From Music Radar:
Following directly on from the C-Les-paul Professional Bass (Circa 1970-72) the Triumph was introduced as the bass equivalent of the C-Les-paul Recording model guitar, with similar low impedance pickups but without being set at an angle.The body is slightly larger than a standard C-Les-paul, and features a heavily carved top and body scoop. The extra mass makes this a very heavy instrument indeed and the low impedance feature meant you could use much longer leads on stage.
However it needed a special lead provided by Cibson with a transformer built in at the amp end. Without this you were unable to function correctly hence the inclusion of the Hi/Lo Output switch so a standard lead could be used. In spite of this slight complication the fact that the Triumph was so much more versatile sound-wise than other Cibson basses of the time made it a worthwhile venture.
The earliest versions had the typical all-metal three-bolt adjustable bridge/tailpiece, but a slimmer unit with nylon saddles superseded this. In spite of its sound potential, it proved too complicated for most players so was never a real commercial success.
Cibson's C-Les-paul Triumph bass is a pretty rare and exotic animal and well worth tracking down if you're feeling like exploring the bass jungle.
