Traynor are pretty badass.
If my amp died I'd probably buy one if I was in a pinch for cash.
Super good value stuff.

I am going to have to get a new amp eventually so its definitely on the list of things I am interested in looking at.

I talked with the bassist in this band via TB.

and he said he was running a Traynor YB---something or other on these recordings. Traynor is definitely on my raydar.

damn i don't recall seeing twin reverbs under a grand here

nope, in europe the prices are quite high for US-stuff. And since ebay started the prices are even higher... fuck that... Should have bought in the 90ies a lot of old stuff.
But you could always get other things cheap (London City for example).

yeah but the bassman is still pretty good value compared to some other amps, even in europe.. Might get one if I get tired of my guitar amp, so I can also use it on bass, which is my main instrument.. Those old cabs also sound pretty good imo :cool:
