I got this bass sometime in the early 2000’s. Traben was a Florida-based company. They were known for interesting metal work and cool woods. I went to the music store to buy another bass and came home with this one. Nice neck and a very wide range of sonic capabilities. If you look at the top of the bass, the nut (little string guide thingy) is made of metal. Very unique!
