Trans-Trem
Encyclopedia : T : TR : TRA : Trans-Trem
Developed by Steinberger in 1984, the TransTrem guitar tremolo system keeps all six strings in tune with each other so chords stay in tune during tremolo operation. No other tremolo is available with this feature.
In 1987, HAZ Labs, who provided the electronics for Steinberger (with the exception being the pickups, which were from EMG, Inc.), built roughly two-hundred TransTrem units for the bass. Popularity was never there, and no further bass trems were ever built. Basses equipped with TransTrems are quite rare and valuable as collector's items.
