Traben Basses Array 5 Series TRAA5SBK 5-String Bass Guitar, Black Satin Review

I've had this bass (Traben Array 5) for two years and I like it much better than my Fender Active 5 (MIM) Jazz bass. The Traben has better playability, better sound (though the Fender isn't bad), there's a wider range of sound, and of course the looks are awesome. Unfortunately I have to use the Fender more often because the "looks" of the Traben don't go well with playing in a church Praise Team band (though I do bring it occasionally).

It has a huge low-end and when I turn the bass EQ knob slightly past the mid-point the house starts to shake even with the amp at low volume. You get a significantly different sound when you select the bridge versus the neck pickup (neck is better for slap), and since it is controlled by a knob you have a wide range to choose from. While my Fender has this same knob, it doesn't seem like the variation is quite as much, probably because the Traben uses a humbucker at the bridge.

The Traben has a longer scale than standard basses like the Fender, and that's also another thing I like about it (feels better for me, perhaps since I'm 6'-3". (Note: you'll need to buy the extended scale strings).

The Traben is also significantly lighter than the Fender. I've seen some reviewers say they have trouble with the [physical] balance when strapped over your shoulder, but generally I don't have a problem, though I do notice it. You may have to hold it a little different from the older, heavier bass designs, but no big deal once you get the hang of it (yes, pun intended).

I think the price might throw people off a little. Generally it's around $500 and that might make it seem like a "starter" bass. I must admit, it was my "starter" bass (after playing guitar for 20 years and wanting to try something else). But I think it's somewhat inexpensive because of the relatively simple look (flat black, no binding, dot inlays). The look of the bridge makes up for all that. There's no scratching sound when the knobs are turned and they feel nice and smooth - so really good quality. The three tone knobs have mid-point detents to help you know where you are. Six bolts connect the neck to the body - nice. Most of the time it stays in tune even after a week of sitting idle or consistent use. Even the low-B stays steady (which a lot people fight with - the B on the Fender almost always need re-tuning). Intonation and setup from the factory were great - slight fret buzz when I had old strings but seems to have gone away when I put on new strings.

The only issue I've had was when I was putting the bass on over my head (during the service at church). I still had a good grip on the neck so I saved it from crashing. The carve at the bottom tends to flare the strap hole area up, but a better strap or a good strap-lock should take care of that.

Traben Basses Phoenix 4 Series TRAP4BKS 4-String Bass Guitar, Black Shadow Review

i have had this bass and gigged it for several years now and would have to say just on looks alone this is a winner,however sonicly it produces a good range of tone with endless sustain. i play metal, rock, a little funk, and contemporary christian music and find just by tweaking the eq and switching from one pickup to another i can get what i need out of it. my only two complaints would be that anyone who sees me playing it drools and the mids are almost too prominent at times but that could be partially due to my amp. all in all good bass with versatility and awesome looks and playability.

Traben Basses Phoenix 4 Series TRAP4BRD 4-String Bass Guitar, Blood Red Review

So, looking for a lefty bass is always challenging. But when I saw the Traben Phoenix, I thought my prayers were answered - it was a case of immediate lust. However, my lust soon turned to disgust after I received my bass. It arrived looking beautiful, but I immediately discovered that the pot that controls the blending of each pickup was non-functional. Hanser Music, the distributor of Traben, would not allow me to have the bass looked at locally (there is no dealer within several hundred miles) and required me to send it back to them. It took over six weeks for them to repair the bass and get it back to me (requiring my purchase of a back up bass to continue my instruction) - and lo and behold when I finally got it back, there was a terrible hum when I plugged it in. Deciding to eat the cost, rather than have another interminable delay, I took it to a local repair shop where I discovered that the bass was not properly grounded. It cost me $40 to have it repaired. I will note that after a lot of back and forth with Hanser, they did reimburse me the $40. Unfortunately, the story does not end there - soon thereafter, the same pickup pot stopped working. I opened up the bass and discovered a very poorly soldered wire on the pot. I resoldered it myself and since them, the bass works properly.

While my Traben bass does look wonderful and sounds great, no one should have to worry about purchasing a new $600 instrument and having to deal with multiple problems necessitating the expenditure of much time and trouble. Traben manufactures the Phoenix in Korea and it appears that the quality control is very poor both in Korea and here in the US. While Hanser's customer service is very pleasant, it shouldn't have been that hard to check out the bass before both initial shipment to the dealer and before returning a defective product to the consumer. I would not recommend purchasing a Traben bass unless you have a local dealer who is prepared to stand behind the product.

Trace Elliot TA 100 Review

A++! Better than anything I've played before. Period. My style: acoustic rock. The built in soft knee compression is transparent (and you can select the level of compression). Preamps have very low noise. The amp sounds nearly reference-amp-like with a flat EQ. The crisp sound of the Neodynium speakers, along with feather weight are an absolute pleasure. But the best item on this amp: the 6 band graphic EQ on the master. I can set up the amp for a tailored sound. The back has plenty of options for send, returns, and DI outs.

The only goofy thing: the second channel XLR requires the cable shield to be tied into not only pin 1, but also the jack shield (yes the metallic male piece that gets inserted into the amp's female receptacle). After reviewing the schematic with a local tech, it seems Trace has come up with a novel mono-stereo-XLR-all-in-one-plug that allegedly reduces noise and maximizes flexibility for stereo rigs (can you really get stereo effect from two small speakers 3 inches apart?). But no bother, this amp is well worth one design oddity.

For acoustic acts doing easy listening, light rock, country, and classical, I'd put the price-to-value setting at about $550. Of course you'll want to uplink to a bigger PA in larger venues, but this amp seems reasonable for most 100 person or less venues. [Review by: Drift@7]

A Link jack in the master section allows two K1 amps to be connected, combining the full mixing functions of both units when creating a true stereo 240W system. Classic Traynor K Series features such as a balanced line output, speaker-canceling headphone jack, all metal bar handles, and speaker stand mount adaptor are also included. The Traynor K1 Keyboard Amplifier is built in North America using solid, marine-grade cabinet construction and an all-metal punched grill to protect the amp's high quality speaker components.

I am really blown away by the quality of the Traynor K1. I purchased the amp after being dissatisfied with my Roland amp. This amp has plenty of power with no distortion, even at high volume levels. I would recommend this amp to anyone!
