Aaaargh, Darkstrider,
You're hurting my eyes again.
Don't stare directly at the Tribal Sun.
Ooh, the beauty.
(The beast plays it right?)
I searched around, and over here I can't get Trabens.
Perhaps ordering directly from US.
Btw: I find that a strange string spacing (but huray for alliteration though).
There seems not much difference between the spacing at the head and at the bridge. ??
Or is that just an illusion.
Angle of the pic, it a standard jazz taper, real fast, thin, satin finished neck.
I actually did get that sent from the US, including shipping and taxes, was still under e500!I had to roll the fingerboard edges myself, took like five/ten miniutes.
Got it from The Music Farm, off of eBay, had it in 7 days too.
That is a very sweet price for such a thing.
I'm trying to think if I ever saw a more beautiful bass. But can't come up with one.
You make me GAS for Traben.
It looks like they put a Double Bass neck on a solid body.
Very cool.
How does that thing sound anyway.
Close to an upright? Warm tones?
Just got my lowly little Neo 4, but she's cute and deadly!

It's a great-playing bass...the bridge is a bit on the corny-looking side, but I love the sound of this thing. It's unfortunate that they get pigeonholed as a "metal" bass (whatever the hell that is)...I find it to be quite versatile tonally.
