 Traben basses. One is the 4-string "Array Limited" model & the other is the 5-string "Phoenix" model. I love them both & feel that they are both the finest basses I have ever owned. The quality & awesome looks for the price is truly amazing. When I received my Phoenix 5 string new from the store shipped to me in the box...I pulled it out & was amazed at how beautiful & awesome it looks & sounds! Even out of the box, the string set up was just right. Played so sweet & has looks to thank God for! Thank you so much for making these awesome & beautiful basses so affordable & still with amazing quality & playing style. So much for the money! I'm a Traben player for Life! Thanks again. Best regards, Howie Orell"
The tone and sustainabilty are incredible. Ive been playing about 2 hours a day on it ever since and only about another hour a day on my other gear. This Bass really delivers and out performs others that are over twice the cost. Just to make sure my ears weren't playing tricks on me, I had a friend of mine who is the best live and studio Bass player in Montana check it out. He's 10 years older than me and has been playing for 30 years. He looked it over twice, played it for about an hour and was also impressed. When I told him how much it cost he thought I was joking. I don't know anthing about your company, but you guys are really on to something here.Looks & Functionality all rolled into one cool stick. -Margita
My name is Dirk Lance, I play bass for the hard rock/metal band Minus 40 in carver MA. About a year or so ago I purchased a Kore-4 and was blown away. The tone is insane, the sustain in groundbreaking, and oh yeah it looks bad ass. I just picked up a Array Premium 5 stiring and was once again completely blown away by the sheer power that I now hold in my hands. I have put down both my Warwicks, my Shecter, my Lakeland, and my fender. I taught them to lie down and pay homage to what all bases should strive be. I will never buy another brand, you guy make the best looking, best sounding, and well construceted product that I have ever had the pleasure of playing. My the four stings of the apocolyps keep shaking your world.
Dirk Lance
"Hello my name is Bryan Pitre I live in Collongwood,Ontario Canada and I am e-mailing you to let you know that the traben Array Premium bass that I purchased is the best and most well designed bass I have ever touched or even seen. I have four basses a gibson,washburn and and fender and nothing of them compare to the sound and the incredible felling that your product gives off. And I must say that the color is so deep and beautiful that every time I look at I almost cry. So I am leeting you know that from now on I will be only dealing with you and spread a good word.lol."
Sincerly Bryan Pitre
"I can't say enough about Traben. I own three. 2 Kores and 1 Torrent. I have them with me always. I say this to let you know I also own other ridiculously. expensive bassiss that are also 35" scale. I tell people to buy one now before they become expensive as well. I will endores your product as much as I can and will continue to do so as long as I can."
Thanx, Ash Bryant Diegan"WOW! Have never written a company before about a product, but I just can't help myself on this one. At 35 years old - have mostly stuck with Fender. The wife says I need to a cooler Bass because the Fender is an old mans Bass. But I have tried almost every Bass out there and Besides Fender the only other two I prefer are Warwick and Tobias(The real guy, not the old bought out company). Dean on the Acoustic. Anyhow, My wife gets me a Traben Phoenix 4 in Solarburst for Christmas. The last thing a musician needs is their spouse choosing there gear. So I'm thinking, looks cool but probably has no play and thank God I'm leaving for Belize the next morning to spend some time on the islands. She would have wanted me to try it out right then and there and I was stressed that I would have to hurt her feelings on Christmas and tell her to ship it back.
Even after coming off vacation I don't even plug in until about 2 weeks ago when my wife says "You haven't said much about your gift". I'm not a quick thinker so I say "Oh, you outta hear. It's Awsome". That was the wrong thing to say at that point since her response was "I want to hear you play play it, lets go down into studio". That's when I had to start think fast on questions like " Why is the tag still hanging off it?". reply "Uh, cuz the logo is cool". Long story short. From the time I plugged it in I was blown away. Now I can say upfont that this bass isn't for me on solo thumpin, but WOW! WOW! WOW! on everthing else. The tone and sustainabilty are incredible. Ive been playing about 2 hours a day on it ever since and only about another hour a day on my other gear. This Bass really delivers and out performs others that are over twice the cost.
Just to make sure my ears weren't playing tricks on me, I had a friend of mine who is the best live and studio Bass player in Montana check it out. He's 10 years older than me and has been playing for 30 years. He looked it over twice, played it for about an hour and was also impressed. When I told him how much it cost he thought I was joking. I don't know anthing about your company, but you guys are really on to something here. Looks & Functionality all rolled into one cool stick."
William Margita - Pray, MT "My name is Jeff Adams, a noted pro bassist in the Contemporary Christian music genre for over 20 years. Throughout my career, I have owned/played every high end bass on the market today and nothing can match the sound and performance of the Traben. The quality and unique character of the instrument always cuts through no matter what type of music you perform. When, I purchased my first Traben the positive feedback from the audience and from other musicians was immediate. Your instruments perform flawlessly night after night, session after session. I would like to have some custom instruments created by your custom shop. I would like to personally thank everyone associated with Traben basses for making the commitment to create and produce the best bass guitars in the world! Never waver on your commitment to quality and tone! I currently tour and record with a Kore 4 & 5 string and a Torrent 5 string. I love these guitars they sound, play and look amazing!"
Jeff Adams
