Traben Chaos Core 5 Review

[Snakeman1066]

Well, here it is close to 2023 and the Chaos 5 with rockfield pups are still selling for over $600 USED! I’m trading a Squier guitar tomorrow for one and I couldn’t be more excited to finally get to play and own one of these. They just look and sound amazing! Too bad they folded or got acquired by BC Rich, if I’m correct.

They were acquired by (Hanser) the parent company that owned B.C. Rich...B.C. Rich has since been sold off as well (in 2019) the new B.C. Rich stuff is really nice...however Traben is officially no more...

Ben Chafin still builds custom basses in Tampa Florida...
