Anyone know? AFAIK no one can get them right now, even the certified dealers, are they done? I love what they have done with Rockfield and the new designs, what gives?

Whats happened to Traben?
- Thread starter Lo end PUNCH
- Start date
I've been to a couple places in town when they started making the Chaos Core, Moyer sig, etc type of basses with the Rockfield pups and Aggy pre-amps and they made it sound like you'd have to be on a waiting list a mile long to even LOOK at one in person. Now, those same places have them in stock and can't get rid of them, so I don't know what gives, man.
I do know that I've given a Moyer Standard sig a test drive a few times lately and likely will buy it unless someone can give me a reasonably compelling reason not to do so. It sounds great. Feels great. Nice bass all around.

Bass lines like a big, funky giant
Traben is one of the brands "managed" (translation: imported) by Hanser Music Group/Hanser Holdings International. Some of the other brands they "manage" are B.C. Rich, Breatheaudio, Davitt & Hanser, Floyd Rose, Kustom, Michael Kelly, Nuvo, Rockfield Pickups, and Stage One. They used to "manage" OLP, but that particular brand is now defunct. Traben is still a viable product line being "managed" by Hanser.
Thats strange. I was in in a music store trying a Traben Array Attack a week ago. They said they just go it in. They might have been lieing though, who knows?
Maybe I should've made the post more clear, I'm not looking for one(already have a couple) but I've been hearing stories. The Perfect Bass only offered that they have severed their relationship with them and might resume it in the future, I have heard similar stories from other carriers.
Hanser now distributes Warwick as well, so perhaps that has impacted Traben's distribution.
They are changing manufacturers. They ****ed up a bunch of basses, so they're closing the factory and opening another one elsewhere.
