Vintage Tube Amp

This listing is for a Vintage 1978 Traynor YBA-1 Bass Master Guitar Amp with Matsushita Mullard Tubes! The two 6CA7/EL34s are Westinghouse branded, marked Japan with an O getter and have a seam on the top (very faint on one) indicating that they are Matsushita Mullards. The three 12AX7s are GE branded, marked Japan with an O getter and have a seam on the top indicating that they are also Matsushita Mullards. The serial number (8010404) indicates that it was manufactured in January 1978. Prior to listing it was tested using a cabinet and Squier Strat that we keep for testing. It played beautifully, with a huge sound and very little hum – more of a quiet hiss, really. In fair cosmetic condition, for its age and would benefit from a deep cleaning. The power transformer is mounted at a slight angle – we’re not sure why. This is the only one on the market with a premium tube set – don’t let it get away! Powered by SixBit’s eCommerce Solution.

At top 40 guitars. Our customers satisfaction is our first concern. If after 14 days you are not completely satisfied. Peace be with you.. Were at the time of sale. All original packing must be included. Up for Sale is a. Vintage’70s Traynor YBA-1 Bass Master! 40 Watt All Tube Amp Head! This is Really Cool. You are looking at a Vintage’70s Traynor YBA-1 Bass Master 40 Watt All Tube Amp Head. Very similar to a Fender Bassman Blackface head. And just like a Bassman, the Bass Master is a much better guitar amp head than a bass head. The Bass Master has a very rich warm tube tone. Although originally designed as a bass head, the Traynor YBA-1 rapidly became the voice of guitar players looking for massive tone and drive from their amp throughout the 60s and 70s. The four separate inputs have been designed with varying input sensitivities allowing for radically different tones from each. By design, Channel One inputs deliver higher gain and drive than the darker and warmer Channel Two inputs. Each pair of inputs have their own highly responsive volume controls, and inputs can be stacked to allow both inputs to be blended simultaneously for that massive vintage drive tone. Four master tone controls (Treble, Bass, High and Low Range Expanders) make it easy to dial in the perfect sound. While’Treble’ and’Bass’ act as traditional tone controls, the Range Expanders function more as’Mid’ and’Presence’ Controls. Our Amp Tech serviced this amp. All pots, jacks and tube sockets were cleaned. A couple of caps were replaced. Replaced Fuse holder and fuse. You won’t have to spend any additional monies on this amp. Gig Ready on Arrival. Tolex is in very good shape. A few minor scratches and tears but still good condition. Traynor logo is missing. Instrument control bezel is very clean. All lettering is still legible. A piece of mahogany wood replaced the grill cloth. Overall, a really nice Amp. Look at the pictures closely. They will tell the story. Top 40 guitars is a Veteran owned business.
