  1. Indeed. Of course when I refer to 6L6 I'm referring to the GC variety that you'll find in almost all guitar/bass applications.
  2. Cool huh and the same as the Mesa Boogie 400+. The Ampeg SVT and Fender Super Bassman use the larger 6550s which are roughly twice as powerful hence only needing the 6. But those amps are significantly heavier because of the larger transformers needed to power the 6550s.
  3. Traynor YBA300 valve head running 12 6L6s for that unmatched all valve feel. This was the dream head for me but I just don't use it enough and need the cash. The amp has performed perfectly since I've had it - i've used it four or five times at larger outdoor shows but it has to go sadly. Has the super cool bias management system on the back where you set the bias for pairs of valves meaning that if one fails, the amp shuts down that pair, you continue playing and then only have to replace that pair. All valve pairs are biased pretty cool so there are no lights at idle and it runs super quiet. Only issue I can find is that the active jack input feels slightly less positive than the passive but the jack plug still engages and transfers signal - just doesn't click like the passive one. When playing, you really get the feeling that this amp is only just ticking over and has crazy amounts of power in reserve. As for sounds, this amp is just so warm and feels amazing behind you. It doesn't sound like an Ampeg which is more fluffy and attenuated - this thing just has tons of clean headroom and clarity. You can dial in little grind with a passive bass by cranking the gain but I preferred to run the master on full and then tickle the gain knob to get to the stage volume I needed. That way you get this thick wall of clear bass tone. It's pretty epic and probably one of the only YBA300s in the country, certainly the only one for sale. No logo I'm afraid but it looks super mean as it is. I emailed Traynor to ask them to send me a replacement but after agreeing to, it never materialised and I moved on. The amp has seen some action with some marks to the tolex and grill but nothing other than honest wear from touring. I can supply additional pics if necessary. It comes with a heavy-duty full flightcase that was made for a slightly longer head but it fits well in terms of height and depth and I just plug the gap with a small piece of foam and it doesn't move around (see pic). The amp is surprisingly light for a high power valve head at 23 kg and is fine to move around even in the flightcase. Open to all possibilities for collection, meeting up in the South West or shipping with or without the flightcase. I can pack the valves separately and put them inside the cabinet. This amp is incredibly robust. Contact me for a quote.

  5. apologies - just noticed there's a wanted forum - please delete
  6. More pictures added - happy to sell the amp on its own without flightcase. Need to sell this one as I've bought a YBA300.
  7. Top of the line Fender bass amp from the professional series in the early 2000s incorporating the classic TBP-1 valve preamp with passive tone stack and 600 watt solid state power amp. Footswitchable drive channel, parametric EQ, effects loop and built in tuner. Has that classic vintage Fender tone and drive with the valve preamp section. Comes with rare footswitch. in heavy duty 3U flightcase. All the power you'd ever need! Read the amazing reviews online including https://www.disssa.de/reviews/amps/fender-tb-600/ (in German but Google can translate it for you). Sansamp not included. Happy to ship with UPS next day for £25.

  9. Checked speakers and the dodgy sounding speaker is not torn but feels like the coil has broken. When you push the cone in there is resistance and friction but the other speakers are smooth. Any ideas for a replacement speaker or is it repairable?
  10. Hey - I've blown one of the speakers in my 4x12 - sounds farty and the others are fine. Any ideas how to get a new one? The GK distributors Polar seem to be out of stock. Cheers. Simon
