  1. Bought a pedal off Dan in an effortlessly smooth transaction. Nae Danger here
  2. [size="3"][color="#000000"][font="Calibri"]Yup – always loved big valve amps (sound city 200, 120, Bassman 135, SVT’s, VBA400, Traynor YBA200, Ashdown Drophead 200) then for some reason decided to try going lightweight. [/font][/color][/size] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Head wise I went through Orange Bass Terror (which I actually really liked), TB RH450, TC BH250, Ashdown LB550, Ampeg portaflex 350 – none of them did what I wanted.[/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Cab wise I went through an Ashdown VS212, a Barefaced 1 x 12, an Ashdown neo 4x8, TC 2x12 – didn’t like any of them (the VS212 wasn’t terrible).[/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Now im back to a good old SVT, V4BH and an Ampeg 410he – back to being happy with my tone[/color][/size][/font]
  3. [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]I would suggest the Orange Bass terror too. [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]Im a bit of an all valve snob but the OBT is one of the only hyrbirds ive tried/heard that really did it for me[/color][/size][/font]
  4. Could potentially open up to trades/Part ex. I like P basses and semi hollow bases (a MIM 50's RI is burst or an ebony Jack Casady would tickle my pickle)
  5. Valves will help keep you warm in the winter months type bump
  6. New amp is here type bump. Reduced on Ebay to £500 ONO so open to offers
  7. [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Gave this a good blast last night at the studio and as is always the case when I put gear up for sale, it sounded monumental. [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]Did Substitute by The Who and I got some lovely valvey growls when digging in [/color][/size][/font][size="3"][color="#000000"][font=Wingdings][font=Wingdings]J[/font][/font][/color][/size]
  8. [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Traynor YBA200 all valve bass amp.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]This has been professionally upgraded to the YBA200-2 specs by Mike Powell @ MPA Service following help from Darren Butt at Yorkville which bypasses the supposed self bias system that caused issues on several units. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Part of the upgrade also is to replace/upgrade the standard issue 6550’s with JJ KT88’s.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]The amp has never given me an ounce of trouble and, being quite rare for a valve amp as it uses a toroidal transformer – it weighs less than my old Ashdown ABM!.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]No dings, scuffs, knocks or bumps and comes with fitted Roqsolid dust cover.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Now the difficult bit – describing the sound. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]I play it through an Ampeg 410he with a flats loaded P bass.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]The sound is thick and meaty without being boomy (the Resonance control is excellent for that).[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]It does break up when pushed and I play just on the edge of this.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Never EVER ran out of headroom playing in medium sized clubs without PA support.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]The amp works with 8ohm or 4ohm cabs with its impedance selector switch.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Im looking for [b][u]£500 [/u][/b][/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]collected from Bolton (have it at a higher price on eBay) or could deliver within reasonable distance.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Comes with the Roqsolid cover, 3mth old JJ KT88’s and given the overall great condition I think it’s a reasonable price for a light 200w all valve amp.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Trials welcome.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]My Photobucket account is playing up so will need to email pics to any potential buyers. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]We rehearse on a weds night around Bolton so more than welcome to bob over and hear it at a decent volume.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Spec from Traynor:-[/color][/size][/font] Features: - 200 watt All-Tube Bass Amplifier - 4x KT88 power tubes, 2x 12AX7A and 1x 12AU7 preamp tubes - 3-band Master EQ with Range Control - Innovative Scoop and Resonance Controls - 1/4-inch Tuner Output with System Mute Switch - Switchable Pre/Post XLR D.I.

  9. Traynor YBA200? Even as a 200w all valve effort they use torodial transformers so keeps the weight down. Probably weights the same as a sleeved Ashdown ABM
  10. Anth bought some strings off me in an effortlessly smooth transaction. Nae danger here
  11. Afternoon all, im looking to get my Ampeg 10" driver reconed following some buzzing and farting last night. On closer inspection the speaker cone in the concertina part has a split in it. Ive seen the eminence B810's as a replacement but was wondering if a recone would be cheaper
  12. Bought a jazz bass bridge cover off David in an effortlessly smooth transaction with stupidly quick postage! Nae danger here
  13. As a PB70 owner myself if I can help out with any measurements or owt give me a shout
  14. Yes. It seems part of the chassis overhang is in the way so to change 2 of the 3 valves would mean taking the PCB out?
  15. [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Bought a bitsa Jazz Bass off Mike in an effortlessly smooth transaction.[/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][/font] [font="Calibri"][size="3"][color="#000000"]Warpped to perfection, exactly as described and delivered quicker than a quick thing on quick day. [/color][/size][size="3"][color="#000000"]Nae danger here[/color][/size][/font]
  16. Looking at that pic, there is only access to one valve! How do you go about changing/swapping?
  17. [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Do such things as a lower profile P bass bridge covers exist?[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]My PB70 has the chrome pup and bridge cover but recently ive noticed the original vintage ones seem to be much lower profile. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]My pup cover is fine but my bridge cover (genuine Fender) seems to protrude quite a bit above the bridge.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Ideally id like something with much less height but as this is a genuine fender one (reissue obviously) is there anything else out there bar a genuine vintage one?[/color][/size][/font]
