I've been drooling over a Chaos 5er, but the neck looks too huge for me. Anyone got the neck dimensions for a 5-string Chaos for me? Please? I would be honored to join as #38 later.

Depends on the model, my two, one is one of the lightest I have, and the other is one of the heaviest, in fact the heaviest.So I went to the shop today and there was a Chaos Core 4. I played a little with it and it was totally sick. I really liked the tone. I tried a Greg Weeks Chaos too and it sounded awesome aswell... But I wanted a 5 string (Chaos Core, Whisky Burl) so it will get shipped to the store in a couple weeks... They look sooooo much better in person... They don't look as fat and bulky as on the pics. And btw, they really aren't as heavy as some people make it sound like on here... This bass is a lot less heavier than most basses I've tried/owned. (granted, there aren't many, but still.) It might also be the fact that I'm quite a big guy so I don't feel it as heavy as some others do...
I'll soon be the owner of a Traben Chaos Core 5![]()
Finally ordered a Chaos 5! Yes! Unfortunately, it doesn't get back in stock 'til mid August....
Waaaaiiiiitiiiinnngggg.....

Ive finally Got my Traben on the way, Been reading through this thread and all of the trabens seem magnificent so im now more confident that ever in my choice of new bassI originally ordered a Traben array attack 4 all the way back in january but the dispatch company hve put the dispatch back further and further back, so i rang today to see whats happening, well now i understand after a look through the thread, the basses seem to be quite hard to come by
but anyway i was offered a higher model which i wanted originally but couldnt afford as they had it in stock. So now i have a beautiful Traben Neo Limited 4 in spaltburst on its way as they had 2 in stock. I also had £100 ( im guessing 150 - 175usd$) knocked off for the 6 month inconvenience so im over the moon. will post pics soon as it arrives
