Exotic figured wood meets up with out-of-control style and tone!
The Phoenix Custom 4 matches in-your-face sound with fiery style for a bass that excels for heavy music styles. That great sound comes from Seymour Duncan Bassline pickups, Duncan electronics, and a Custom big Traben bridge. The Custom 4 gets its hot look from the flame-inspired bridge, quilted maple top, and a two-tone flame inlay that blazes across the rosewood fingerboard.
Traben's unique philosophy for building electric basses centers around their large bridges for bigger, badder tone. These bigger bridges are designed to have more mass and more bridge-to-body contact for added resonance in the body.
