[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]

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)

[font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Right, this is back up for sales but as spares/repair.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Effectively this was serviced back in June 2016 by Mike Powell of MPAV Services in Bolton. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]The service upgraded the amp to 200-2 specs and included a full new set of JJ KT88’s.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]I have the schematics from Yorkville that fully detail the 200-2 mod and can supply these.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]The amp went on to run flawlessly until several weeks ago. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]I sold the amp on here in full working order, had a PM off the buyer saying they were pleased with the amp and I thought that was that, another good transaction on Basschat.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]However, 2 weeks later the buyer got in contact to say the amp was humming, there were crackles and pops and they wanted their money back![/color][/size][/font]

[font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Since then the amp has been sat here. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]I have a lovely Ampeg V4B that is my main amp and I just don’t have the time or inclination to take it to the fixers and incure a bench/repair fee.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]As such the amp is sold as is, spares or repair. [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Im after £200 ono for it.[/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][size=3][color=#000000]Not a clue what has gone wrong with it so it will need to go to a good repair tech or someone more tech savvy than myself.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Calibri][size=3][color=#000000]Would consider swap/trade for a 90s bubble font muff pedal[/color][/size][/font]
