Ok; I was shopping for a new guitar the other day (a bass, rather), and I came across a brand I'd never heard of before: Traben. They looked like they were the real deal (3 band active EQ, quilt maple top, 5pc neck, etc), so I picked on up, and played on it for a while. I was amazed. It played quite well (VERY well), and the active PUs were fantastic. Quite possibly the coolest feature of these basses are the bridges, they're HUGE, not to mention gorgeous. Supposedly the large size (and numerous bolts holding it on) increase sustain of the bass.
Anyway, here's their home page, and here's the bass I'm looking at getting (Probably in blood red). This thing's going to run me just under a thousand bucks (cdn), which is quite alot for someone on my budget, so I'm just wondering if anyone could tell me if the quality is there, and if Traben is worth buying from.
Thanks in advance!
