Thumbs up FT or FS Feeler: Traben John Moyer Havoc

Sign in to disble this ad
This is the official signature model, not the cheaper standard version.

2 Rockfield MM pickups
Aguilar OBP-3 preamp
5-way selector swtich
Light Satin Maple neck (very fast)
Rosewood Fretboard
Paulonia boody wood
Black Vapor finish (looks somewhat purple in the pics, but it is not in person)
5-string, 35" scale
Bolt-on neck
Grover Tuners
Bridge can be either string-thru, or top-load


This bass is only about 7 months old and has been babied. It has one very small mark on the side that isn't very noticeable. This is one of the good Trabens. I love this bass and the way it sounds, but I'm slowly wanting to switch back to 4-strings.

I am in no hurry to trade this, I'm just waiting for the right bass to show up.

I'm looking for a good 4-string that can handle a a whole-step drop-tune, and maybe drop-C. I want something pretty metal sounding.

Will also sell for $500. Local deals only. Will travel some.

Just let me know what you have. The worst I can say is no.

I love the bass, but after buying a Rickenbacker, all I want are 4-strings, and one five for when I need it. Which is what my Schecter is for.

How's the neck thickness on this bass...front to back I mean. I've never had a chance to play one of these.

Front to back is pretty thin. I am not sure on the exact measurements. It is a somewhat wide neck, but is not thick at all.

Also adding any Euro Spector + some cash on my end, as a bass I'd trade with. Or a Musicman 4H or a Musicman Sterling single humbucker + money on my end.

I hope you get what youre looking for Mitchy! I love this bass, Disturbed is one of my all time favorite basses.

And hey, dont be telling people you arent a Fender guy! I still have that text of you saying your P was the best playing bass you ever laid your hands on. Its call evidence.

Yeah, but that was then. After buying a Rickenbacker, nothing can beat it. I just want something with a smaller neck, and that can be drop-tuned. Fender's don't do that for me. I don't hate Fender's, but they aren't my favorite. haha.

Are you sure the neck is unfinished, rather than finished in light satin, they would feel similar, and Traben usually do the satin on their bolt on's.

Raw maple would need regular oiling, and turn black fairly quickly if you didn't.

It must be light satin then. I'm not 100% sure. It definitely doesn't have a glossy coat. It never gets sticky after sweaty playing or anything like that. It is always fast.

Yup, sounds like satin, same as my fretless, super fast, never sticky, very nice feeling!

Good luck with trading it.
