PRICE DROP on Traben $365 shipped!! ----------
<<< Traben Still Available - Scroll Down >>>
I have decided to get rid of my 35 scale 5 stringers. Ive fallen in love with playing my Brubaker Brute with a 34 scale, so the un-played, dust collectors have got to go.
First, is a Peavey Cirrus BXP 5 Tiger-eye, quilt top with black hardware. This is a neck-thru with 3 band 18v active eq and pups. I think it's 18mm at the bridge. I bought this used off Ebay in early spring of this year.
Cosmetically its a 9 - 9.5 out of 10 (just a few superficial scratches that I can find on the body or headstock . . . You have to be within inches to see them . . . Could probably even be buffed out with a little rubbing compound. The back of the neck has a vertical mark at the 5th fret . . . I believe the previous owner used it as a position marker/feeler . . . I sanded it down a little and now it can barely be felt).
The action is low, the sound is sweet, has sustain for days, and its got a fresh set of DR Black Beauties on it. It has a stock preamp which the previous owner said was just replaced before he sold it to me. SOLD $370 Shipped.
Next, a Traben Chaos Attack 5 in Granite. I just picked this up a couple months ago on trade. It was basically new, the guy just didnt like the 5th string, so I traded my old four for this.
Cosmetically its a 9.5 out of 10. Still has the plastic on battery and control covers. The Chaos series come with a satin or matte finish, in other words, not glossy. Well, I scuffed the surface a little at practice one night and took some rubbing compound to it to clean it up. This resulted in one small glossy spot. . . . So, I took rubbing compound to the entire top side to remedy this. I guess its now a unique or one-of-a-kind Chaos. I like it better this way as it turns out (you can now see clearly what was a not fully smooth/prepped surface before painting . . . But you gotta be within inches to see). The bolt-on maple neck, w/ rosewood board is perfect, with nice and low string action. It also has dual truss rods for added stability. Spacing at the bridge is 19mm. This bass also has a fresh set of DR Black Beauties on it.
The Attack series has two split Rockfield MM pups, running to a 5 way selector switch, running through a 3-band Rockfield 18v preamp. It sounds really nice. I was very pleasantly surprised at the multiple usable tones, great B string, and super sustain (the Chaos high-mass internal bridge is to thank for that . . . Anyway, it definitely seems to add bigger tone and sustain IMHO . . . I think it really does make a difference!). Anyway, for under $400 its an awesome sounding bass!!! $365 Shipped.
I've also got a decent, generic, gig-bag, add $15 . . . And a nearly new Musicians Gear brand hard shell case SOLD, add $40 . . . If you're interested.
Please PM me with any ?'s, offers, etc.
PayPal preferred. Also paypal e-check or USPS MO are acceptable (shipping delayed until after these are safely deposited in my bank account).
Free shipping to CONUS lower 48 only!!!
I'm willing to ship to Canada at an up-charge, we'll hash that out as needed.
