Traben Bass Company is an electric bass manufacturer based in Clearwater, Florida. The company was started by Tracy Hoeft and Ben Chafin, and the name is a portmanteau of their first names (Tracy and Ben). The company is a subsidiary of Hanser Holdings International, and as such is affiliated with companies such as B.C. Rich and Michael Kelly Guitars. Traben basses have a unique custom look thanks to our distinctive bridge designs. While these are visually unique, the real benefit is to the tone!
