News Traben & Bootsy Spread a Little Funky Love
August 20, Clearwater Florida. Traben Bass Company announced today that they have teamed up with their signature artist and master of aero-funka-ronics Bootsy Collins to send a select group of the most preeminent bassists (who pledge to keep the funk alive) their very own Traben Bootzilla Bass. The first two bassist to experience the Bootzillas Boomin biotics are P-Nut and Freekbass. After trying the Traben Bootzilla, Freekbass said,"Taking the Traben Bootzilla Bass out for my first test drive, I was amazed how sleek it was, with as much bottom-end as it can put out. Bootsy and Traben did this one right. My hands were smilin', while my speakers were flyin', and I can't wait to get this one out on the road ! Even Robin gets to drive the Batmobile sometimes..."
P-Nut added, It's the greatest of honors for me as a bass player to have received the Traben Bootzilla Bass from the man himself. I am humbled and thankful beyond the use of my vocabulary. Keep the funk alive.
Traben basses have made a name for themselves with their "Bigger Bridge - Bigger Tone" innovation. Basses with massive chrome plated brass bridges have become instantly recognizable to the eyes and the ears as distinctly a Traben. Traben claims and incidentally, backs up the claim, that its Bigger Bridges with their increased bridge to body contact increase sustain, attack and definition of note when compared to an industry standard bridge.
